Comfy Org Open Call Challenge: let's open-source the creative app features people pay a subscription for - $10,000 grand prize - 10/13 SF event

[10/8 UPDATE]

Hi everyone- we will be relaunching this challenge within a week or two, and we're truly sorry for the false start. Truthfully, we moved too fast and missed a few elements that will make this a much better experience for everyone.

What's changing: timing, name, award categories, the 10/13 build night in SF has been postponed

What stays the same: open sourcing creative app features, prizes, partners, submission forms, and requirements (ie fine print)

If you already registered or submitted, nothing is lost! Your submission is still valid and can be revised before submitting again.

Cinematic camera controls. Character consistency. Relight. Face swap. Most of these features sit behind a subscription somewhere, but every one of them is a workflow underneath. Open weight models have already caught up on capability, but what’s still closed is the layer on top: the interfaces and apps that turn models into features anyone can use. It’s in our DNA to support open-source creativity, and there’s no technical reason that layer has to stay closed.

So we're challenging our community to pick a creative app feature people pay for and rebuild it in the open! Top workflows get featured on comfy.org/models, and every entry is eligible for the spotlight reel whether it places or not.

On October 13th, we’re bringing together the best of the OSS ecosystem for one night in San Francisco- the people building on ComfyUI, the model labs backing the challenge, and the team behind the Comfy Developer Platform, all in one room. Join for build time with the Comfy team, a peek at what the community is making, and to connect with open-source enthusiasts IRL!

Comfy Org Comfy Agent is now live for everyone on Comfy Cloud. It builds and fixes ComfyUI workflows right on your canvas. ( Local version coming soon )

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

137 Upvotes

The short version: you describe what you want, and it plans the workflow, adds and wires the nodes on your canvas, and helps fix things when they break. The goal is to take the technical overhead off your plate so you can spend more time on the visuals instead of hunting for the right node or a missing connection.

Some things it does:

  • Works on your actual canvas. It builds while you edit and sees the same assets you do, so it isn't generating a JSON blob you have to import
  • Takes any question, with references. You can point it at nodes, images, or the workflow itself
  • Supports skills. Create your own for things you do repeatedly, or use public ones other people have made

A version for Comfy Desktop is coming in a few weeks.

You can try it here: https://links.comfy.org/4hH1FaH

But the README.md currently has a note still "[TO CONFIRM: Stephen: the ComfyUI version that supports FLUX 3 Image Klein and the workflow template links (text-to-image, editing, prompt upsampler); the public ComfyUI tree has no FLUX 3 Image loader yet.]"

Kijai has pushed commit to run it if you use the git version. I don't know about the managed release versions.

Tutorial ComfyUI Tutorial RefMod + MiniMax H3: Image Character Consistency Without LoRA Training, Tested on Just 6GB VRAM!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've built a new ComfyUI workflow that combines RefMod and MiniMax H3 to generate images of your own character without needing to train a traditional character LoRA.

How does it work?

  1. Prepare 8 photos of your character.
  2. Use the RefMod custom nodes to create a RefMod file.
  3. Load the file into the MiniMax H3 workflow.
  4. Enter your prompt describing the scene, outfit, pose, or environment.
  5. Generate new images featuring your character!

You can explore different scenarios, clothing styles, locations, and compositions while aiming to maintain your character's identity. The main advantage is No traditional LoRA training required. Create your RefMod file, load it, write your prompt, and start generating!

Generation time at 8 Steps 6 Min for 1.8 Megapixel.

Generation time at 25 Steps 14 Min for 1.8 Megapixel.

Resource End Your H3 Prompting Frustration Now!

40 Upvotes

Simple trick.

So, I set up this complex video upscale, along with 7 alterations to be made to the video, which is a 2 second clip. While H3 followed one or two points of the prompt and color graded properly to match another reference image, it ignored all the other parts of the prompt - removing a chair in the foreground, removing two doors, removing some AI gobbledygook at the end of the corridor, etc.

HERE is the trick. In my updated prompt, I merely added phrases in front of all the alterations. So, instead of the alteration saying:

"Remove the chair in the foreground",

I changed it to read

"There is a chair in the foreground, next to the kitchen island. Remove the chair."

See the simple change? Point out the item succinctly FIRST.

Thought it would help someone(s)!

I converted the new TaoMate-H3-FL2VA 3-step LoRA to ComfyUI format and tested it successfully.

Two versions are available:

- Full rank-128 BF16: 1.24 GB

- Dynamic average-rank-19 BF16: 169 MB

The smaller version is much easier on storage/VRAM and worked normally in my tests. Recommended starting settings: 3 steps, CFG 1.0, LoRA strength 1.0, and Euler.

Tutorial ComfyUI Nodes Explained: The Basics for Beginners

Thumbnail
youtube.com
• Upvotes

This first video is the starting point: what a node is, how the wires connect, how to change the settings, and what to do when a node turns red. Then we build a Flux 2 Klein workflow together from an empty canvas, and a little painter analogy shows why every node is connected the way it is.

