## Limitations and tips

|
| 58 |
XPLDV works best with `ltx-2.5-22b-distilled-transformer-bf16.safetensors`. It can also be used with `ltx-2.5-22b-dev-transformer-bf16.safetensors`, which it was trained on. The included workflow uses the distilled model. Base models: [Lightricks/LTX-2.5](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-2.5).
|
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
+
## First and last frame guidance
|
| 61 |
+
|
| 62 |
+
First/last-frame generation also works well with XPLDV. Supply the assembled subject as the first image and a matching exploded arrangement as the last image. **In this setup, XPLDV provides motion guidance for the separation between the two images.** The endpoint images establish the starting appearance and intended final arrangement; the prompt describes which parts detach, their paths, and the ongoing subject and camera movement.
|
| 63 |
+
|
| 64 |
+
This approach worked well for the burger and running-shoe reveals in the demo reel. Use a workflow that accepts both image guides. The included example workflow uses one starting image; see the [first/last-frame setup and prompting notes](prompt_guide.md#first-and-last-frame-guidance) for the tested two-guide setup.

# Prompting XPLDV
|
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
+
Start with **“separates into an ordered exploded view.”** Choose a [BASIC or COMPLEX template](README.md#prompting), then use the slot reference below to fill it.
|
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
+
## Build the reveal
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
+
### Filling the slots
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
+
Grouped names share an explanation. Fill only the slots in your chosen template, giving each part its own details, then write the finished prompt as one paragraph.
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
+
| Slot | What goes in it |
|
| 12 |
+
| --- | --- |
|
| 13 |
+
| `[SUBJECT]` | The thing being taken apart: “the black SUV.” |
|
| 14 |
+
| `[NAMED OUTER PARTS]`<br>`[OUTER PART A]`<br>`[OUTER PART B]`<br>`[OTHER OUTER PARTS]` | Outside pieces to detach: “hood, front bumper, fenders.” Use the individual part slots when filling COMPLEX. |
|
| 15 |
+
| `[NAMED INTERNAL COMPONENTS]` | Inside parts to reveal: “engine, radiator, and front seats.” |
|
| 16 |
+
| `[LAYERED / RADIAL]` | Stacked layers or parts around a center. Example: “radial.” |
|
| 17 |
+
| `[EXPOSED CORE]` | The center the parts surround: “the moving chassis.” |
|
| 18 |
+
| `[CAMERA BEHAVIOR]` | One camera action with room for all the parts: “The camera tracks alongside at matching speed.” |
|
| 19 |
+
| `[LIGHTING CONSISTENT WITH THE IMAGE]`<br>`[CONSISTENT LIGHTING]` | The light already in the image: “the warm street lighting.” |
|
| 20 |
+
| `[CONTINUING ACTION OR ANCHORED SUPPORT]` | What the subject keeps doing or rests on: “driving across the bridge.” |
|
| 21 |
+
| `[DIRECTION]`<br>`[DISTINCT PATH]`<br>`[PATHS]` | Each part's movement path: “hood straight upward; bumper forward.” Give each part its own path. |
|
| 22 |
+
| `[ORIENTATION]` | How it stays angled: “flat and horizontal.” |
|
| 23 |
+
| `[SPECIFIC COMPONENT AND RECOGNIZABLE FEATURES]` | An internal part and its appearance: “a V8 engine with exposed intake pipes.” |
|
| 24 |
+
| `[POSITION RELATIVE TO THE OBJECT]` | Where that part belongs: “ahead of the cabin.” |
|
| 25 |
+
| `[OTHER COMPONENTS AND THEIR LOCATIONS]` | Other revealed assemblies and their positions: “brake discs inside the wheels.” |
|
| 26 |
+
| `[CORE COMPONENTS]` | Parts to keep assembled: “the engine and transmission.” Omit this clause if those parts should separate too. |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
+
## Keep the shot consistent
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
+
State ongoing motion separately from separation: the vehicle keeps driving, its wheels keep rotating, and the detached parts keep traveling with it after the gaps stop increasing. Keep stationary subjects on their support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
+
Match the paths to the final arrangement: vertically apart for a stack, sideways for a row, or outward around the core for a radial spread. Describe one consistent order, whether parts separate together or in stages. Detached parts should keep their shapes and remain suspended with visible gaps.
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
+
**Optional additions**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
+
- **Preservation:** Name existing people, objects, or surroundings that should stay consistent. For example: “The driver remains seated and the bridge stays intact.” These are preservation requests, not guaranteed locks.
|
| 37 |
+
- **Audio:** With audio generation enabled, add one final sentence for sound effects, ambience, music, or dialogue. Put spoken dialogue in quotation marks. Audio wording can influence the visible action, so review picture and sound together. See [LTX's prompting guide](https://ltx.io/blog/ltx-2-5-prompt-guide) for examples.
|

