    1980s Action Cartoon Style - alpha
    NSFW
    • The 1.0 version is recommended and was trained on a larger, revised dataset with adjusted descriptions and all clips under 5 seconds (The training limit.) It is currently at 10,000 steps, 10 epochs.

    • The Alpha version was the first one done, with fewer clips & clips longer than the training limit. It only made it to about 5000 steps.

    • Version Test is a 15 epoch, 15,000 step version, which may be overcooked but some people might want to play with it.

    This is meant to replicate the look of 1980s action-adventure cartoons in the TOEI/Sunbow Productions/Rankin Bass comic book-derived style that was popular in toy-toons of the time.

    I consider Filmation and 1980s girl-aimed toy-toons stylistically unique enough they'd need their own LORAs (you want 'em? I need buzz.)

    PROMPTING GUIDE: 80sAdvToonStyle

    The first line in each dataset entry contains "A scene from" followed by

    • Series name* and date in this format: Series Name (198_)
      if you want it to be like an opening scene, follow the date with the word opener. It may be advantageous to leave this off unless you want a specific series/year look.

    • Either High Quality Animation or Standard Quality Animation, if its extra good, add sakuga animation after High Quality Animation.

    • The type of scene, this includes: dialog scene, establishing shot, character introduction scene, action scene, transformation sequence, armor-up sequence, vehicle scene, teleport-in effect, teleport-out effect. Combine as needed.

    • Either VHS Quality or DVD Quality

    Examples:

    • A scene from Centurions (1986), high quality animation. establishing shot. DVD quality.

    • A scene from Dinosaucers (1987), standard quality animation, wide shot, dialog scene. VHS quality.

    • A scene from Transformers (1984), standard quality animation. Dialog Scene. Medium Shot. DVD quality.

    After that there's a description of what you want the action to be, and an end summary paragraph going over any specific style touches.

    Character names and simple descriptions (names are typically in all caps), dialog, and

    Dialog is in this format in the dataset:

    • CHARACTER (vocal directions): "Dialog!"

    I never knew something like this existed, but now I do. And knowing is half the battle, Joe!

    Is this just a style change or are any of the characters from those cartoons learned in the model?

    Most of the characters used in the dataset are tagged, but are unlikely to be in there enough for clean replication. I'm going to cook it more when the trainer actually works again.

    @TheRobotMonster Since you've released this next version (thanks for that) do you mind sharing a list of the characters included?

    @Rosettasees I don't have a full character list, I couldn't use an autotagger to track, but there's about 30 Dinosaucers clips, 15 from Pryde of the X-Men, 25ish from Thundercats, 9 from Jayce (opener mainly), 5 Galaxy Rangers (also opener), 40ish TF, 33 from Joe, 14 TMNT, 13 RGB, 25 Centurions, about 20ish for MASK. It's a style LORA, not really meant to produce exact characters.

    I like the Dinosaucers pics. Genghis Rex has that gigachad chin.

    OMG so good, please more 80s-90s specific cartoon styles!

    Your H3 lora is stuck in Unverified, without checksum, StabilityMatrix, Custom Lora Manager nodes have a hard time managing it.

    PS: It works great for local gen.

    Worked.

    I heard the Dinosaucers theme song in my head the instant I saw the first sample.
