    A LoRA for Flux that controls sun elevation and rotation angle in exterior scenes using a rendered sphere as a lighting reference image. Builders who need consistent, directable natural lighting across multiple outdoor shots may find the image-to-image workflow useful, particularly since a companion ComfyUI node handles sphere rendering directly in the pipeline.

    Satori converts HTML and CSS (including JSX) into SVG, making it straightforward to generate static images programmatically from web-familiar syntax. Builders working on OpenGraph image generation or dynamic social cards will find it particularly useful, as it handles layout and styling without requiring a headless browser.

    A depth-conditioned LoRA adapter for Krea-2 that extracts a depth map from an input image using Depth-Anything-V2 and generates new content while preserving the original 3D structure, achieving a Pearson correlation of 0.98-0.99 between input and output depth. At 862MB with the base model kept frozen, it offers a relatively lightweight path to structural control for builders already working within the Krea-2 ecosystem.

    **waooAI/waoowaoo** — A TypeScript platform for AI-driven film and video production that covers the full pipeline from storyboarding through final output, with support for short-form drama and live-action formats. Builders working on controllable video generation workflows may find the agent-based architecture useful as a reference for structuring multi-step production automation.

    A GGUF-quantized version of Krea's 12-billion-parameter diffusion transformer, packaged for local inference via diffusers. Builders who want to run the Turbo checkpoint on constrained hardware without losing access to the growing Krea-2 LoRA ecosystem have a ready path here.
