Ugh, another post teaching people how to use ControlNet + LoRA to lock in poses for generating images.

Tencent News just pushed an article about using ControlNet with LoRA to generate realistic portraits in specific poses, and it even had a video. Honestly, this combo is super common when taking commissions—client gives you a pose reference, and prompts alone just can’t nail it down.

You gotta lock the skeleton with ControlNet, then let LoRA handle the style and character consistency.

Tutorials are everywhere, but the real pain is the details—hands and transition points always mess up. Any fellow artists wanna share their stable pose workflow? Let’s swap tips.

Yeah, OpenPose locking the skeleton is way more reliable than relying on pure prompts.

Hands are still a huge pain, out of ten gens, three are trash.

Stacking too many LoRAs makes them bleed into each other, gotta keep the weights in check.

Realistic portraits are way too demanding when it comes to lighting and shadows.

Most of these tutorials are just clickbait, I’ll check the video first.

Front row watching.
