BASE-ONLY RELEASE — trained and validated specifically for Anima-Base v1.0. This is not an Anima-family universal model. Anima-Aesthetic, Anima-Turbo, and other derivatives are not validated or supported.
>
> A hand-pose ControlNet-LLLite for Anima-Base v1.0. It takes a standard Easy-DWPose/OpenPose hand-only condition image with 21 keypoints per hand and constrains hand placement, orientation, joint topology, finger count, and gesture structure before sampling. It is not a LoRA and does not use inpainting.
>
> Training data: 4,000 high-quality anime image/keypoint pairs: 3,272 single-hand and 728 two-hand samples.
>
> Install: place the file in ComfyUI/models/controlnet/Anima-LLLite/. Install ComfyUI-Anima-LLLite and use Apply Anima ControlNet-LLLite (sd-scripts) AnimaLLLiteApply_sdscripts).
>
> Recommended starting settings: strength 1.2, start 0.0, end 1.0, preserve_wrapper true; 30–40 steps, CFG 4, er_sde/simple, denoise 1.0. Use a black-background, standard colored hand skeleton with white joints, matching the target canvas aspect ratio. Explicitly describe the intended hand count and gesture in the positive prompt.
>
> Validation: in a fixed six-pose cloud ComfyUI test, exact hand count improved from 16.7% without LLLite to 83.3% with v1.0 at strength 1.2; NME improved from 1.148 to 0.224 and [email protected] from 0.020 to 0.536. Later v1.2/v1.3 candidates did not reliably outperform v1.0 across three independent blind evaluations, so v1.0 remains the stable release.
>
> Limitations: this model does not guarantee perfect anatomy in every seed. Extreme perspective, crossing hands, severe occlusion, complex object interaction, and three or more hands remain difficult. It constrains 21-point structure, not pixel-level nails, skin folds, or occlusion edges.
