ComfyUI: Guiding Structure with ControlNet

ComfyUITry it →Watch full video →pixaroma ·

Demo summary

The video shows how to use Canny and Depth ControlNet models with pre-processors to guide image generation based on an input sketch or 3D text.

Step-by-step

  1. Download the Canny, Depth, and OpenPose ControlNet models
  2. Place the downloaded models into the 'models/control_net' folder within your ComfyUI directory
  3. Press the 'R' key to refresh node definitions if ComfyUI was already open
  4. Add an 'Apply ControlNet' node and connect the positive and negative conditioning
  5. Add a 'Load ControlNet Model' node and connect it to the 'Apply ControlNet' node
  6. Add a 'Load Image' node and connect it to an 'AIO' (All-In-One) pre-processor node
  7. Select the 'Canny Edge' pre-processor to match the Canny ControlNet model
  8. Connect the pre-processor output to the 'Apply ControlNet' node and run the workflow

Options

  • Use Canny, Depth, or OpenPose models depending on the desired guidance
  • Adjust the resolution in the pre-processor node for more detail in the map

Watch out for

  • ControlNet models are only compatible with the specific base model they were trained for
  • You must install the specific custom nodes required for this workflow if not using the 'easy install' version of ComfyUI
  • Do not connect a raw image directly to ControlNet; it requires a pre-processor to convert the image into a format it understands

Tips

  • Organize your ControlNet models into subfolders named after their compatible base models
  • Color-code your ControlNet-related nodes (e.g., yellow) to make the workflow easier to read
  • Add a 'Preview Image' node after the pre-processor to see exactly what guidance map is being sent to the model

Highlights

“without control net, it would be very hard to get something this complex using only a prompt”
