Description
This is an Anima workflow that generates high-quality Silly Tavern character expressions in just minutes. Gives you tons of options (portrait mode, background creator, 4k/1440p resolutions, manual selection, additional prompt tags, clothing options, etc.), yet, it's designed to be easy as just clicking "run" upon first load. In addition, it will generate sex expressions for all non-extreme positions, as well as combat poses.

Update 0.91 Notes:
Pretty much done now. All perceivable errors fixed. All functions are included. Tags are 'good enough' for now, at least. Now I'm just going to use this for a month or so and hammer out the tiny stuff before releasing the final version. Read update notes for 0.9 updates. (hotfix) Accidentally forgot to remove the padding node on minimax export, which shifted the whitening mask. (Turns out padding is bad for Qwen Image Background Removal)

New-Requirements (Qwen Image 2.1 (6-step) Turbo:

• [ Download ]: Viggle's sigma node
  (Save .py file to custom nodes folder)

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/.../ComfyUI/custom_nodes
wget https://huggingface.co/Viggle/Qwen-Image-2.1-viggle-turbo/raw/main/comfyui/viggle_turbo.py

• [ Download ]: Qwen Image 2.1 Model 6 step turbo
  ( I recommend int 8 convrot version, best accuracy; better than fp8 )
  

Operation

• Open ComfyUI, press 'W' for Workflows, click on ST_Expression_Gen
  

• Then select a character from the Character Styles node.
  

• Click 'Run' (Or batch run)
  

• It will generate a random expression in this format: expression-##.avif
  (As well as a JSON containing the prompt and the seed)
  

• Copy all avif files to SillyTavern/data/default-user/character/<character>
  

• Restart SillyTavern, it now should recognize your character expressions
  

Making your own character:

• Go to ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfyui-easy-use/styles
  

• Open the Characters.json
  (Or better yet, make your own, so your characters don't get overwritten on update)
  (Use Characters.json as a template.)
  (Use only character tags)
  (No quality tags, no action tags, gestures, posture, poses, camera, etc..)
  (Only use anatomy and clothing tags.)
  

• Same for Outfits.json / Footwhere.json / Or whatever

Questions

How do I get Silly Tavern to use the extra expressions?
Set expressions to Main API. Add custom expression for each one you want. (You only have to do this once.)

You may also want to search for Outfit Changer for silly tavern. It's great if you have a Bankai version of your character, for example.
