ComfyUI: Generating character angles and expressions from a reference photo
ComfyUIDemo summary
The user inputs a photo of a woman into the workflow, uses an 'Image Describer' node to generate a prompt, and runs multiple generation nodes to produce profile views, back views, and various facial expressions.
Step-by-step
- Crop the input image so the face occupies more space and reduces distance.
- Connect the input image to the Image Describer node.
- Connect the image to the routers linked to the generation nodes.
- Select the specific nodes or models you wish to generate.
- Click Run Selected to begin the generation process.
- Review the generated angles (profile, back view) and expressions (smile, angry, disgusted).
- Re-run individual nodes if the lighting or likeness is incorrect.
Options
- Add strong keywords to specific expression prompts to intensify the result (e.g., 'really disgusted').
- Run generations in batches of three or four.
Watch out for
- Running too many nodes simultaneously may cause some generations to fail.
- Do not select and run everything at once including upscalers; if the base image is poor, you will waste credits upscaling it.
Tips
- Add 'crop' to the prompt if the initial image is too distant to get a stronger close-up.
- Generate the initial images first, and only run the upscalers once you are satisfied with the base results.
- Use the Image Describer node to automatically capture the 'raw feel' and details of the reference person.