## First and last frame guidance
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
+
XPLDV also works well with first/last-frame generation. **For this setup, use XPLDV as motion guidance between the two endpoint images.** The first image establishes the assembled subject; the last image defines the intended exploded arrangement. XPLDV encourages ordered component separation during the movement between them.
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
+
1. **Prepare a compatible image pair.** Keep the same subject, identifiable parts, materials, and lighting. Give the last image clear gaps between components and enough room for the full arrangement. Any change in viewpoint should fit the camera movement you request.
|
| 44 |
+
2. **Use a workflow that accepts both guides.** The tested ComfyUI setup uses `LTXVAddGuide` at frame `0` and frame `-1`, with both guides applied in each sampling pass. The included release workflow is a single-image example; it needs a first/last-frame variant for this setup.
|
| 45 |
+
3. **Describe the movement between the images.** Use the existing BASIC or COMPLEX structure. Name the parts, their detachment paths, what becomes visible, and what continues moving. Write a consistent route to the supplied final arrangement.
|
| 46 |
+
4. **Review the whole transition.** Check component identity, detachment, and continuous movement between the endpoints. A matching last frame alone does not establish a clean exploded-view animation.
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
+
An end image can strongly determine the final geometry. To judge XPLDV's contribution, compare the movement between endpoints with the LoRA enabled and disabled while keeping both images, prompt, seed, and sampling settings fixed.
|

|
| 66 |
+
| Text conditioning | Direct prompt, enhancement off, empty negative prompt |
|

LoRA strength and image-guide strength are separate controls. Keep both passes consistent when comparing LoRA strengths. Review each new image pair; the tested strength is not a guarantee of better quality for another subject.

