V3.2:

Two similar workflows featuring different approaches for the second-pass upscale.

Anima3_T2I_V3.2_SDUpscale: Upscaled via Ultimate SD Upscale. Minor optimizations to nodes and parameters of V3.1.

✔Stable at low denoise values (<0.4), supports upscaling beyond 2x (4MP), and is VRAM-friendly.

❌the image becomes unstable at high denoise values.

Anima3_T2I_V3.2_HiresUpscale: High-Res Upscale (via second-pass resampling).

✔High-quality output at higher denoise (>0.4). Personally recommended: 1.5x upscale (2.25MP) with 0.65 denoise.

❌Upscaling beyond 2x (>4MP) is very unstable, and low denoise settings may occasionally cause a grainy texture.

V3.1:

This version ensures that Civitai can properly parse the required metadata in saved images, which includes all model info.

V3.0:

Add a bypassable ControlNet (Anima-LLLite). Big thanks to Kohya for creating this ControlNet.

V2.0:

Add face detailer and hand detailer.

V1.0:

A simple text-to-image workflow for Anima with Ultimate SD Upscale. (If you notice unnatural transitions when increasing the denoise value in the Upscale node, try increasing the tile_padding, such as 256.)

Thanks to @Boerboer, @sam_tofu and @RavirKun for the suggestions.

Thanks to @UmeAiRT and @CptCharname! I’ve learned so much from studying their workflows.
