I. Introduction

AnimaYume is a text-to-image model fine-tuned from Anima, a high-quality anime-style image generation model developed by CircleStone Labs. It builds upon , a model developed by NVIDIA’s research team.

II. Information

For version 0.4:

• This version was trained on Anima Preview 3 using a custom dataset. In this release, I improved prompt understanding and artist style. Based on my testing, some artist styles match my expectations, although I haven’t tested everything in detail since I’m currently quite busy :<. Additionally, I fixed several issues from Anima Preview 3 that also appeared in Preview 2.

• Note: I’ve only tested with simple test cases, not comprehensively, so if you encounter any issues, feel free to let me know. I also used a larger AI computing cluster to speed up the training process :D.

• All example images were generated using prompts shared by users on CivitAI, as I wanted to evaluate the model’s performance.

III. File Information

• This file contains only the diffusion model and does not include a VAE or text encoder. To use it properly, you will need to download those components from the link here

IV. Notes & Feedback

This is an experimental fine-tuned release, and I am waiting for the final version release to tune it :D Your feedback, suggestions, and creative prompt ideas are always welcome, every contribution helps make this model even better!
