Redditor builds a 5-part Anima guide after finding all existing tutorials "genuinely sucked"
shapic · reddit · 2026-09-28
A reddit user, frustrated that existing Anima model guides were bad or even misleading (partly because AI assistants hallucinate heavily about it), wrote a full beginner-oriented tutorial series covering the community's pony/illustrious/danbooru background.
- Part 1: model intro and current competitive landscape
- Part 2: UI options, setting up Forge Neo, and speed optimizations
- Part 3: generation parameters for different modes
- Part 4: prompting, and why AI assistants are so bad at it
- Part 5: img2img and inpainting, with the author's own findings on upscaling plus a YouTube timelapse
The post links to the full collection and includes sample images generated with the base model.
