Nice. I need to go check them out again. I really liked their original Retro Diffusion models but this a while back in the SDXL days. It felt like it was trained on more natural language, so prompting it was quite nice for that era.

But if they’ve been working on it specifically for animation, that’s pretty neat.

They have a few different specialized models now and have put a lot of work into generating sprite sheet animations. The latest thing is a pipeline for ensuring pixel perfect results that also look good stylistically.