## When the result needs work
|
| 73 |
|
|
|
|
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
Change one thing at a time. Keep the image, seed, and settings fixed when testing a prompt revision. Watch the whole clip: a good final frame can hide problems during separation. Detailed-looking internals may still be inaccurate.
|
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
+
## Qwen prompt builder — copy with your image
|
|
|
|
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
+
With an Ollama node, supply the image and put the builder below in the connected **Instruction Template** input. **Guidance** is optional: leave it blank for BASIC or enter **Complex** for a detailed reveal. Use Guidance to specify a particular subject, action, arrangement, or parts. Start a fresh conversation for each independent image. For motion throughout the clip, say so explicitly in Guidance and check that Qwen includes it in the generated prompt.
|
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
Example Guidance:
|
| 90 |
|
|
|
|
| 95 |
```text
|
| 96 |
Write one LTX 2.5 image-to-video prompt for the XPLDV exploded-view LoRA.
|
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
+
Inspect the whole image and decide what physical construction the scene represents before naming parts. Choose the subject from the overall composition, not a prominent label or logo on one component. When a scene is built inside a larger machine or structure, use that enclosing construction as the subject and include its major visible levels; do not reduce the effect to a smaller object nested inside it. For a self-contained product on a table or in a presentation box, use the product itself; unrelated packaging and display props are not part of its construction. An explicit target or exclusion in Guidance overrides this default. State the chosen scope clearly in the opening sentence and keep every layer and internal reveal within that scope, preserving the relative scale and positions of its parts.
|
| 99 |
+
|
| 100 |
+
Identify the subject's current motion or support, the exterior components that should detach, the desired internal reveal, the structure that stays assembled, appropriate movement paths, camera framing and lighting continuity. Use only the current image and shot request; do not carry subject restrictions or scene actions over from earlier requests. Follow Guidance for the action, mode, and named parts. Preserve the people and loose props while following any requested action. Where people or furniture need support, identify the load-bearing surface that stays in place and separate removable sections around it. Do not detach that same support elsewhere in the prompt.
|
| 101 |
+
|
| 102 |
+
Before writing the final prompt, privately plan five major assemblies or reveal stages based on the subject's construction. Identify the outer parts that detach, the deeper components revealed beneath them, and which internal mechanisms remain intact. Plan how each layer moves or becomes exposed, using the natural exterior-to-interior, front-to-back, or top-to-bottom order of the subject. Focus on large, visually meaningful assemblies and group related internal components when they belong together. This hierarchy guides the reveal; it does not require five detached pieces or a fixed animation sequence. Do not output the plan.
|
| 103 |
+
|
| 104 |
+
Use BASIC for quick readable separation with a short list of named internal components. A COMPLEX prompt guides a more detailed, cinematic reveal through successive layers, describing deeper internal components, their appearance, and their positions, including details hidden or difficult to see in the starting image. These descriptions give LTX 2.5 the information needed to construct the intended reveal beyond what the image alone shows. Honor the requested mode; if none is specified, start with BASIC.

BASIC TEMPLATE:
|
| 107 |
+
[SUBJECT] separates into an ordered exploded view. [NAMED OUTER PARTS] move outward along controlled paths, revealing [NAMED INTERNAL COMPONENTS] underneath. The parts settle into an organized [LAYERED / RADIAL] arrangement around [EXPOSED CORE] while retaining their original shapes. [CAMERA BEHAVIOR]. [LIGHTING CONSISTENT WITH THE IMAGE] remains consistent throughout the continuous shot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 108 |
|
| 109 |
COMPLEX TEMPLATE:
|
| 110 |
+
[SUBJECT] separates into an ordered exploded view while [CONTINUING ACTION OR ANCHORED SUPPORT]. [OUTER PART A] detaches and translates [DIRECTION], keeping [ORIENTATION]. [OUTER PART B] moves [DISTINCT PATH], and [OTHER OUTER PARTS] move [PATHS]. These exterior parts move first and travel furthest, leaving clear gaps. They reveal [SPECIFIC COMPONENT AND RECOGNIZABLE FEATURES] at [POSITION RELATIVE TO THE OBJECT], with [OTHER COMPONENTS AND THEIR LOCATIONS]. [CORE COMPONENTS] remain mounted together. Each detached section retains its shape as the arrangement settles and holds steady. [CAMERA BEHAVIOR]. [CONSISTENT LIGHTING] continues through one continuous shot.
|
| 111 |
+
|
| 112 |
+
Adapt the chosen template to the actual image. Replace every placeholder with concrete wording. Keep BASIC concise. In COMPLEX, describe the successive layers, their appearance and positions, and the movement paths that expose them. Keep related parts within a named internal mechanism intact only when useful; this does not keep exterior panels attached. Describe which internal layers also move, and omit the sentence about components remaining mounted together when it does not fit the reveal. Add small parts only when they matter to the requested reveal. Do not require the same component to stay attached and detach independently. When full separation is requested, describe the part coming free of its attachments and remaining suspended with a visible gap; opening on a hinge is not full separation.
|
| 113 |
+
|
| 114 |
+
Preserve continuing motion when requested or clearly part of the intended shot, with the separated components traveling with the subject. Keep that action throughout the shot, including the final arrangement. Holding the arrangement steady means keeping the gaps steady relative to the moving subject. Keep stationary subjects on their support. Choose one camera behavior with enough room for the expanded arrangement and retain the source lighting.
|
| 115 |
+
|
| 116 |
+
Describe clear spatial and assembly relationships. Use the selected template to describe the final arrangement. Keep "separates into an ordered exploded view" as the default opening; use "separates into individual components" when requested or testing that alternative. Match the arrangement to the paths: a vertical stack, horizontal row, or radial arrangement around the core. Adapt the exterior-first timing when a different sequence is requested. Keep every major part requested in Guidance; do not substitute smaller decorative details for it.
|
| 117 |
+
|
| 118 |
+
When audio is requested, append a concise final sentence describing the desired sound effects, ambience, music or dialogue. Quote spoken dialogue. Match the audio to the intended visual action, recognizing that audio wording may influence that action. When audio is not requested, omit this optional sentence.
|
| 119 |
+
|
| 120 |
+
Do not add destruction, reassembly, an orbit, a negative-prompt list or unrequested scene changes by default. Do not invent a required trigger token. Do not promise perfect part counts, background isolation or accurate hidden construction.
|
| 121 |
+
|
| 122 |
+
Before returning, check that the completed prompt keeps the chosen subject and scope throughout, that no supporting part is described as both fixed and moving, and that separated parts remain suspended. Correct any conflicts silently.
|
| 123 |
+
|
| 124 |
+
Return only the completed positive prompt as one continuous paragraph, without headings, alternatives, placeholders or explanations.
