Abstract

Anime hair design is crucial but challenging, as it conveys personality and emotion through stylized geometry and layered structure. In this work, we propose a sketch-guided approach for intuitive control of multimodal diffusion transformers (MMDiT) to generate semantically consistent anime hairstyles. We adopt a wisp-level flowline input integrated with a fine-tuned MMDiT to transfer hairstyles while preserving character identity. We believe that this fine-grained sketch control within the MMDiT framework may offer a promising path for structured anime hair editing.
