    Felt Stop-Motion Style - H3 V01
    NSFW

    Overview

    This is my very first LoRA trained on MiniMax Hailuo 03 (H3)! For my debut release, I chose an accessible yet visually captivating aesthetic: Felt Stop-Motion Style.

    By transforming scenes and characters into handcrafted wool felt textures paired with the deliberate, tactile cadence of stop-motion animation, this LoRA delivers a whimsical, uncanny, and heartwarming visual experience. Every frame emphasizes fiber fuzz, soft needle-felted contours, and subtle imperfections that make the subject feel physically sculpted and animated frame-by-frame on a miniature tabletop set.

    Visual Characteristics

    • Fiber & Material Detail: Distinct felted wool fibers, soft fabric sheen, and authentic craft textures.

    • Stop-Motion Motion Profile: Low-framerate, tactile, slightly jittery micro-movements characteristic of armature puppet animation.

    • Art Direction: Warm studio lighting, shallow depth of field (macro lens feel), and an organic, artisanal atmosphere.

    • Trigger Words / Key Descriptors: felt stopmotion style, needle felted, wool texture, stop motion animation, claymation aesthetic, macro tabletop photography

    • LoRA Weight: 0.7 – 0.9 (Start at 0.8 for a balanced look; push to 1.0 for heavy wool texture and pronounced stop-motion cadence)

    • Prompt Example:

      "A tiny felt rabbit hopping across a mossy wooden table, needle felted wool texture, stop-motion animation style, macro lens, soft studio rim lighting, 4k detail"

    Creator’s Note

    Since this is my experimental first run on the H3 architecture, I would love to see how you push its limits! Feedback, generation tests, and video showcases are warmly welcomed. Have fun crafting your own felted worlds!

    Description

    This model was trained across 3,500 total steps. The core felt aesthetic began to crystallize early on around Epoch 3, with Epochs 5 through 8 proving to be the sweet spot across all test generations. Ultimately, Epoch 6 was selected as the final release checkpoint, striking the ideal sweet spot between distinct wool-felt fiber details and prompt responsiveness.

    Wrong Checksum (SHA256). StabilityMatrix, and other loras manager fail on it.

    Thanks for pointing this out! This LoRA was trained directly on Civitai. Right before publishing, I was torn between Epoch 6 and Epoch 7. I suspect what happened was a site bug: I had originally prepped Epoch 6, then backed out to switch to Epoch 7, which left the lingering Epoch 6 hash/metadata on the draft page while actually attaching Epoch 7.

    My quick-and-dirty fix was simply deleting the Epoch 7 file and re-uploading Epoch 6, and now everything is working properly and syncing fine. Well, typical Civitai quirks—it wouldn't be Civitai without a few bugs! Both epochs performed exceptionally well in my benchmark tests anyway, so you won’t notice any drop in visual quality. Happy generating!

    Great job! Is like I found a new toy, I can't stop playing with it. I've always been a big fan of stop-motion animation.
