I think it's good that ComfyUI is becoming more and more of the default tool for implementing various AI repos. For one, it is so much nicer to run everything from one place rather than keep installing Torch and all the requirements for each and every repo. But it also comes at a cost.

Recently, I had to upgrade CUDA to 12.4 and Torch to 2.5 to make them compatible with Triton for Mochi1. Then, Ecomimic2 dropped which comes with ComfyUI custom nodes from the get-go. After looking at their requirements.txt, I decided not to install the custom nodes and went with their original repo installation instead. The problem? Dependency conflicts starting from Torch to all the dependencies.

But this kind of problem isn't new to the point of my acquiring a paranoia of checking requirements.txt before implementing any new custom nodes. Now that ComfyUI has gathered enough clout, isn't it time to have a dependency policy that says either you follow the dependency policy in making custom nodes or get the hell out?

Also, I have noticed that there are duplicate models and files as different custom nodes for different repos use different file management structures. I don't know but SSD space is a rather rare commodity these days for me and I just hate having all these files duplicated in different folders. Wouldn't it be too difficult to have a file management policy as well?

like rollar coaster, keep try out the best way on I2V. cogVideoX still most reliable,

already give up on LTX I2V, it just give me still image most of the time.

i realized it is so difficult to get crispy chicken wings or deep fried crispy chicken right in SDXL/FLUX... all i get are mutated disguising looking meat.... so far only firefly did a good job. what will be your approach to make a better crispy chicken wings

Hi guys,

Flux Tools just came out, and it is hands down one of the most consistent image control tools I've used for Flux (duh, given it comes from BlackForestLabs).

One of the pain points I had while learning how to use each of these tools is not having a place with just the most fundamental and cleaned up workflows (no extraneous nodes, dependencies etc) to begin with. So, I spent the day trying out and cleaning up every one of these workflows so beginners will find a more friendly starting point.

I've also included all the links to the files you need to download in each workflow repo on openart, so here they are:

I've been trying for 8 and failing. I try to do iOS so many times I found an image I liked on civitai (https://civitai.com/models/929922/princess-peach-from-mario-and-luigi-brothership-style-pony-xl) and I am trying to recreate it here. I try normally and it doesn’t work, I tried even alternative ways and I'm not getting the same image (see below)! What am I doing wrong? Because lm need to make it 100% same Here what I, trying to recreate exactly same https://civitai.com/images/39044876 And hear what I was get https://orchestration.civitai.com/v2/consumer/blobs/PZSXQ67BE55AA03VPMAHEY1BH0

I'm curious—how do you approach generating characters in specific double poses that might come up in storytelling? For example

- One person giving another a piggyback ride.

- One person slung over another’s shoulder, like a sack of potatoes.

- One person propping up a tipsy friend, by holding them around the waist, with their friend's arm draped over them

- One person cornering another, hands on the wall to either side of their head, in a menacing way.

(I'll skip over poses like two people fighting, kissing, hugging, or having sex, since reference images for those tend to be fairly easy to find.)

How do you go about this?

Do you start by creating the double pose and then swap the faces using inpainting? If so, what’s your process for creating the initial pose?

Do you use a specific model that’s particularly good at understanding text prompts for double poses? Then just generate a bunch of images until you find one you like, then refine it from there?

Do you sketch the double pose in a drawing, and then gradually develop it into what you want to see, and in what style, through image to image plus inpainting? (That’s what I have been doing so far.)

Do you use Blender or PoseMyArt to create a depthmap, which you then use for a depth controlnet?
(Am I correct in thinking that using an openpose controlnet with two skeletons with a lot of overlap isn’t really working?)

Do you use regional prompting, or attention masking? Is “attention masking” actually all that useful for double poses that go beyond two people just standing next to each other, given that the masks can’t intertwine? Can it be used for any of the above examples?

Do you use omnigen?

What apps / combination of apps do you use for this? Krita? Blender? Invoke? Comfy?

Would love to hear about your workflows, tips, or tools—anything that helps you create complex double poses effectively.

I just discovered PullID and found it to be a really good tool as it can basically create similar things to LoRa without training. I'm wondering what advantage does training a LoRa have over PullID?
