comfyui

Something positive? Anatomy is VERY good. Other things too.

I'm not talking about NSFW, that has to come from the community as usual. I'm talking arms, hands, legs, people in close interactions and so on.

This model, coming completely out of the blue, it is VERY good at anatomy. Even in complex multi people scenes with multiple interactions, where Flux.2 Klein 4b and 9b and even dev may make already a mess, i've only see a messed up arm once or twice (using mostly the editing model) . Hands even in fairly complex situations are mostly alright. And in simpler situations they are always alright. Weird clothing glitches and alike are also rare.

This is well beyond Flux Klein4b and even 9b in Anatomy, (but MILES off them in image quality!). Not to mention Ernie image, which couldn't make a correct person just standing there. Also Boogu is NOT extremely biased towards making people look chinese. It feels much more versatile and flexible.

All of that with the caveat that it needs a zit image upscaler (template in comfyui) to fix the glaring texture and (Lizard) skin weakness. But Z-image upscale/improve works a charm as so often.
Why not just use Z-Image Turbo? Boogu seems to be better with Text, Better with Variety (use the base model+lora), It may not look as photo realistic, but it feels more capable in handling and following complicated prompts. Even with many moving parts+text it gets things usually right.

So despite the big image quality issues, this is a good base! With that qualifier of needing some postprocessing, this Boogu (0.1!) is definitely the best recent model (Ernie, HidreamO1, Longcat image). The editing version is not brilliant at keeping people or styles or clothes identical, often it is more of a approximation. But it can handle very complex multi person prompts with text and stuff, very well. And it doesn't need short story as prompt!

I hope they keep at it, fixing the low texture and skin quality, improve the persistence from the editing model. But this is actually promising, now That Qwen image 2 for example has moved behind the paywall.
