ComfyUI Tutorial: Consistent Character In ComfyUI Part 1
TLDRIn this instructional video, the creator demonstrates a method for generating realistic character faces with consistent features using Comy UI. The process begins with loading the Photopia XL checkpoint from Civit AI and involves utilizing various nodes such as the IP adapter, batch image, and face restore nodes to blend images and refine the facial features. The goal is to achieve a unique, non-repetitive face that can be used in multiple images. The video also touches on troubleshooting issues, such as eye anomalies, and concludes with the promise of a deeper exploration in the second part of the tutorial.
Takeaways
- 🎨 Start by loading a preferred checkpoint, such as Photopia XL, for generating realistic images in Comy UI.
- 🔗 Use the IP adapter and select the Clip Vision model, noting that the model name may vary in different setups.
- 🖼️ Load two images using the batch image node, but use the encode IP adapter image node for custom weight applications.
- 📸 Address clipping issues by using a prep image for Clip Vision node to better manage image dimensions.
- 🔄 Choose image positions wisely; in the example, 'top' is selected because the face is at the top of the image.
- 🌟 Aim to create a unique face by blending two images, which will become the consistent image.
- 🖌️ Use a face restore node to refine the generated face if the quality is not satisfactory.
- 🎭 Experiment with different weights for the face restore node to achieve the desired look.
- 🔄 Compare the final image with reference images to ensure it is a blend and does not resemble any specific person.
- 👤 Save the满意的 face image for creating consistent face images in future projects.
- 🔄 Use the reactor face swap node for further image creation, which includes built-in face restoration.
- 🚦 Troubleshoot issues, such as with the eyes, by creating a new face and adjusting the model accordingly.
Q & A
What is the primary focus of the video?
-The video demonstrates how to create realistic characters with consistent faces inside a UI, using specific AI models and nodes.
Which checkpoint does the video creator prefer for generating realistic images?
-The preferred checkpoint for generating realistic images is Photopia XL, available on civit.ai.com.
What versions of the Photopia XL model are mentioned in the video?
-The video mentions the Type 4 and Type 4.5 versions of the Photopia XL model.
How does the video creator load the IP adapter and select the CLIP Vision model?
-The creator proceeds by loading the IP adapter and selecting the CLIP Vision model from their setup.
Why does the video creator use the encode IP adapter image node instead of directly cropping the image?
-CLIP Vision tends to crop the image, so the creator uses a prep image for CLIP Vision node to avoid direct cropping.
What is the purpose of the k-sampler in the process described in the video?
-The k-sampler is used to connect the model and introduce an empty latent image for further processing.
How does the video creator refine the face in the generated image?
-The creator uses a face restore node to refine the face and improve its quality.
What issue does the creator encounter with the generated image's eyes?
-The creator notices an issue with the eyes in the generated image, suspecting a problem with the face model created earlier.
How does the video creator address the issue with the eyes in the generated image?
-To rectify the issue, the creator disconnects the reactor node, reconnects the face restore node, and generates a new face to use as a consistent face in the reactor node.
What is the final goal of the process described in the video?
-The final goal is to create a unique and consistent face image that can be used in various applications within the UI.
What is the next step suggested by the video creator?
-The creator suggests staying tuned for the second part of the video, where they will delve even deeper into the process.
Outlines
🎨 Creating Realistic Characters with Consistent Faces
The video begins with the creator explaining the process of building nodes from scratch to generate realistic characters with consistent faces using comy UI. The preferred checkpoint for this task is Photopia XL, available on Civit AI. The creator uses the Type 4 version and mentions that version 4.5 is also available. The process involves loading the IP adapter and selecting the Clip Vision model. The creator discusses the limitations of applying different weights to images and introduces the use of an encode IP adapter image node for custom weights. The video then moves on to discuss the use of a prep image for Clip Vision to avoid cropping and the blending of two images to create a unique face. The use of a k-sampler and the setting of higher resolution and batch size are also covered. The creator then introduces a face restore node to refine the generated face and suggests comparing the result with reference images to ensure the desired outcome is achieved. The process can be repeated until satisfaction is met, and the generated face can be used for consistent face images.
🔄 Creating Consistent Face Images with Reactor Face Swap
In this part, the creator focuses on saving the generated image to a local folder and using it to create unique and consistent images with the reactor face swap node, which has built-in face restoration. The creator suggests finding another free image from Pixabay and discusses the incorporation of details from both reference images into the generated image. An issue with the eyes is noted, and the creator suspects a problem with the face model created earlier. To address this, a new nobody face is generated using the face restore node, which is then saved for use in the reactor node. The video concludes with a teaser for the second part and a thank you note for watching, emphasizing the value provided in the content.
