RefControl FLUX.2 Klein 4B - Reference Depth LoRA

📝 Short description

A LoRA for FLUX.2 Klein 4B Base that fuses a reference image (left) with a depth map (right).
It preserves identity and style from the reference while following the pose and structure from the depth map.

📊 Examples

📖 Extended description

This LoRA was primarily trained on humans, but it also works with objects and stylized characters.
Its main purpose is to preserve identity - facial features, clothing, style, or object characteristics - from the reference image, while adapting the subject to the pose and composition defined by the depth map.

Part of the RefControl family: reference + control fusion for consistent, controllable generation on FLUX.2 Klein 4B Base.

⚙️ How to use

1. Use first image as depth reference, second image input.

2. Add the trigger word refcontrol in your prompt.

3. Adjust LoRA weight (recommended 0.8-1.0) depending on how strongly you want to preserve identity.

Base model

Use with black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-klein-base-4B.
The undistilled Base variant is intended for LoRA training and custom pipelines (~50 inference steps, guidance_scale ~4.0).

🎯 What it does

• Preserves character or object identity across generations.

• Embeds the subject into a new pose or scene defined by the depth map.

• Works best when the depth map has similar proportions and scale to the reference.

---

⚡ Tips

• Best results when the depth map is not drastically different in object scale from the reference.

• Combine with text prompts to refine background, lighting, or mood.

• Can be combined with other RefControl LoRAs (pose, lineart, canny) on compatible pipelines for multi-constraint generation.

---

📌 Use cases

• Human portraits in different poses.

• Consistent character design across multiple scenes.

• Object transformations (cars, furniture, props) with depth-guided placement.

• Storyboarding, comics, or animation frame generation.
