    Quick tip for anyone struggling with ugly anatomy in H3: just generate your desired anatomy first in ANIMA Realistic or another model.
    Make 2 samples, one front view and one side view (only part no face), use them as reference images in your workflow.

    Prompt example:
    'For reference, the man's bazooka resembles those shown in <Picture 1>, <Picture 2>'.

    After doing this, you don't need a LoRA for specific anatomy anymore.

    I also only do ref2va and did not encounter that issue. Can you give me a proper example what you did, so I can elaborate?

    MegasherruSep 11, 2026

    @selfishkingduga167 I came here after noticing the exact same thing.
    With V1 you could see what you are about to get even at 1st or 2nd step.
    But V2 you see more fog/blurriness. then the final it also doesn't output the way V1 does. its bit more jagged and stripee

    selfishkingduga167Sep 11, 2026

    @Darksidewalker Sorry, I appear to be an idiot, I forgot to test without my usual LoRAs first. Disabling all LoRA's produced excellent results, so one or more of my LoRAs must not be compatible with V2 (I'm guessing Mystic V4 but still testing each one). On the bright side, V2 seems to have much better native anatomy and motion, so I probably won't need as many, any LoRAs. I'll edit my original comment to avoid any misinformation.

    Thank you for your awesome work!!

    MegasherruSep 11, 2026

    @selfishkingduga167 good call, I also had 2 lora's preloaded testing this myself now

    selfishkingduga167Sep 11, 2026

    @Megasherru It does seem to be a a bit of a tradeoff. After now testing without LoRAs like I should have to begin with, I agree the visual quality is much better with V1 (even without LoRAs), and in my experience V2 has better motion and anatomy without LoRAs.

    Something I've noticed in my continued testing is that V2 seems to be VERY sensitive to LoRAs overall. Basically every LoRA added degrades visual quality of the thing that LoRA is meant for. In my case, I had a penis LoRA, which when used caused slight blurriness around the penis. When I used Mystic (overall NSFW and motion, so affects pretty much everything), it causes everything to become blurry.

    Even without any additional LoRAs and only an 8 step turbo LoRA, there is some slight fuzziness, but not nearly as much. Still need to test with 0 LoRAs normal 20 step generation.

    QuietSparkSep 11, 2026

    @Darksidewalker As others described as well, my results with v2 in general are a mixed bag. Looking very good in general with many improvements, but at the same time being quite pixellated in areas with fine details and movements. Especially visible in the face and hair, e.g. POV of a woman moving in the cowgirl position.

    MysticXXX v4 piles on, degrading the visual quality, pixellating detailed areas with movements even more. Which is a shame, as this LoRA is quite useful in many aspects.

    (Results from DASIWAv18 workflow, REF2VA using pictures only. Happens with v2turbo, as well as v2+turboloRA512 at 1., MysticXXX at .3 or .4 strength / euler/simple, 8steps, 12/3)

    What's really awesome with V2turbo and your turbo-LoRA v1 is the specific improvement in audio: Excessive knocking sounds during the act and carrot cracking bj sounds are gone or very well controlled. Didn't see another turbo-LoRA yet that achieved this. And this alone is a game changer IMHO.

    selfishkingduga167Sep 12, 2026

    idk if something was actually changed or if it's a placebo, but after re-downloading the re-upload of v2, it does seem better. Still a bit fuzzy, and that fuzziness is still increased by LoRAs, but it's better.

    Conveniently enough, I just finished updating my workflow to use the Upscaler + Refine node from the "ComfyUI Minimax H3 Latent Upscaler" custom node pack by xmarre, so I decided to use Dasiwa v2 w/ 8-step turbo for the initial generation and Dasiwa v2 w/ 4-step turbo LoRA for the refinement (4 steps at 0.4 starting denoise), and it's the best I've ever gotten out of MMH3.

    Kitsune_YukinoSep 15, 2026

    It's very good that the style is not broken now. Speed ​​is a crucial factor. You've conquered slow-mo, but too much. In V2, this was completely broken. Speed ​​tags are needed, like: Slow, gradually accelerating, normal, rhythmic. Currently, only supersonic, machine-like ultra-fucking with a jackhammer is available. Some people might need it, but it should be optional, not mandatory 100% of the time. I think this is the biggest problem with V2

    Darksidewalker
    Author
    Sep 15, 2026

    @Kitsune_Yukino I did not tune anything in that way. So this must be a side effect of some motion enhancements or maybe the turbo?
    But that said, precise prompting was always needed for H3.

    Kitsune_YukinoSep 15, 2026

    @Darksidewalker Just pay attention to the generations that people do in V2 Most videos look like they are sped up 1.5x2x especially in H-scenes.
    I saw this here and I saw it myself, and I tested it with all lore completely disabled.
    I only tested FL2VA
    I know MiniMax requires more detailed prompting. But this is precisely where the model stops responding.
    Of course, it's my little job to warn you about this.

