WarmAni 30 gives a clear anime read (alpha = 0.30) on top of the warm base: cel-like shading with warm light and rich colour.[Recipe] Add-difference merge on UNet only: Nova Anime XL IL v19.0 + 0.30 x (Nova Orange XL REX v1.0 - Nova Reality XL IL v9.0). VAE and text encoders inherited from the base model; fp16 safetensors, no baked LoRA.[Why this direction] This batch flips the usual direction: the base is Nova Orange (a warm, colourful model) and the difference is Nova Anime minus Nova Reality. That delta carries anime drawing, linework and cel shading, so the warm base gains an anime read instead of losing its colour.[Series] WarmAni IL runs the same delta at four strengths: 10 / 20 / 30 / 40. 10 keeps the warm photo-ish look with a hint of anime, 30 is a warm anime hybrid, 40 is the strongest anime conversion while the warm palette survives.[Recommended settings] Euler a, 24-28 steps, CFG 5.0-5.5, 832x1216. Hires fix above 1.25x helps skin and fabric; Danbooru-style tags work well.[Known limitations] Because the base is warm and colourful, skin can go orange at higher strengths; white balance is best set explicitly. Not a replacement for a neutral anime base.
