AniVivid 20 is the safe everyday setting (alpha = 0.20): colour lands firmly without drifting into oversaturation, and skin tones stay believable.[Recipe] Add-difference merge on UNet only: Nova Anime XL IL v19.0 + 0.20 x (Nova Orange XL REX v1.0 - Nova Reality XL IL v9.0). VAE and text encoders inherited from the base model; fp16 safetensors, no baked LoRA.[Why this direction] Subtracting Nova Reality (a realistic IL base) from Nova Orange yields a colour-and-warmth delta: richer saturation, warmer skin, deeper shadows. Adding a fraction of that delta to Nova Anime raises colour depth without replacing the anime structure, linework or prompt behaviour. This is a colour dial, not a style swap.[Series] AniVivid IL uses one base and one direction at four strengths: 15 / 20 / 30 / 45. 15-20 stay close to stock Nova Anime, 30 is a clear vivid read, 45 is the strongest lift that still holds together. Alpha 0.60 was tested and rejected for red-eye and colour blocking, so it is not released.[Recommended settings] Euler a, 24-28 steps, CFG 5.0-5.5, 832x1216. Hires fix above 1.25x helps skin and fabric; Danbooru-style tags work well.[Known limitations] At 45 the palette can clip on saturated reds and heavy neon; hands and two-person prompts still need the usual care.
