Despite knowing comfyui rather well, i plan to watch through these. Its great to see a tutorial that is not locked behind a paywall. Thank you for making these.
I actually already learned something. I usually download my models manually so havent clicked on the model downloader.... seeing you can download controlnet models via that is a godsend. Its annoying to manually download each one of those so that will save a lot of time.
A tip on the reroutes. if you right click the dot for the out put and rename it you get that text in the centre of the reroute (where you would often just get "int" or "string" this helps make work flows easier to read as it gets longer.
Excellent starting point, thank you! I really appreciate tutorials that concisely but thoroughly explain the ins and outs of a tool. Super helpful.
So clear in your instruction. Thank you!
Thank you!
My absolute favorite feature of ComfyUI is that the whole workflow, from prompts to control nets to seed values, is stored inside the final rendered image.
I recently learned some new composition techniques from this channel, and I could just load up an old image I wasn't completely happy with, improve it using this new knowledge, and create a new render -- no need to mess around with json files for configuration settings.
This is excellent to see, it has bought me back to watching your content instead of just watching you talk about how great comfy is. It's great to see you showing people who have never used it before how to get going from day 1 interactions with it. I watched Scott Detweilers videos to learn comfy. He has some interesting opinions about the negative prompt box.
Amazing mate. Loving confyui. Look forward to the next lesson.
Perfect explanation for beginners! Could not be better at all. Not to short and not to long. Understood and ready to take your full course...
Thank you so much!!!
Really cool you explain all the little things from the beginning.
Finally! I've been interested in ComfyUI for months now but was initially intimidated by it complexity. This will help us get familiar. Thank you!
same, i liked the interface but reluctant to jump in for fear of it being too complicated - i think i can take a splash now :)
Hey Olivio! I'm one of your 'bonehead' followers! LOL LOL. Well, I've been avoiding Comfy due to me NOT wanting to learn something new but my latest SDXL project and the out of CUDA memory errors (using Nvidia 4500 GPU with 20Gb of VRAM) hampered me so much (GAAA!!!) I've decided to give Comfy a try. Well! Since you took so much time putting out these tutorials, I'm going to take advantage. :) Thank you sooo, sooo, much! Keep doing what you're doing; we appreciate it.
Excited for this series.. Have been struggeling to motivate myself to learn comfy ui but this guide series is really gonna help with that. Looking forward to it!
Thank you, Master 🙏✨
Love that you are working to get others involved in comfy.
Get others involved? Less than 2 minutes in he's expecting me to learn to code and compile something from github. This comfy is garbage
Thank you so much! I really like how you explain everything
Ive been waiting for this. Thank you so much. You have so much to share.
Thank you so much Olivio. I never knew how much I needed you until now.😊
wrr,sayx, can sayx etc any nmw s perfx
Thank you for this comprehensive tutorial. Love the fact you speak slowly so I have time to understand what you are saying. 💋
my guy is cable managing the software instead of the hardware, cute. Love your explanation man keep it going.
Thanks so much for these Olivio :)
Thanks for most easy basic lesson on comfyui
Fantastic video! I'm still very new to ComfyUI and SD, and videos like this are helping me so much. :)
sweet. ComfyUI works so much better than a1111 or forge for very specific workflows.
Pinokio makes everything easy to manage too.
Thanks for your lesson, it helps a lot, thanks !
some really handy tips in this lecture.....Thanks Olivio 👍
thanks! thats sooo easy with your explanation.
Olivio 감사합니다~!
Reroute node for clarity 10.24 very clever. I like that concept!
thx very usefull and clear, Very well done . thx for sharing and for the time and effort .
Awesome tips!
Great Lesson, Thanks u
A little more advanced, but apart from the "sticky group areas", you can also select multiple nodes and click "create group node".
This combines all I/O & values into a SINGLE widget. You can integrate reroutes to create extra inputs & outputs as well. Drawback is that if you create a "wrongly wired" widget it will be hard to debug, but it can be very useful to visually simplify very complex workflows.
ComfyUI for the win!
Thanks alot!
Another way I personally like to think of Comfy is its a program sandbox. Daily i find new use cases for this and to be honest its not all generating images too.
Edit: Also, thank you!
this is useful, coming from A1111 I always resisted Comfy
Great start. I still think it should be called ClutterUI but that's me.
A request if you haven't already filmed it. Would you think about doing a tutorial on customising filenames on output, the same as A1111 does it. I'm not talking about simply changing the name but adding the checkpoint name, the prompt, the date and any other information someone might want. It took me many hours to figure this out and I'm still not sure how it works. Documentation is almost non existent for it, so others may find it really useful too. Cheers.
I was expecting this video from you.😀
Any beginner can follow this tutorial easily
Great video Olivio! One question though: my main menu on the right side seems to be stuck, without no option to undock or those little dots that indicate that it's movable/dockable. I have the manager installed and some new nodes, but nothing that I think could have influenced in that behavior.
Thank you so much for this. I can't find, like we can see at 3:45, ComfyUI_Comfyroll_CustomNodes , maybe it was replaced for Comfyroll Studio?
Phenomenal
Manager is so useful, you have to wonder why it isn't preinstalled by default.
Made a ComfyUI setup for batch img2img processing new sprites for a game. Found some of it in WSO module for prompts and for images - it seems to work as long as you use only one instance of the module for batch image load and for "next text line loader" for prompts. It took me ages to figure out the quirk about only 1 instance, did not have fun.