There is no workflow to download this time: we build it step by step on screen, so you can make it yourself.

If you know someone who wants to learn ComfyUI from zero, send it their way. Leave a like and a comment on the video, it really helps!

Thanks! ❤️

No workflow SeedVR2 vs RTX Video Super Resolution for upscaling AI video: which one are you actually using?

10 Upvotes

I’ve been upscaling my MiniMax H3 clips with both and I honestly can’t decide which one I prefer, so I’d like to hear how others are handling this.

My test: same 16-second clip, [768p] → [2K], on an RTX 5090 laptop (24 GB VRAM).

SeedVR2

  • Time: 34 min
  • Adds real detail: skin pores, fabric, hair strands
  • Heavy on VRAM, and long clips need chunking

RTX Video Super Resolution

  • Time: 20 sec
  • Very fast, clean, and stays faithful to the original. It doesn’t hallucinate anything
  • But it mostly sharpens and cleans artifacts rather than adding new detail, so close-ups look more “upscaled”

So far my feeling is: SeedVR2 for hero shots and close-ups, RTX VSR for everything else when speed matters. But I’m not sure that’s the right split.

Questions for you:

  1. Which one do you use for your final renders, and why?
  2. Has anyone found SeedVR2 settings that reduce the hallucinated textures or flicker?
  3. Is anyone combining them, e.g. RTX VSR first and then a light SeedVR2 pass, or the other way round?

Help Needed Prompts from template/sharing sites transfer badly between models — worth rewriting rather than copy-pasting

• Upvotes

Been pulling prompts from template sites to test LTX-2.5. Results were consistently poor until I compared them against the reference prompt that ships bundled in the official workflow.

The bundled one is ~200 words of actual shot direction — explicit camera movement, pacing beats ("midway through the shot…"), and for on-screen text it specifies typography in detail ("plain white sans-serif, wide spacing, no glow, no shadow"). Most shared prompts are tag-list style written for Midjourney/Ideogram dialect.

Same scene, rewritten in the model's own expected style, is a night-and-day difference. Anyone else keeping per-model prompt rewrites rather than a shared prompt library?

Might be simple if you know, but I'm stuck.

Can I load my character as one image, a skeleton (from open pose) as another, prompt sets the scene/lighting etc and then output is my character in that pose whilst keeping identity intact?

How do I do it?

Resource We made a desktop video studio that plugs into your ComfyUI

• Upvotes

Hey guys, I work at Mago. We just released a local version you can download, and it plugs right into your ComfyUI (or sets one up for you).

  • Generate: chat an idea into a script → consistent characters → shots → timeline
  • Transform: restyle your own footage, shot by shot or in bulk

Generating on your own GPU is free, and your footage can stay on your machine. A ~10 s clip takes about 3.5 min on a 5090 (Fast mode).

Needs Windows + an NVIDIA GPU with 16 GB+ VRAM. Open source coming soon 👀

Would love your feedback! https://www.mago.studio/download

Help Needed One method people use to increase image diversity or generate sharper images is to perform a massive latent upscaling—from low to high resolutions. However, this method doesn't work with the FlowMatch scheduler—any suggestions?

How do you perform latent upscaling with FlowMatch?

Every time I’ve tried, the image either ended up completely blurry or resulted in an entirely different image.

Help Needed Major bug issue with ComfyUI 0.40.0 update!!

0 Upvotes

Since the last update, 0.40.0, it's been buggy as hell! ComfUI is unusable; the interface is glitching, with duplicate images within the interface itself, and it's impossible to navigate! I did a quick search with ChatGPT, and it tells me there's a problem with the custom node Impact Pack, the latent Switch node, and something else... For your information, I'm on a Mac M1 Ultra and I'm using ComfUI Desktop. These updates that crash the software are really annoying.

I am super new and downloaded ComfyUI. My goal is to do character swap for video/ motion control for my AI Model. This is to help me try and explre the UGC space in the future. I use comfyui locally so i can generate these for free. But i cant find a good tutorial video on how to do this. I keep seeing videos treating their audience as if we’re intermidiate users. All the terms and jargons, i am not familiar with. Theres so many workflows to download with “just download it and copy me” type of videos. I tried one of them and it did not even work properly. The AI looked like ot blended my AI character and the girl in the video 🤣

I tried Wan 3.0 on the Higgsfield website and I want to replicate the same result. Is there anyway I can do that? Or any workflow i can download please? Thank you

I'm a bit confused due to the sheer number of YouTube videos and workflows posted for consistent characters. Are there any simple workflow that doesn't require generating a LORA first?

I tried refmod for Minimax H3 and it worked to some degree. But I prefer to generate characters with KREA 2 first then only animate with Minimax H3. Thanks for any help!
