⚡ 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
Small update.
Removed the RTX VSR node.
Too many people were having trouble finding this node and it does not show up in ComfyUI-Manager for me as of today.
This has been replaced with the standard Upscale with Model nodes. Please ensure you have an upscale model in your models/upscale_models folder and have your preferred upscale model selected.

Great workflow, I absolutely love it! Though I ran into a bit of problem when enable Detailer 3 (the eyes detailer one), I got an error said: UltralyticsDetectorProvider [enforce fail at inline_container.cc:180] . file in archive is not in a subdirectory: Eyeful_v2-Paired.pt.
I put this model under the same folder as face detailer and hand detailer (models/ultralytics/bbox/), is it not correct? Where should I put it? Thank you in advance!
mine is in 'models/ultralytics/bbox'. Might need to double check on the dropdown and make sure to select the one you are trying to use. Maybe it's just being wonky. Sorry for the delayed message. Notifications are kind of not working right since the URL change (for me).
Edit: the only other thing I can think of is ComfyUI is flagging the detection model as unsafe and it needs to be whitelisted. If this is the case, it should give some instructions in the terminal on how to do that.
@Gladas Thank you for your reply. I figured out the problem, somehow the file I download was corrupted, I just re-download the file and it works. Don't know how did that happen 😅
Now that the RTX VSR nodes are back, I've been using version 1f, and marveling at what a powerful workflow this is... would it be possible that you add an image to image node to this? That would make this the perfect Anima workflow.
It's kind of a pain to do because it would involve needing a latent switch, which randomly seem to break for some people.
It's not hard to add. You just need a Load Image node, something to resize and convert the image resolution to a compatible size, VAE Encode and then feed the latent into the SamplerCustomAdvanced node.
@Gladas No problems, I'll try to add it myself, if it works, I'll share it with the community with credits to you, of course.
@ArtificialOtaku I have a working Image to Image setup for this workflow. As mentioned before, it's very simple to do. I'll leave a note near it in case people run into issues with it explaining how to delete it. It'll be on the next update once I get some good test runs in with it on and off to make sure there are no issues.
@Gladas awesome, thanks!
