MeinaMix

Anime art generation

Create anime-style images with minimal prompting, relying on the model to handle the heavy lifting.

2D illustration work

Produce flat, stylized 2D illustrations across various subjects.

Portrait creation

Generate character portraits, with guidance on resolutions like 512×768 or 512×1024.

Landscape and scenery

Use the model for environment art, with version-specific improvements in lighting and dark scenes.

Semi-realistic art

Blend anime and realistic styles, especially in V5 and later versions that support 2.5D and near-realistic output.

Learning prompt craft

Beginners can practice prompt writing because the model performs well even with short prompts.

Short-prompt performance

The model is tuned to deliver good art even when your prompt is brief, reducing the need for extensive prompt engineering.

Version selection

Choose from public milestones like V5, V7, V11, and V12 Final to match your preferred style and output characteristics.

Free Meina series

Published under CreativeML Open RAIL-M, with the author stating the Meina series will remain free.

Local tool support

Run the weights in Automatic1111, Forge, or ComfyUI for full control over generation.

Clip Skip 2 guidance

Author habits include Clip Skip 2 and enabling K sampler quantization where available.

Recommended sampler settings

Use DPM++ SDE Karras 20–30, DPM++ 2M Karras 20–60, or Euler a 40–60, with CFG around 4–9.

Hires.Fix support

For distant faces, the guide recommends Hires.Fix with models like R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B.

Version-specific improvements

V7 improved hands, dark scenes, lighting, camera angles, and detail; V11 reduced overly dark outputs and improved faces/eyes without hires.
