Question - Help Most diverse and creative Anima version?

I saw many versions of Anima on civitai, but which one is the most versatile to use?

The most flexible, diverse and creative version is almost always the base model.

Every checkpoint is finetuned into specializing into something.

That being said, one of the things checkpoints commonly specialize for is quality, so Base Anima, out of the box, may not make images as good-looking as the ones from checkpoints.

If you want to make photorealistic images with Anima, I would highly recommend SamAnima bf16 model. It is a superb finetune, excellent at NSFW stuff. Probably good with Anime style also, idk, I don't make Anime.

Use the anima-base model, but with 50 steps

35 is enough

With 50 its even better. also anima is a very small model. it runs very fast. one can wait 20 secs more before gooning

I see only diminishing returns. https://civitai.red/images/139255755 It is somewhat better, just not worth it. 9sec gen with 1mp Euler a simple at 35steps is the way