    I was very confused by the first upload of the non-distilled V2 because it's outputs were like a Q1 quant of a 2-step turbo model. Definitely wasn't up to the DaSiWa standard.

    With the reupload I've done a little A/B testing against V1 with I2VA and Ref2VA, non-distilled, and I'd definitely say V2 is much better for both SFW and NSFW. Where V1 had moments that were reminiscent of WAN meltiness, character/style/quality consistency felt spot on for V2. Not to mention the audio is improved. I find any weaknesses in NSFW stuff that I can't prompt around are usually bridged by adding MysticXXX at only 0.2-0.3 strength (vs V1 running 0.5-1.0). Not in every case, but in general LoRA strengths seem to need to be dialed down compared to what I was using on V1.

    Really glad V2 got sorted out. Thank you for blessing us with another gift.

    I wanted to ask, which one would be better: the Dasiwa Hybrid V2 or the Dasiwa Hybrid Turbo V2?

    Also, does the non-Turbo version still need to use 20 steps, like the standard version?

    Sorry, I’m still a beginner, so there’s a lot about this that I don’t fully understand yet.

    Non turbo = full steps 20-30 needed, turbo = 4-8 steps; Turbo always sacrifices quality for speed-up.

    If you compare 4-steps, might be true for some visuals, but sound actually not.
    V2 was my take to try a multistep lora for 4-8 steps, while v1 4turbo uses a dedicated 4-step turbo.
    I would not recommend 4-step usage at all, regardless of the version, tbh.
    4-step always sacrifices alot. It is more or less just for prototyping/preview.
    But you can add a dedicated 4-step lora to the non-turbo and you will get better results, I guess.

    GordetSep 12, 2026

    @Darksidewalker i don't need sound at all. And i have no idea to turn it off. Mute doesn't do it's work in your node where video combines.

    @Darksidewalker It really is a hit-or-miss issue. I ran another test comparing v1 and v2 using three identical sets of seeds. v1 consistently stays true to the face in my reference image, while v2 added an extra lower lip line in one of the runs—something that never happened with v1. Still, it's really no big deal. Overall, the model performs amazingly well, so thank you for your hard work and for sharing!

    Suri14dSep 13, 2026

    @Darksidewalker + Animations have improved

    - Video quality degraded (looks like it lacks inference steps); at 0.2–0.4 MP it's quite likely the model just gets pushed into higher resolutions where the quality scales up

    - Model LoRAs stopped working (judging by the single one that was connected)

    However, the sample size is very small (around 10 clips tested). Tested on the base ref2vid workflow using the Turbo model at 4 steps, across different steps with euler / simple .For low resolutions, v1 is better.

    @Suri14d something must be off with your setup, maybe your download got corrupted. All loras are working and I did 0.3MP tests running fine and visually stable.

    Also 4-step is not a good comparison to start with.

    The new multistep is not tuned specifically for 4-steps.

    I tried "DaSiWa Hybrid v2" and the quality is very good. But it just didn't follows the prompt at all.

    When I use it for T2V I tried this Prompt:

A radio astronomer presses an antique transmitter and says clearly (S1) <d>[English] "If you can hear me, follow this signal."</d> One brilliant blue pulse races across a translucent star map as the camera slowly pushes closer.

    If you're using the RTX SR 2x upscale function in the DaSiWa workflow you could try this:

    Open the backend, locate the DaSiWa RTX upscaler and refiner node.

    Make sure, empty_cache is set to true and use_mmap is set to false.

    I don't know why use_mmap is set to true as the standard. Maybe I dont't get right, but the descriptions sounds to me like it should be turned off by default?

    However: activating empty_cache and deactivating use_mmap stops windows from filling up my pagefile. Which is growing in tens of GB with every run otherwise, even if everything fits in VRAM/DRAM. But this specific variation seems to by my very own special bug.

    Try it, if it doesn't help, switch them back. :)

    To free up space and keep everthing in VRAM/DRAM for upscaling & interpolation, I also added a "purge_vram"-node connected to the VAE Decode node output, purging cache and models. Use at your own risk - or pleasure. ;)

I've found and downloaded some, but they don't work. I don't even know how to search for all this stuff and distinguish what's needed for which model... If anyone has any advice, thanks.

    After using it for another two days and comparing it with other fine-tuned models, DASIWA remains the most powerful; the fluidity of its audio and motion is unmatched. However, I noticed that the "turbo" version performs better than the non-turbo one—though I’m not sure if that’s due to a settings issue. In any case, I’m grateful to the author for providing this model, and I look forward to seeing even better, larger new versions in the future.

    I am trying to use this model together with your workflow. Trying to add any nsfw lora, like the breast physics, or mysticxxx, results in the target video looking as if I'm looking at it through a cross-reeded glass. What does that mean? You mentioned "No tuning for ToS-violating concepts", does that mean the model is actively sabotaging nsfw concepts when a lora tries to add them?

