    Animagine XL 3.1 is an update in the Animagine XL V3 series, enhancing the previous version, Animagine XL 3.0. This open-source, anime-themed text-to-image model has been improved for generating anime-style images with higher quality. It includes a broader range of characters from well-known anime series, an optimized dataset, and new aesthetic tags for better image creation. Built on Stable Diffusion XL, Animagine XL 3.1 aims to be a valuable resource for anime fans, artists, and content creators by producing accurate and detailed representations of anime characters.

    Model Details

    • Developed by: Cagliostro Research Lab

    • In collaboration with: SeaArt.ai

    • Model type: Diffusion-based text-to-image generative model

    • Model Description: Animagine XL 3.1 generates high-quality anime images from textual prompts. It boasts enhanced hand anatomy, improved concept understanding, and advanced prompt interpretation.

    • License: Fair AI Public License 1.0-SD

    • Fine-tuned from: Animagine XL 3.0

    Usage Guidelines

    Tag Ordering

    For optimal results, it's recommended to follow the structured prompt template because we train the model like this:

    1girl/1boy, character name, from what series, everything else in any order.
    

    Special Tags

    Animagine XL 3.1 utilizes special tags to steer the result toward quality, rating, creation date and aesthetic. While the model can generate images without these tags, using them can help achieve better results.

    Quality Modifiers

    Quality tags now consider both scores and post ratings to ensure a balanced quality distribution. We've refined labels for greater clarity, such as changing 'high quality' to 'great quality'.

    
    Quality Modifier	Score Criterion
    masterpiece	        > 95%
    best quality	        > 85% & ≤ 95%
    great quality	        > 75% & ≤ 85%
    good quality	        > 50% & ≤ 75%
    normal quality	        > 25% & ≤ 50%
    low quality	        > 10% & ≤ 25%
    worst quality	        ≤ 10%

    Rating Modifiers

    We've also streamlined our rating tags for simplicity and clarity, aiming to establish global rules that can be applied across different models. For example, the tag 'rating: general' is now simply 'general', and 'rating: sensitive' has been condensed to 'sensitive'.

    
    Rating Modifier	    Rating Criterion
    safe	            General
    sensitive	    Sensitive
    nsfw	            Questionable
    explicit, nsfw	    Explicit

    Year Modifier

    We've also redefined the year range to steer results towards specific modern or vintage anime art styles more accurately. This update simplifies the range, focusing on relevance to current and past eras.

    
    Year Tag	Year Range
    newest	        2021 to 2024
    recent	        2018 to 2020
    mid	        2015 to 2017
    early	        2011 to 2014
    oldest	        2005 to 2010

    Aesthetic Tags

    We've enhanced our tagging system with aesthetic tags to refine content categorization based on visual appeal. These tags are derived from evaluations made by a specialized ViT (Vision Transformer) image classification model, specifically trained on anime data. For this purpose, we utilized the model shadowlilac/aesthetic-shadow-v2, which assesses the aesthetic value of content before it undergoes training. This ensures that each piece of content is not only relevant and accurate but also visually appealing.

    
    Aesthetic Tag	       Score Range
    very aesthetic	       > 0.71
    aesthetic	       > 0.45 & < 0.71
    displeasing	       > 0.27 & < 0.45
    very displeasing       ≤ 0.27

    Recommended settings

    To guide the model towards generating high-aesthetic images, use negative prompts like:

    nsfw, lowres, (bad), text, error, fewer, extra, missing, worst quality, jpeg artifacts, low quality, watermark, unfinished, displeasing, oldest, early, chromatic aberration, signature, extra digits, artistic error, username, scan, [abstract]
    

    For higher quality outcomes, prepend prompts with:

    masterpiece, best quality, very aesthetic, absurdres
    

    it’s recommended to use a lower classifier-free guidance (CFG Scale) of around 5-7, sampling steps below 30, and to use Euler Ancestral (Euler a) as a sampler.

    Multi Aspect Resolution

    This model supports generating images at the following dimensions:

    Dimensions	Aspect Ratio
    1024 x 1024	1:1 Square
    1152 x 896	9:7
    896 x 1152	7:9
    1216 x 832	19:13
    832 x 1216	13:19
    1344 x 768	7:4 Horizontal
    768 x 1344	4:7 Vertical
    1536 x 640	12:5 Horizontal
    640 x 1536	5:12 Vertical

    Thank you all for your support and expertise in pushing the boundaries of anime-style image generation.

    Limitations

    While Animagine XL 3.1 represents a significant advancement in anime-style image generation, it is important to acknowledge its limitations:

    1. Anime-Focused: This model is specifically designed for generating anime-style images and is not suitable for creating realistic photos.

    2. Prompt Complexity: This model may not be suitable for users who expect high-quality results from short or simple prompts. The training focus was on concept understanding rather than aesthetic refinement, which may require more detailed and specific prompts to achieve the desired output.

    3. Prompt Format: Animagine XL 3.1 is optimized for Danbooru-style tags rather than natural language prompts. For best results, users are encouraged to format their prompts using the appropriate tags and syntax.

