Ideogram V4, an open-weight model released back in June can also do this [1], but you have to use a relatively cumbersome JSON structure to describe all the different bounding boxes. So it’s definitely a bit of a hassle.
I'll probably be waiting until it goes open-weight (hopefully soon) like they did with Flux.2 / Klein.

It's one of the most uniquely hostile user experiences I've ever had the (dis)pleasure of working with
From where I'm sitting, it's just turning python functions into boxes and instead of write the function yourself, you drag from the output of one box to the input of another. For 2 or 3 boxes, this is cool, but I opened up a professional workflow and was taken into a view with 100s of boxes and wires all over the place. Uhh, ok?
For myself, I'd rather just create my own python environment, write some quick pytorch or mlx calls, wire up some cli to it and share that in a GitHub.

I don't know what went into making it, but their twitter is @araminta_k if you're curious

## Quick Start
An (apparently, as I haven't tried it) ready-to-go ComfyUI graph for the above. In theory you should be able to drop these into ComfyUI and have it work:

Generate a sprite in an image editor, then use a video model to make the loop you want; then turn the resulting video back into individual sprite images.
I can still get absolutely insane results with MiniMax H3 - insane in the sense that it would not make sense at all and would make your head spin.
Chats can be awful user interfaces.
The website mentions:
> FLUX 3 Image is available under a commercial weights license for companies running image generation at scale. Fine-tune and deploy it on your own infrastructure. Reach out to us to learn more.
I guess the open ones would be non-commercial?
"Open Weights version of FLUX 3 Image is launching in the coming weeks."
What's new from the last post? GA?
> We will open up an early access phase for FLUX 3 Image in the following weeks.
Not sure if there was a separate post for early access or if they just skipped to this.
How is this not clear?
Exact prompt:
Generate a photorealistic image of M81 urban BDU camouflage cargo trousers, shown by themselves. One trouser leg should be posed with the knee lifted 30° from vertical.
Accurate reproduction of the M81 urban camouflage pattern is critical. Match its colors, shapes, scale, distribution, and overall appearance as faithfully as possible.
No person, other clothing, or props.

Flux 3 gets greyscale urban-ish trousers and a lifted knee, but the blotches aren’t real M81 Urban — softer / wrong geometry vs the swatch. Not the worst I’ve seen on this prompt; clearly behind the Gemini 3 Pro Image example above on pattern.
Curious what other models do on the same prompt.
Flux is in the top 9000 of the most common words.
