Anima Artist Recipe (Save)

Sharing an Anima mix used to mean screenshotting seven different widgets and hoping your friend rebuilt them right. AnimaArtistRecipeSave collapses the whole thing into one JSON string: your artist chain plus the full effective configuration - combine mode, fusion mode, strength, and the advanced options - so an exact mix is one paste instead of a reconstruction project.

What you put in

• artist_chain - the chain to embed (weights, @layers, %timing all preserved).
• combine_mode - concat / output_avg / lowrank_avg.
• fusion_mode - interpolate / concat_with_base / base_preserve.
• strength - 0–4, the injection strength.
• notes - optional free-form text stored inside the recipe. Worth using; three weeks from now you will not remember why you set strength to 1.7.
• advanced_options and preset - optional; if you connected a preset or expert options, they get folded into the recipe too.

What comes out

One output: recipe_json - the full recipe as a STRING. Copy it, send it, drop it in a comment.

Install

Manager → search "Anima Artist Mixer Forge", or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/peter119lee/Anima-Artist-Mixer-Forge

then restart. No extra dependencies. If the original Anima-Artist-Mixer is installed, remove it first (duplicate node names).

My take

This is a "future you" node as much as a sharing node. Recipes are the pack's save-file format, and the matching AnimaArtistRecipeLoad turns the JSON back into an artist_chain plus a preset payload you wire straight into AnimaArtistPresetApply. If you have a mix you're proud of, save the recipe alongside the image - it's the difference between "I made this, somehow" and "I can reproduce this exactly." My one bit of advice: always use the notes field. A recipe without a note is a puzzle; with one, it's documentation.
