⚡ Anima Workflow:
🛠️ Purpose & Design Philosophy
This workflow is designed for quality and autonomy, not speed. It follows an "all-in-one" philosophy: configure your settings, hit queue, and let the workflow handle everything from initial generation to high-res detailing in a single pass.
Not for Speed: If you want rapid-fire generations, this is not the tool for you. A solid, much faster alternative created by darksidewalker can be found here.
Personal Use: This was built for my personal production needs. It is not intended to be a "one-size-fits-all" solution, but I am sharing it for those who value the same high-fidelity results. Please adjust the settings to your preferences!
Heavy Duty: Due to the multi-stage processing, this workflow can be resource-intensive. In my experience, the detailers are not usually needed. YMMV.
On v1g and after: If the results are too blurry for you after USDU, you can try using the RTX nodes after it to help.
v2 is compatible with AIO versions of Anima models. Note: You might have to select a random model in the Checkpoint Loader node even if you are not using it. This is because it references your models/checkpoints folder. The opposite may also be the case if you are using the Checkpoint Loader node but not the Model Loader in the Diffusion Model Loader group which references the models/diffusion_models folder.
🚀 Key Features
Beyond standard generation and upscaling, this workflow integrates:
Power LoRA Loader: Efficiently manage multiple LoRAs without spaghetti wires.
Global Controls: Centralized Seed, Sampler, and Scheduler nodes for a unified experience.
Bypass Control to toggle features on/off.
Visual Validation: Integrated Image Comparer nodes to see exactly how your image evolves at every stage.
Upscaling: 2-stage upscaling using standard image upscaling and Ultimate SD Upscale (optional).
Triple Detailer Groups: 3-stage detailing using standard BBOX and SEGM detection models for faces, hands, and clothes.
CivitAI Ready: Images are saved with full metadata (Model, LoRAs, Prompts) for easy site parsing.
⚠️ Disclaimer & Compatibility
Install at Your Own Risk: Updating ComfyUI or adding custom nodes can break your environment. I am not responsible for any installation issues.
Portable Version: This was built and tested on the ComfyUI Portable version. Desktop app users may require additional troubleshooting.
"Your Mileage May Vary": Your environment is almost certainly different from mine. I do not guarantee 1:1 compatibility.
Nodes 2.0: I strongly recommend disabling Nodes 2.0. It causes unpredictable behavior; I will not provide support for any issues arising from its use.
🤝 Support & Boundaries
No DMs: Direct messages are disabled due to high volume. Please use the Discussions tab below. Check previous comments first (unless there aren't any yet), as most common questions may have already been answered.
Custom Requests: I do not take private requests for custom workflows. If you need a specific solution built, please post a Bounty on CivitAI. There are many talented creators here who will be happy to assist you for a fee.
Modifications: You are free to add or remove nodes as you see fit. However, if you change the internal logic, you are responsible for your own troubleshooting.
The only place I am actively maintaining this workflow is here on civitai. If my workflows are being posted and monetized elsewhere, whoever posted them is obligated to provide support.
Description
Very Minor Update:
Removed Mahiro from the workflow.
Anima performs well enough without excessive model patches.
Minor Layout Adjustment
Moved the SDXL Resolutions node directly below the Initial Image Settings subgraph.
I pinned all the nodes, because I got tired of randomly dragging nodes on accident, you can unpin them by selecting the node(s) and pressing P on your keyboard.
Default settings are what I used on the sample images.
No special samplers or schedulers were used.
The prompts I used are listed on the sample images, if you are interested in those.
I used wildcards that I had Gemini assist me with. Which can be found here. They're nothing fancy. I just get bored of putting everyone in lingerie and using 'dynamic pose, action pose, etc.'
Other notes:
I tested out the updated FLSampler (BSS) node and had some decent results, but I was pretty much able to get the same results that I like by adjusting my prompts.
It might be worth trying out for some folks looking to get certain results or added sharpness.
It also did not perform well with IMG2IMG. I would have removed IMG2IMG from the workflow if this was added.
I was going to add this as a 2nd option for the intial image in the workflow, but it just was not working out. It would be doable if Image Saver wasn't in the workflow, but sorry I'm not removing Image Saver anytime soon until civitai is able to detect all the related metadata and resources used automatically.