    A big thanks to Dasiwa"

    in the turbo v2 version, i have found bit color change and very very mild blurry nature.
    so for testing, i have added the turbo lora "minimax_h3_turbo_v4_step600_ema" non-pruned at 0.5 strength with enabled interpolation in dasiwa workflow and tested it ,
    u wont believe, outcome is fantastic with good audio (with clear voice and background sound) also with fluid video motion ,
    the best part is the rendered video is in excellent quality even at 576p in detailed without color change and brightness.

    i run it in rtx 4060ti 16gb card + 32gb ram.
    for 20 seconds video it took 12 mins (don't know the iteration is fast or not, may some will get in less than this )

    for me it works perfectly...just want to share , try it and reply whether this setup is good or not.

    Testing V2. I have a persistent issue where in the anime style the model constantly mistakes male characters for female ones—assigning them female voices and drawing female breasts ignoring the prompt and ref images with flat chest. Drawing femboys is practically unreal - it turns them into breasted girls all the time.

    Hybrid V2 Turbo works fine for Anime in Comfy. Just load the base model first, then apply LoRA. This model understands prompts deeply, even if you leave out the soundscape details, it figures it out on its own. Don't overthink and stack soundscape descriptions, it will only cause overlapping audio.

    I found some fix, there are some loras will make this model completely broken such as mystic xxx and nsfw anime lora in my case. this fixed the video detail issue, being foggy.

    then I changed latent upscaler steps to 4 and denoise to 0.05. then it fixed the issue first and last frame being pixelated.

    hope it was helpfull.

    v1 works better to me. The v1 4 step have better motion and lora compatibility while v2 can collapse when loras are added. I also notice with v2 motion on 720p is a lot more stiff than 480p. The advantage compared to v1 is that it maintains art style better. Looking forward to eventual version that have the best of both!

    I haven't been able to get a good result with V2 yet, yeah the burn in from V1 is gone, but the quality is pixelated and the motions are usually too fast with or without turbo LoRa.

    I haven't got a clue what I'm doing wrong here.

    Turbo version, normal version, low steps high steps doesn't seem to matter.

    In V1 normal version I was able to get realistic motions and high quality on even as low as 8 steps (and I never had to use LoRa's).

    Yeah I can't get any good results with V2. Only thing that gets anything close to ok is when I use zero LoRAs. Turbo version seems to not be working at all with only 8 steps. Doing side-by-side comparisons to V1 with all other settings that same V1 is always better.

    Again requesting a bf16 version to download. My use case: I'd like merge the 3-step turbo lora into the bf16, then convert the model to int8 myself (which should save a good chunk of VRAM/speed over running the LoRA).

    But this is just one example. BF16 is just more efficient to experiment with, as H3's rather large loras can be merged in pre-quantization.

    I was struggling with V2 in Comfy, but I think I've figured it out.

    My suggestion is to drag and drop the author's images made specifically with the V2 updates and build a brand new workflow. Don't just plug V2 into the model fields like I did. There are some significant changes it seems in the workflow/settings. test w/o loras, then add them in once you have some good gens.

    Also, update ComfyUI.

    Liking this one a lot so far since it seems a lot more tolerant of anime/toon reference imagery (it doesn't try to superimpose realistic body parts where they don't belong basically). It's fast as well, on par with PixAI's V4.0L, and about the same quality overall, which is great since it's no longer costing me 100,000+ credits a pop. (#^_^#)

    Still a novice with Comfy, however, and I'm sure I have much to learn, not least how to manage speech better (seem to be getting a lot of gibberish from the characters currently, even when I specify a line in a specific language). Also not sure what the NSFW limits of the model are yet, but I've already run into scenarios that the AI seems to have little clue about. (^w^)

    Okay, I'm taking your workflow for a spin now, Dark, which makes me feel like I'm looking at the wiring diagram for our battery charger from my apprenticeship days. Heh, seriously though, I've eliminated all the errors save one: the DaSiWa_SeedControl. I've installed the DaSiWa Custom Nodes Collection and it has no conflicts, plus I copied over the nodes_seed_control.py from Github, but the error persists. I noticed I can simply bypass it to remove the error, except I have no idea what that will do. (^u^)

    Probably missing something obvious, so please forgive my lack of experience since I've only been at this for a few days. Definitely want to get this working as your model is easily the most stable for anime & cartoon imagery (blowing my mind some of the stuff that's coming out, even with the basic Comfy workflow, now I understand better how the prompting works). At any rate, if you could point me in the right direction, I'd be more than grateful. (=^_^=)

    ETA: No worries! Used Copilot to narrow it down to the repo not being installed properly. Not sure why, but when you clone it directly from Github, it ends up twice the size with a lot more files than when you use the Nodes Manager in Comfy. (^_^;)
