Prerequisites

To get started with the Animagine XL V4 Opt actions, you'll need a Cognitive Actions API key and a basic understanding of making API calls.

Generate Custom Image using Animagine-XL-v4-Opt

The primary action of Animagine XL V4 Opt is to generate custom images using the powerful Animagine-XL-v4-Opt model. This action allows for extensive customization through various parameters, enabling developers to create images that meet specific artistic and functional needs.

Purpose

This action solves the problem of generating unique images quickly and efficiently, allowing users to specify not just the content of the image but also its style, dimensions, and other attributes.

Input Requirements

The input for this action is structured as a JSON object, with several key parameters:

  • seed (integer): Determines the randomness of the image generation. Use -1 for a random seed.
  • model (string): Specifies the model to be used, which is "Animagine-XL-v4-Opt".
  • steps (integer): The number of steps in the generation process, ranging from 1 to 100.
  • width (integer) & height (integer): Define the dimensions of the output image in pixels (1 to 4096).
  • prompt (string): The main text prompt that guides the image generation.
  • scheduler (string): Chooses the scheduling method for generation.
  • clipLayerSkip (integer): Number of CLIP layers to skip during processing.
  • imageBatchSize (integer): The number of images to generate in a single batch (1-4).
  • cfgAttentionScale (number): Controls how closely the model adheres to the prompt (1 to 50).
  • pagAttentionScale (number): Adjusts image quality similarly to CFG scale.
  • negativeImagePrompt (string): Excludes specified elements from the image.
  • guidanceNoiseRescale (number): Prevents overexposure by adjusting noise levels.
  • prependImagePreprompt (boolean): Automatically prepends a default preprompt for enhanced quality.
  • variationalAutoEncoder (string): Chooses the VAE model to apply.

Expected Output

The expected output is a URL linking to the generated image, allowing for easy access and integration into your projects.
