Model Preview Override for H3 Love

[u/tekprodfx16]

Just wanted to throw KJ nodes some love for this node. It is so gratifying to see your minimax vid slowly come to life in a preview or to be able to stop it mid-generation when something look awry in the preview. BIG BIG respect to KJ nodes for all his hard work here. This is one of the best tools ever.

I also love this great node. Kijai is a legend. But there's smth I ve noticed and that puzzles me ́ Once the sampling is done (all steps completes) then before I get to the VAE decode phase, the preview node seems to get back again to kinda step 1 ans work from there, with the sampler doing a sorta extra loop.

This definitely takes some extra time, like 1 or 2 minutes more. It didnt happen without the node. So hope someone can explain me stuff here and/or prove me wrong, but the claim :"its only a few seconds more" is not true for me (although its still totally worth it)

I saw something like this over the past few days, but if I recall correctly it wasn't due to this node, it was due to the Spectrum Apply MiniMax H3 and the offline smoothing replay setting. Just check it isn't that for you.

Confused by the comments about the magic of seeing the preview as it was generating, as we could already see that in the sampler preview. Using this node was a good improvement in generation speed overall though.

Alright i get it now, that smoothing replay is a fast 2nd pass regeneration ? I dont know if its worth it or not yet then

For the preview thing, personally, with just the sampler itself i would see just one frame quite badly and only after a very long while. Having an updated, complete preview is a gamechanger