    4. Anatomy and Hand Rendering: Despite the improvements made in anatomy and hand rendering, there may still be instances where the model produces suboptimal results in these areas.

    5. Dataset Size: The dataset used for training Animagine XL 3.1 consists of approximately 870,000 images. When combined with the previous iteration's dataset (1.2 million), the total training data amounts to around 2.1 million images. While substantial, this dataset size may still be considered limited in scope for an "ultimate" anime model.

    6. NSFW Content: Animagine XL 3.1 has been designed to generate more balanced NSFW content. However, it is important to note that the model may still produce NSFW results, even if not explicitly prompted.

    By acknowledging these limitations, we aim to provide transparency and set realistic expectations for users of Animagine XL 3.1. Despite these constraints, we believe that the model represents a significant step forward in anime-style image generation and offers a powerful tool for artists, designers, and enthusiasts alike.

    I think this is one of the XL models that is most suitable for anime expression.

    It is easier to get better results if you bring the quality tag in at the beginning.

    v3.1 is too much anime-like. I love anime-like, but I think this one is too much, similar to cute style's tag. So I prefer v3.0 with prompt anime style's tag.

    edit: after spend many hours for v3.1 I think I love v3.1. I founded you need to add "cinematic lighting" prompt and put "very displeasing" in negative prompts will make picture better like v3.0 but character's eyes still too big like a cute style, so I need to add "newest" and some sexy prompts to confute cute style

    The light effects that can be done (especially if you couple them with cinematic lighting or the great lighting slider) are wonderful, even more so than 3.0.

    In fact it made generating certain "atypical" scenes (transformation scenes, dramatic scenes, dynamic scenes) much easier. Kudos to the entire CagliostroLab team!

    @Aruhshura Certainly. I realize my wording was unclear: you can use "cinematic lighting" to improve the overall lighting. The other is indeed a slider, and it's the "great lighting" slider: https://civitai.com/models/228974/great-lighting-sliders-ntcaixyz

    imho, 3.0 is better than 3.1 in terms of looks.

    The color of the face and the body often mismatch in 3.1, and the bodies overall just look weird.

    If you like the built-in characters, then 3.1 is fine. But I, personally, will just stick to 3.0 with LoRAs.

    sofiadamasko257Mar 23, 2024

    I think the same, the bodies look weird, I liked version 3.0 better and the bad thing now is that I can't use version 3.0 in civitai where I usually make images, my computer is not good enough to do this

    AmerainMar 24, 2024· 3 reactions

    Images look worse in 3.1 cause this model has learned the concept of "aesthetic" during its latest training process, so it tends to produce 'unaesthetic' content when there is no aesthetic modifier in prompt. In my own experiments, just follow the official prompt guideline will produce decent images. For example, add (masterpiece), (best quality), (very aesthetic), (intricate details) at the end of prompt, and put 1girl, solo at the beginning.

    SkullSkateApr 4, 2024· 2 reactions

    I would check the "Clip Skip" option and set it to 2 if you don't already have it.

    You can also check the resolution and the number of steps, some models are adapted for certain resolutions and perhaps the one you chose is not suitable and you could leave it at 40 steps.

    Or, try adding the following to the negative prompt: (worst quality, low quality:1.2)

    If you can't get the image you want, use Text to Image, fill in the prompt with more details so that the AI understands in more detail what it is seeing, for example:

    +

    (masterpiece), 1girl, long hair, white hair, hair between eyes, heterochromia, white dress, sleeveless, black thighhighs, white boots, dress lift, best quality, expressive eyes, perfect face, full body, white background,

    -

    (worst quality, low quality:1.2), nsfw, lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing fingers, extra digit, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, normal quality, jpeg artifacts, signature, watermark , username, blurry

    BootyMcBootyApr 23, 2024

    Hey, I've been meaning to ask this too since I've seen how radically different certain artists can do for any character. So I've been on a binge for days worth of testing between 4 of my favorite characters from different series (Hanayo, Tohru, Hamakaze and Nessa) with various clothing and poses to showdown between artist tags.

    You can find my findings here: https://www.reddit.com/r/WaifuDiffusion/search/?q=author%3Aacoolrocket&include_over_18=on&restrict_sr=on&t=all&sort=new

    In short, its unfortunately a tie at times for certain characters and a good amount of times they have their own desirable specific artist for that anime series.

    Although if I were to draw 3 of the best, it would be between terufuu, negom and sekina.

    @mumumu1295  I put it at the very beginning, (by [artist tag]:1.2) setting the weight from 1 to 1.3. But that's not a guideline from me.

    16192Apr 24, 2024· 1 reaction

    @Shallowpuddle I read the article. Interesting. Based on my experience and experiments, the use of a large number of artist tags harms the end result, often adding anatomical distortions, unnecessary objects and artifacts. I use no more than 3-4 artist tags at a time. But usually 2-3. This has become kind of my rule.

    I tend to think that the weight and order of the artists' tags give a greater impact than their number.

