SolarRenderer control LoRA runs on H3
Kijai has it in native nodes: a structure video plus a first frame drives the render. A possible douga → colour path.

DLE airs a "Flash×AI" TV anime Nov 7
A Japanese broadcaster openly ships hybrid Flash + AI drawing, which shows AI-assisted TV anime is becoming acceptable.
Models & papers
Quiet weekend for papers: arXiv's Monday listing wasn't out at build time and HF had none on Sat/Sun.

Hy-Nomas (Tencent)
Segment-by-segment video world model with an 8-step distill at 720p/24fps. Pedro has a native ComfyUI port that runs in 12 GB.
Why it matters for usApache-2.0 fits commercial use. Treat it as previz, not cel output.

Licon VBVR LoRA for H3 I2V
Claims less object duplication and clipping, and more logical actions. Left: base H3. Right: with the LoRA.
Why it matters for usA cheap check for merged limbs in our in-betweens.

Solar + H3: guide latents, frame-locked
Kijai: it follows the guide almost too closely and needs a first frame. Alisson plans to merge it with his motion LoRAs.
Why it matters for usFrame-aligned guides are exactly what timing-locked douga needs.

Alisson: multi-reference motion transfer
Two reference sheets plus a guide video give a swapped cast with the same motion. TARA adds temporal alignment from a smaller reference video.
Why it matters for usCharacter sheet + reference motion is the character-trainer → animation story.

Team progress
From Linear and Slack (read-only). A quiet weekend.
- Oct 23
Inbetweener QA batch (WON-2692–2699) New
Includes cleaning keyframe annotations before tweening, an art-aware binarizer, and decoupling line cleanup from binarize.
- Oct 23
Character trainings (Akira) FYI
Brave sent colour refs with poor lines; cleanup takes about 1 day. Cue may use Magic Pen for KILL BLUE S2.
- Oct 24
Five Inbetweener UX fixes (Ryo) Shipped
WON-2688/89/90/91/2701. Binarize now starts OFF.
- Oct 25
Coloured keys lose fills (WON-2705) In review
Inbetweens from colour keys came out see-through, with missing whites. Also: LTX_INBETWEEN renamed to H3 (WON-2713).
- Oct 25
Modal FFmpeg cost check (WON-2635) Done
Closed by Daniele.
- Today
WonderCanvas deploy, 10:00–11:00 JST Heads-up
App in maintenance mode during the deploy and smoke test.
Suggested experiments
Two inference-only picks. Both reuse our in-between holdout and need no training.
1
Douga → colour with SolarRenderer guides
InferenceHigh priority
With one coloured key as first frame and the douga sequence as frame-aligned guide latents, Solar control LoRA on H3 colours in-betweens with fewer fill and bleed errors than per-frame colourisation.
- Data
- 10–20 cuts from trace_douga_genga_sheet: douga sequence + 1 coloured key each (from colour LoRA/RefPen). WON-2705 colour-key cases as stress tests.
- Setup
- Native H3 nodes + solarrenderer_control_lora (and the 4-step LoRA), first-frame + guide latents. Baseline: per-frame colour LoRA.
- Compute
- Office RTX PRO 6000 or the 4090 (Claude/Codex runs it), about 1 day, no cloud spend.
- Metric
- Fill-region colour accuracy vs the key palette, line drift (binarized Chamfer vs input douga), flicker, artist A/B.
- Effort
- 2–3 days
- Fit
- Douga-to-colour / colour LoRA direction. MiniMax H3 community licence, which we already use.

2
Whole-cut multi-key H3 vs pairwise
InferenceMed priority
Putting all genga of a cut into one windowed H3 run (H3 Hybrid Keyframes) gives smoother timing and fewer pose pops at key boundaries than chaining pairwise fl2va runs.
- Data
- Cuts with ≥3 keys from the 130-shot artist-douga A/B set and trace_douga_genga_sheet. Exclude sakurai_pairs from tuning.
- Setup
- No training. Keys placed on window-overlap frames per xwsswww's tip; same SDEdit/binarize post-process as production.
- Compute
- B200 worker or office RTX PRO 6000, about 15–25 GPU-h.
- Metric
- Chamfer vs artist douga at boundary frames, cadence metric, A/B win/tie ≥50%, credits per cut vs N pairs.
- Effort
- 3 days
- Fit
- Improved in-betweener direction; complements the earlier tween-LoRA idea, which needs training.
Motivated by
⚠ Data gaps & assumptions
- No finished-colour ground truth for douga sequences is confirmed; without it, #1 relies on palette checks and artist A/B.
- Unknown how many A/B cuts have ≥3 keys; count before booking GPU time.
- Solar was trained on 136k live-action/game samples; line-art behaviour is untested.
- Leakage: keep Sakurai test files (copies of Akita Tsumugi Dai7) out of any tuning.
- Client data (Cue, Brave, Grom, Studio Betta) isn't usable yet.

How this edition was gathered.
Source status and notes
| Banodoco (Hivemind) | Worked | 4,134 messages via PostgREST; 7 attachments refreshed; daily_summaries still dead |
| X | Worked | Recent search + news; JP searches skew to backlash and self-promo |
| Partial | RSS t=week filtered to the window; r/aivideo and r/MachineLearning needed a retry (429); single-post RSS for the 4090 thread came back empty | |
| HF / arXiv | Partial | HF daily papers had none on Sat/Sun; arXiv Monday listing not out yet (still Friday's) |
| Industry news | Worked | EN + JP (PR TIMES, Anime!Anime!, ANN, Watagee) |
| Linear, Slack | Worked | Read-only; nothing changed |
- Window starts where No. 1 ended (Oct 23 14:50 JST), so Friday-morning items aren't repeated.
- All media are real source assets. Banodoco attachments were refreshed via Hivemind and embedded, not hotlinked.
- Skipped as repeats from No. 1: SPEED EFFECT feature, Animating on Twos, FlashVSR+, MOSS hi-res LoRA, Felix Film, MAPPA.
- Licence flags: Qwen-Image 2.1 and its LoRAs are qwen-research; Hy-Nomas is Apache-2.0; Hi3D requires branding and has a USD 1M/month revenue trigger.
