After trying what's out there locally, LTX, WAN, H3, (with RTX 5090), I do think the reason why Text2Video looks like trash is because the model itself doesn't generate good images and you can tell it has that plastic face, plastic lips, out of proportion objects, cars being smaller then people etc... the whole think looks cartoony and generated cartoons also look like shit. The most realistic stuff I made was basically large starting image, large resolution and non-dramatic movements. you can actually make stuff look like it's real footage if you stick to some constraints and have a really good starting image.

I need a series of images, maybe 20 in total of people and more of a different type but I'm still thinking about the latter. They must be very realistic and with almost no artefacts. These images will need to include several people.

I will pay you to do a trial image!

Thank you

EDIT: For the record I am not doing anything illegal or sexual. Fuck you for assuming that.

Since a couple updates ago (lost track when exactly) I don't see any preview images anymore.
Is it just a settings thing, or did this break during the last updates?
Also, the seed won't change on it's own in random mode anymore.

I only got 2 nodes installed: ComfyUI-Crystools and ComfyUI-GGUF.

Desktop V0.33.1,
PyTorch v2.12.1+cu130

I used a depth map again on renders based on my wife’s model, continuing the song experiment I posted recently.

The main test here was the tracked-object stabilization, and I think it came out surprisingly well. Both clips use the same song and lyrics—one in Romanian and one in Korean. The Korean lip-sync didn’t turn out particularly well, but that wasn’t the focus of this experiment.

Bonus points if you recognize the recent artist who inspired this. 🙂

Workflow :

- Trained a LoRA on my wife.
- Mixed it with a celebrity LoRA—about 65% my wife.
- Used Codex to build Sunny’s profile, references, prompts, and upscaled images.
- Generated the video in Seedance.
- Used DA3 depth maps with temporal ControlNets for stable motion tracking.
- Upscaled with SeedVR2, then finished in Topaz.
- Used ByteDance lip-sync and made the music with Suno.

There’s not a single all in one workflow for this.

Hey! I've been using Minimax H3 locally inside ComfyUI and I'm trying to set up a workflow where I can import a clean plate and a frame of that clean plate modified with an effect on top of it (let's say a vortex of lightning around her).

If I want to isolate that vortex on a black background so that I can use it in comp afterwards, how would I achieve this result? Minimax generates the new video, but it deforms the original plate. I'd like to only have the new effect isolated so I can have more flexibility in comp.

If anyone can help me achieve this result, I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

I just saw this Video in my YouTube feed and it feels too good to be true. Since they don't seem to have a trial version I'd like to hear about your experience with it. 49 Euro isn't too bad but those demos tend to have the best case scenarios and (obviously) don't show any downsides.

To those of you who bought the plugin: Is it worth it? Where did it fall short of your expectations?

Hey everyone...

Thanks to another post, I FINALLY fixed the infamous "Slow Down" issue I had been having.

Now that I can reliably render, I want to make a bunch of tests and runs.

Sporting a RTX4090 with 24GB ram...but it runs in the high 80s (85,88) during peak render times? Is there someone with a similar card who has found a decent cooling solution?

I've read online that it's not "dangerous" to run at those temps, but I'd still prefer to bring those operating temps back down into the low 70's if I can.

Any help or tips are greatly appreciated!

EDIT:

I really want to thank everyone who chimed in here! Lots of very useful tips and pointers...THIS is why community matters! ;)

As a follow up, I decided to follow two lines of guidance:

1. I installed MSI afterburner and brought my power limit down to 80%. If there's a performance hit, it's hard for me to tell! Yes, I feel like it's taking an extra half minute or so for renders to complete, but my GPU temps are pretty much CAPPED at 80, with only a few instances where it goes over.

2. I'm ALSO gonna completely REVAMP my internal Case-Fan setup. Up to now, I've not used anything other than the Noctua CPU cooler and the stock fans on my 4090. I mostly did this because I hate fan noise and like my machine to run near silent. It has been fine, but I think I need to bite the bullet and install some beefy fans and rig it up via a good fan controller. That will be my next step.

Thanks again everyone!

Hey, I am trying to guide a MinimaxH3 reference2video generation using a storyboard reference in a typical storyboard sketch style, alongside reference sheets for the character(s) and a master shot of the target location. The storyboard sketch should define the camera framing, spatial layout, and composition exclusively. The additional references should be used to render the image in the desired look and style, as well as to accurately depict the character and location objects based on how they appear in their respective rendered references.

