ClayAnimation Redmond — Claymation LoRA for FLUX.2 Klein 9B

TL;DR

What this model does

This LoRA adapts FLUX.2 Klein 9B (Black Forest Labs) to generate images with a distinct clay animation aesthetic: soft volumetric forms, muted pastel palettes, visible finger-print texture, and the subtle imperfections that give stop-motion claymation its charm. The style is consistent across subjects — characters, environments, and objects all read as if sculpted from modeling clay.

The model was trained on a curated dataset of clay animation style images. GPU compute for training was sponsored by Redmond.AI.

Trigger words & usage

Add the instance prompt to your generation:

Clay animation. Clay.

The author recommends ComfyUI for best results. The weight file is distributed as a Safetensors file (~36 MB for the SD 1.5 variant; FLUX variant comparable).

Setting | Recommendation

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

Base model | black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-klein-9B LoRA weight | 0.8–1.0 (start at 1.0) Sampler | Euler a / DPM++ 2M Karras Steps | 20–30 CFG | 2.5–3.5 Resolution | 1024×1024 (native FLUX) These are starting points; FLUX models often work well at lower CFG than SDXL/SD 1.5.

FAQ

Q: Does this work with FLUX.1 dev or schnell? A: No — it was trained specifically on FLUX.2 Klein 9B. Using other FLUX variants will produce unpredictable results.

Q: Can I use this commercially? A: Yes, Apache-2.0 license allows commercial use with attribution.

Q: What's the difference between this and the Civitai SD 1.5 version? A: Different base models (FLUX.2 Klein 9B vs. SD 1.5), same clay animation concept. The FLUX version benefits from FLUX's superior prompt adherence and text rendering.
