From rigged Maya characters to SDXL LoRAs: full pipeline with 47 auto-poses and 2000 renders
tishuri · reddit · 2026-11-15
A 3D/VFX pipeline developer shares a workflow turning rigged characters into SDXL LoRAs: a Maya tool auto-poses the rig into 47 poses, renders 2000 images via Arnold, selects 1000 balanced shots with auto-captions from scene data, trains in Kohya on SDXL 1.0, generates via ComfyUI presets, and evaluates with a fixed 12-prompt × 2-seed set. Identity transfers strongly; pose rules and a color-management gotcha (raw linear PNGs) mattered a lot. Unsolved: pants turn into shorts/skirts in sitting poses — SDXL's prior seems to beat the LoRA, and they ask whether to caption outfits or tune rank/LR.
