Clay Animation LoRA for SD 1.5

ClayAnimationRedmond 1.5 is a style LoRA by ArtificialGuyBR that gives Stable Diffusion 1.5 the look of clay animation (claymation) in a single lightweight file.

• One trigger phrase: add Clay Animation to any prompt to switch the style.
• Trained on runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5, so it fits existing SD 1.5 workflows unchanged.
• Works with standard LoRA loaders in ComfyUI, Automatic1111, and diffusers.

What the model does

The LoRA applies a molded-clay, stop-motion aesthetic to whatever subject you describe. The official examples on the model card cover people, animals, and scenes: a cute blonde girl, a cat wearing sunglasses, an elephant, a chicken, a boy at the beach, a creepy clown in a dark miniature scene, and a Donald Trump portrait. The style holds across character types, so it is not locked to a single subject.

Trigger words and prompt format

The model card defines a single instance prompt: Clay Animation.

Official example prompts follow a simple pattern: describe the subject first, then append the phrase. The examples pair Clay Animation with the token Clay (for example, A cute blonde girl, Clay Animation, Clay), which reinforces the style. One example weights it more strongly with emphasis syntax: (((Clay Animation, Clay))).

Practical starting prompts:

• A cute blonde girl, Clay Animation, Clay
• A cat wearing sunglasses, portrait, Clay Animation, Clay
• A elephant, Clay Animation, Clay (from the official gallery)

How to use it

The model is a LoRA for Stable Diffusion 1.5, so loading it is the same as any other SD 1.5 LoRA:

• ComfyUI: add a Load LoRA node between the checkpoint and the CLIP Text Encode, and put the .safetensors file in your LoRA folder.
• Automatic1111: drop the file in models/Lora, press the LoRA icon next to the prompt field, and it inserts the activation tag.
• diffusers: load with DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(..., torch_dtype=torch.float16) and call pipe.load_lora_weights() on the adapter weights.

The model card publishes no recommended LoRA weight, steps, or CFG scale, so start from your regular SD 1.5 settings and tune the LoRA strength up or down until the clay look sits where you want it. Because it is a style LoRA, it pairs with other SD 1.5 content LoRAs if you want a specific subject plus the clay finish.

Common errors and fixes

Error | Cause | Fix | Source

|---|---|---|---

Output looks like plain SD 1.5, no clay style | Trigger phrase missing or spelled wrong | Add Clay Animation (plus Clay) at the end of the prompt | Model card instance prompt Weak effect even with trigger | LoRA weight too low | Raise the LoRA strength in your loader, or emphasize the phrase with (((Clay Animation, Clay))) | Official example prompting Model does not load in image generation | Using it with a non-SD-1.5 checkpoint | This LoRA targets runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5; use an SD 1.5 checkpoint | Model card base model Expected a full model, found no diffusers weights | It is a LoRA, not a standalone model | Load it as an adapter on top of SD 1.5 | HF repo structure

FAQ

Is this a full model or an adapter? It is a LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) for Stable Diffusion 1.5, distributed on Hugging Face and loadable as adapter weights.

What is the trigger word? Clay Animation is the instance prompt. The official examples also add Clay for reinforcement.

What can it render besides the gallery subjects? The style is subject-agnostic. Any object, person, animal, or scene you describe should pick up the claymation treatment, since the LoRA modifies style rather than a single character.

What license is it under? The Bespoke LoRA Trained license: derivatives allowed, commercial use under a rent model, credit not required.

Does it work in ComfyUI? Yes, as a standard LoRA node feeding a Stable Diffusion 1.5 checkpoint.