    I came up with three ways to use tags. Nothing special, but it works fine for me:

    The first option is the usual one. Just the tags in a row. And here either all weights are the same (usually I put (1.15-1.25)), or with different weights.

    If different, then the first tag is the main tag that defines the style, the secondary tags add details to the main style.

    Usually the weight of the first tag is in the range (1.2-1.3). For the secondary ones in the range (0.85-1.15).

    EXAMPLE 1: "(by sylvia_\(huajiuhuajiu\):1.25), (by kaguura_\(kagu\):1.25), (by ask_\(askzy\):1.25),"

    EXAMPLE 2: "(by sylvia_\(huajiuhuajiu\):1.3), (by kaguura_\(kagu\):1.15), (by ask_\(askzy\):1.1),"

    The second option is to use Automatic1111's Prompt Editing feature. [From:To:When] [ARTIST_TAG1:ARTIST_TAG2:STEP TO SWITCH]

    We generate some kind of artist tag up to a certain step, after which we switch to other tags. In my opinion, it is a very underestimated feature that is rarely used.

    EXAMPLE 1: "[(by kaguura_\(kagu\):1.3):,(by sylvia_\(huajiuhuajiu\):1.3),(by ask_\(askzy\):1.1):0.25],"

    In this example, we use the Kaguura tag for up to 25% of the generation, after which we switch to Sylvia+Ask. It is very convenient to control the composition and style. I often look for a seed with a certain artist first (or even without artist at all), after which somewhere from 25-50% (0.25-0.5) I set the style that I want to see in the final version. Very similar to Refiner.

    EXAMPLE 2: "[:(by sylvia_\(huajiuhuajiu\):1.3),(by kaguura_\(kagu\):1.15),(by ask_\(askzy\):1.1):0.33],"

    The third option is to use Automatic1111's Alternating-Words feature.

    [ARTIST_TAG1|ARTIST_TAG2]. Where the first tag alternates with the second after each step. You can have more than two tags, but I usually use alternating two.

    This option is very... random and often the result is /interesting/, but it can be very harmful to the composition, details, and quality. And well, I use it in combination with the second option (EXAMPLE 2).

    EXAMPLE 1: "[(by kaguura_\(kagu\):1.3)|(by sylvia_\(huajiuhuajiu\):1.3),(by ask_\(askzy\):1.1)],"

    EXAMPLE 2: "[:[(by kaguura_\(kagu\):1.3)|(by sylvia_\(huajiuhuajiu\):1.3),(by ask_\(askzy\):1.1)]:0.33],"

    And again, this is my way and experience. Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
    Anyway, I think experimentation is great.
    I apologize for the wall of text, it somehow turned out by itself :D

    AmerainApr 24, 2024· 1 reaction

    @Hannibal_Lector unique insight, my stereotype stems from the convention of NAI3 community, people there usually compose long string of artists tag(more than five) to achieve particular style, but invest little time in the weight and order of them.
    From my experience, large number of artist names do sometimes undermine the overall style, but select tags carefully could resolve this problem, for example impasto style(ask, wlop, modare and much more) is an ideal basis for accommodating other styles, so this kind of artist tag is universal in almost all NAI3 images.
    Anyway I appreciate your valuable experimentation, later I'll try it out myself.

    EbenezerDanglewoodMay 2, 2024· 1 reaction

    @Hannibal_Lector The alternating prompt is also extremely useful for colors. It tends to be easier and more reliable to mix basic colors than to try to prompt a particular tone/saturation directly.

    I had the same problem the only thing that worked for me slightly better than Adetailer was just doing inpainting on the hands with very simple prompts and doing it iteratively. Do high batch count, select one which looks the best and then inpaint on that one and continue improving until you find something that looks good.

    What comes closest to a solutions is LoRA's that fix hands, but they aren't foolproof: https://civitai.com/models/411088/detailed-perfection-style-xl-hands-feet-face-body-all-in-one-sd15 does do a pretty okay job though!

    i do not know whether civit implements this feature; but many of the underlying inference engines / text transformers allow for exactly what you are asking (separate prompts for separate objects within an image). you'd do that by separating (effectively independant) prompts with the keyword "BREAK".

    example: "woman, smiling

    BREAK

    male, serious"

    i advise experimentation and would appreciate feedback if it results in anything

And the reason why it is bad does not matter when the end result is just... bad. This model -while can be considered good generally- is simply not a functional model for nsfw works without an unnecessary amount of work.

    in a sense weight :1 is top lighting and as you go on further weights the angle changes, :1.3 - 1.5 ive even gone as far as 1.6-1.7 to get some over the top lighting effects

    I can, through ComfyUI and Python combined. Using it in DreamIO game and generating pictures just for fun. 3D models are great if you put some effort to positive and negative prompts.

    Which VAE is recommended for this model?
    I have SDXL and Grapefruit VAEs.

    its works smooth for me with any tbh, you just need to figure out what you doing, SDXL give it more steps to process it like more steps, Grapefruit you can get cool results with 25+ steps and it will also handle lora stacks and it also likes more steps to process complex prompts wich Grapefruit is very good at handling complex prompts
