This is based on the initial full release of <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2458426/anima">Anima base-v1.0</a> model, so the same licensing and permissions applies. As usual with all of my checkpoint models, I try to make them more male focused, specifically with <em>bara </em>body types. But you can still get <em>twink </em>and <em>bishounen </em>characters with the right prompts.</p><p></p><p>And for people who are new to Anima models, the prompting is pretty similar to Illustrious XL and NoobAI models. The main difference is Anima is better at handling natural language prompting than ILXL/NAI (see examples). It also uses primarily <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://danbooru.donmai.us/">Danbooru </a>and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://gelbooru.com/">Gelbooru</a>-style tags. Unlike NoobAI models, they don't use <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://e621.net/">e621</a> datasets, so their tags don't work. Artist style tags works similarly to ILXL/NAI models, but you have to add @ in front of the artist name. So instead of <em>dizdoodz</em>, it has to be @dizdoodz. Character tags work the same way with ILXL/NAI.</p><p></p><p>As I have mentioned earlier, this is my first attempt, so I'm still very inexperienced with Anima. If you encounter any issue I welcome any feedback and I will attempt to improve and refine them in future updates.</p><p></p><p></p><h3 id="tips-and-usage"><strong>Tips and Usage</strong></h3><p>Unless you're using Civitai's generator, you'll need either <span style="color:rgb(76, 110, 245)"><strong>ComfyUI </strong></span>or <span style="color:rgb(76, 110, 245)"><strong>ForgeNeo </strong></span>to run it.
