| # Anima Turbo — anime generation + LLLite inpainting |
|
|
| A 4B anime-native turbo model — **≈6 s per 1024² image** on an RTX 5090 at 10 |
| steps, with a ControlNet-LLLite inpainting patch for masked edits. |
|
|
| > **What this repo is:** the Anima Turbo denoiser, the LLLite inpainting |
| > patch, a Qwen3-0.6B text encoder and the Qwen-Image VAE — weights only, not |
| > a retrain. The settings below are the values these weights are actually run |
| > with day to day. |

| ## Samples |
|
|
| Anime is what this model is for — these are 10-step, guidance 1.0 renders. |

| ## Inpainting (`img2img` + mask) |
|
|
| `img2img` on this model is **masked inpainting through the LLLite patch**, not |
| strength-based restyling. Supply the source image, a white-on-black mask of the |
| region to change, and a full prompt describing the desired result. |
|
|
| <table> |
| <tr><td><img src="https://huggingface.co/ChrisColeTech/Anima-turbo/resolve/main/samples/inpaint-source.png" width="250" alt="source image"></td><td><img src="https://huggingface.co/ChrisColeTech/Anima-turbo/resolve/main/samples/inpaint-mask.png" width="250" alt="mask over head and torso"></td><td><img src="https://huggingface.co/ChrisColeTech/Anima-turbo/resolve/main/samples/inpaint-red.png" width="250" alt="inpainted result"></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><sub>**source** — the meadow render above, seed 21</sub></td><td><sub>**mask** — ellipse over head and torso; white = repaint</sub></td><td><sub>**result** — prompt changed to `…a young woman with vivid red hair…`, seed 43. Hair tone, eyes and bodice change; the meadow, pose, dress and framing are untouched.</sub></td></tr> |
| </table> |
|
|
| ### What inpainting does and does not do here |
|
|
| - **Recolouring and restyling inside the mask works well** — hair colour, eye |
| colour, garment detail. Everything outside the mask is preserved exactly. |
| - **Adding new objects is unreliable.** `wearing a wide straw sun hat` on the |
| same mask produced no hat, only a slight expression change. LLLite is a |
| control patch conditioning an existing composition, not an instruction |
| editor — write the *whole scene* as you want it, and expect changes in the |
| masked region to stay close to the underlying shapes. |
| - **Without a mask, `img2img` is effectively a no-op** — the control signal |
| reproduces the input. Style-transfer prompts return the source image |
| unchanged. If nothing is changing, check that a mask was actually sent. |
|
|
| ## Recommended settings |
|
|
| Values this build is run with in practice. |
|
|
| | Parameter | Production value | Meaning | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | `width` | `1024` | Output width in pixels | |
| | `height` | `1024` | Output height in pixels | |
| | `steps` | `10` | Denoising steps | |
| | `guidance` | `1.0` | Distilled — CFG is not used | |
| | `shift` | `3.0` | Flow-matching timestep shift | |
| | `strength` | `1.0` | **LLLite control** strength (not denoise strength) | |
| | `start_percent` / `end_percent` | `0.0` / `1.0` | Fraction of the schedule the control patch is active for | |
|
|
| **Supported modes:** `txt2img`, `img2img` (masked inpainting) |
|
|
| ### Notes and gotchas |
|
|
| - **`strength` here is ControlNet conditioning strength**, not img2img denoise |
| strength — it scales how hard the LLLite patch holds the source, and the |
| engine also accepts it as `control_strength`. Lower it to let the masked |
| region drift further from the original. |
| - **Quality tags matter.** This model responds strongly to booru-style |
| prefixes (`masterpiece, best quality, anime illustration, …`); without them |
| output drifts toward generic digital painting. |
| - **Photographic prompts are off-domain.** Asking for a `studio photograph` |
| yields painterly, illustration-inflected results — use a photo model for |
| that and this one for anime. |
| - ≈5.4 GB VRAM resident at 1024². Generation is fast enough (≈6 s) that |
| iterating on prompts is interactive. |

| ## Layout |
|
|
| Components ship as separate files: the denoiser, the LLLite inpainting patch |
| under `split/model_patches/`, the Qwen3-0.6B text encoder, and the VAE. Any |
| loader that accepts explicit per-component paths and can apply a ControlNet- |
| LLLite patch can consume this directly. |

| ## Provenance |
|
|
| - **Upstream base model:** Anima Turbo v1.0 (anime-specialised, Qwen-Image family architecture) |
| - **This build:** redistributed with the inpainting patch, encoder and VAE alongside. Weights are not retrained here. |
| - **License:** left as `unknown` in this repo's metadata. Refer to the upstream model's license for redistribution and commercial-use terms. |