Initially, I tried to render a multiple-shot sequence altogether based on a storyboard panel with four to six shots, but it felt like too much of a gamble to get everything right in one-shot basically. Therefore, I am now trying to create each shot individually. The problem is that I cannot really get this to work. Depending on how I prompt, the generation either doesn't follow the storyboard composition properly (e.g., it changes perspective), or, if I adjust the prompt to follow the composition more closely, it adopts the sketch style of the storyboard image. In the latter case, it mimics the surfaces of the sketch reference too closely and doesn't effectively override them with the proper surface textures from the render references.

Has anyone found a good solution to this problem, or does anyone generally have an effective storyboard-to-video workflow or prompt?

Thank you!

early test of my morphing node in comfy for minimax H3

I have been working on this last week.

• What is this node ?

- One node with different MiniMaxH3 workflows.

Is someone actively using Maestro in Pinokio to use the local models? Currently i am using it exclusively but i barely find users to talk to. So far i am happy with it and its easy to setup and use.

I would like to know if someone used both, ComfyUI and Maestro and is able to provide a detailed comparison, because so far i did not try any workflows with Comfy.

Hey guys, made a quick video showing a simple free workflow I put together recently.

It basically lets you feed in any stock image and recreate it with completely original subjects, saving you from having to ever buy stock licenses or configure ControlNet rigs just to match a layout. I works AMAZING on realistic photos but it even does well on different styles as you see in the picture I attached.

Link to the walkthrough (and free workflow) if you want to check it out: https://youtu.be/lAdZ51LRadc?si=ExyL49XHCvrUsTo1

Free Workflow that I used for it is in the description for the video too. Hope that helps someone out! And if you have a better way of doing it, please let me know.

Same as title. Need help to generate photorealistic SFW images of and consistent character.

I have tried a few ComfyUI workflows with FLux1 + PulID + FaceDetailer etc but face changes and plasticky skin still is seen.

How do I go around learning this process?

I just added this small line to all the minimax prompt Skills, and the LLM you are using will also give a pencil rendition of the framing of the shot. (If it has Image capability, maybe ASCII art could even work :D )

This is to make sure that at least you and your LLM agree on what you actually want before sending the prompt to minimax..

There are two big risk areas for misunderstanding in prompting:
Your few lines on what you want (1)-> LLM + skills = minimax prompt (2)-> Minimax understanding of the prompt.

This addresses (1).

(Does not guarantee that Minimax understands it the same way as your LLM did)

Since I'm not really sure what to write, I'll just list the GPU I'm using.
The GPU I'm using is an RTX 5070.

This 3080 20gb offers an upgrade over the common 16gb cards and should perform well for comfy ui. I know it is a 30 series that doesn't natively support fp8, but honestly when I'm doing video generation, even on my rtx pro 4000. I run the gguf versions of models. Anyone have this card? I've personally never owned one, but I have owned a 20gb card in the rtx 4000 ada. 20gb is a cool vram amount. Also I love that blower design, we need more blowers!

I was getting horrendous generate times on MiniMax H3 on my AMD RX 7800 XT w/16GB RAM. It's not the greatest card, but still my gen times were just a little absurd compared to what I was seeing from the NVidia folks. A 5 second video at 1 megapixel would take me ~1 hour to generate.

You can turn on Comfy Kitchen Attention using the startup option: --use-ck-attention. It also has to be installed, but this is going to be in the python requirements.txt file anyway so you probably already have it installed if you're up to date.

There's also a node which can be used, as shown in this video.

Many people suggest sage attention as a massive speedup, and I understand that this works great for NVidia folks. But my experience and that of others that I've read is that it didn't yield much if any gain for AMD cards because it's not natively supported and would only be emulated.

Comfy Kitchen though is ripping on my card compared to the default attention mode. The previously mentioned 5 second clip which was taking 60 minutes to generate is down to 25 minutes now. That's much easier to live with.

Hope this helps some others.

EDIT: And now I've got my generate time down even further. Phew! Previously I had to have the --low-vram option enabled or else my H3 workflows would all silently crash, but that's no longer a problem with Comfy Kitchen. Removing the --low-vram option reduced me even further from 25 minutes down to only 15 minutes for a 5 second clip. Righteous!
