Animagine XL 4.0 (Anim4gine)
Animagine XL 4.0, also stylized as Anim4gine, is the ultimate anime-themed finetuned SDXL model and the latest installment of the Animagine XL series. Despite being a continuation, the model was retrained from Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 with a massive dataset of 8.4M diverse anime-style images from various sources with the knowledge cut-off of January 7th, 2025, and finetuned for approximately 2650 GPU hours. Similar to the previous version, this model was trained using the tag ordering method for identity and style training.

Usage Guidelines
1. Prompt Structure
The model was trained with tag-based captions and the tag-ordering method. Use this structured template:
1girl/1boy/1other, character name, from which series, everything else in any order.
2. Quality Enhancement Tags
Add these tags at the start or end of your prompt:
masterpiece, high score, great score, absurdres
3. Recommended Negative Prompt
lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing finger, extra digits, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, low score, bad score, average score, signature, watermark, username, blurry
4. Optimal Settings
Setting | Recommended Value |
---|---|
CFG Scale | 5-7 (6 Recommended) |
Sampling Steps | 25-28 (25 Recommended) |
Preferred Sampler | Euler Ancestral (Euler a) |
5. Recommended Resolutions

6. Final Prompt Structure Example
masterpiece, high score, great score, absurdres, 1girl, firefly (honkai: star rail), honkai (series), honkai: star rail, casual, solo, looking at viewer, outdoors, smile, reaching towards viewer, night
Special Tags
The model supports various special tags that can be used to control different aspects of the image generation process. These tags are carefully weighted and tested to provide consistent results across different prompts.
Quality Tags
Quality tags are fundamental controls that directly influence the overall image quality and detail level.
masterpiece
best quality
low quality
worst quality