Honest question, just install focus also, does comfy just allow for more customization or still better outputs? I like the simplicity of focus. Thanks!
Thank you
thanks a lot
Thanks. I was unable to find any sample files in my installation. Installed with Pinokio on mac. Not sure how to link files from my A1111. Any thoughts for mac users?
Thanks
Praise the ComfyUI videos!
Merci pour tes videos 😄 Que penses-tu de chaiNNer ?
If I link the model path via the .yaml file to another application folder like A1111, will ComfyUI take that folder additionally and also use the models installed in the ComfyUI folder or will it use the model path instead of the models installed in ComfyUI folder?
Thx a million Olivio, this is a super clear and useful ComfyUI Tutorial ever, luv ya v much 💕
Is there a way to apply a theme to comfy UI to look as pleasing to the eyes as the node system of InvokeAI?
As an absolute beginner, it would help if you went through the process of getting the initial ComfyUi interface up (I'm guessing it is via GitHub but would still appreciate it). Also, if you have never used A1111 then how do you get the models installed and which do you recommend . Also what hardware requirements are required. If you have another video covering these points perhaps you could provide link. Cheers
Look at his previous videos
Efficiency Node is broken currently idk why? Failed to install.
I just started learning COMFYUI and I followed your method and linked the A1111 models in Yaml file but COMFYUI does not show them and the manager does not refresh, even when I cleared the view and added a simple check-point, I could not see the A1111 models
Can you make it so we can have recommended/minimal specs for AMD/Nvidia graphics for comfyui.
You don't doodle, you *noodle!*
if you comfyui-manager doesn't show up be sure your folder structure matches: ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-Manager
then restart comfyui and it will install the required dependencies and work
How to not understand anything about ComfUI. Well done!
What is A1111 compared to comfy UI and does Comfy UI have it inside or do i have to find it and install it
2023: In the future AI will do everything and we will be useless.
2024 - the future: remember all those node based tools you had to learn in the past? Here is another one, but this time for AI.
I don’t know why but my queue prompt box is fixed to side it doesn’t move like yours… any idea why?
What about amd gpu users? I have comfyui working but i dont think the comfyui manager will work for me.
Hello, is it possible to use this method to add jewelry?
11:45 How create this Seed Node.??? Need install before..?
Cannot find that A1111 directory. where is it??? why dont explain it clearer for beginners? thanks
🌿
How to know the execution time? Thank you!
I'm so frustrated with A1111 so i want to learn how to use Comfy.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get this menu back (1:08) It just vanished someday and I can't get it back.
But It appears when I open it in Edge lol
I don't know if it is me or something else, but just feels like the audio quality is low for some reason.
There're so many nodes, it's a challenge to remember the nodes where they stay.
can't find manager link
0:05 - missed chance to start the video with "Today I want to take you on a journey - and it's not mid"
I don't see a manager option :(
google "comfyui manager" and install it with git clone into the custom nodes folder
Hi
ok but i just want to generate an image
It would be better to call it artificial trouble.
Thanks Olivio. But I still prefer A1111 as it's much easier to use. Inpainting, img2img, etc are better in A1111 without having to read 100 guides and install 100 addons like in comfy and then to discover that you did something wrong with the installations with error messages about some missing custom nodes. Comfyui is just hard and impractical for advanced stuff no matter how much the average person tries to learn it.
A1111 definitely has its advantages but Comfy is much more versatile and efficient. There's a reason that most of the newer development in AI art generation has occurred in Comfy whereas A1111 seems to be stuck in arrested development.
I like both but A1111 has a better Civitai interface extension I really wish was in Comfy.
A1111 is perfect for a hobbyist, but if you want to be professional, you will need to learn how to code, how to debug, and comfy is then the road for you.
I was in the same boat as you!
For me personally, comfy looked so intimidating and I thought I was never going to switch.
Once I finally did I realized that it never really gave it a fair chance, and by the time I was comfortable with the UI I realized that it took me the same amount, or even less time to learn than A1111 did.
I've only been using it for about 3 months, but I find that when new extensions and tools come out it is infinitely easier to learn and incorporate into my work than it was on A1111, although I do still keep A1111 launched in the background for its stellar inpainting.
Again this is just all my personal opinion, but once you get over the same learning curve that you needed to get over when you started A1111; Comfy is vastly better, even for hobbyists.
I switched to comfy last friday for kpop dance stuff. I lost a lot of time because my videos were blurry for some reason. It was just one variable that ruined them and that is basically the issue with comfy. It is super easy to make mistakes . But on the other hand the finetuning is amazing! Also now i can create my own workflows which allows me to make my prefered videos with 1 click .
It should have been named Uncomfyui💀 cz that UI looks scary
is this true or am i dreaming?
Even if you learn it, it won't make it more intuitive or creative. Nodes are the worst.
Too complicated for me.
Github less than 2 minutes in? I'm out, garbage
ComfyUI is a TERRIBLE interface.
Hate to say this but this was a seriously waste of time.
Gracias Olivioooooooo
Danke schön
5:05 i lost it here, where can i find my path of /A1111/webui? I cant find it in my desktop
Awesome tutorial, though I'm curious as to why Comfy wont load my models from the A1111 base path, even though I have it correctly configured?
EDIT: Neeeeeeevermind. To those that run into this issue as well, make sure you add an extra \ before your root directory (ie. C: \\Users\path\to\webui)
Thank you!
Thank you!
