Version 2 coming soon...

This flow is for making character dataset images, using Face Swap, for Lora creation. (A fancy way of saying 'lots of pictures'.)

It will take your loaded image, generate a front and back view, generate multi angle shots from those, then go on to take your character and put them in different clothes, poses, and lighting conditions, face swapping along the way.

This flow is dedicated to Lonecat as I used his flows for ideas and for all of my learning. Thanks bud, for all you contribute to the community.

Version 1.6

Just some minor prompt and detailer tweaks.

Should be a wee bit faster now. (Even put in a render timer. Quite handy!)

Versions 1.5
I started playing with AI image generation less than a year ago at the time of writing this. Like many people, I jumped straight into ComfyUI and immediately got lost in a sea of nodes, spaghetti workflows, and “wait... what does this node even do?” moments.

A lot of my early learning came from studying workflows created by Lonecat. The outputs were incredible, but the workflows themselves were absolute chaos to a newcomer — which honestly made them a fantastic way to learn. Nothing teaches ComfyUI faster than trying to untangle someone else’s 400-node masterpiece.

Over time, I became interested in training my own LoRA models, specifically to create a realistic representation of my recently deceased father using decades of family photos and old recordings of conversations we had before he passed away. Yeah... maybe a little creepy, maybe a little emotional, but it became a huge motivator to really understand how all of this worked.

The biggest challenge quickly became dataset creation. I could find workflows that got “close enough,” but I kept running into issues with consistency, angles, expressions, anatomy cleanup, identity preservation, or just workflows that were nearly impossible for newer users to follow or modify.

So I started building my own.

At first, it was just a handful of borrowed ideas mashed together while I learned. Then it slowly evolved into something much larger:

• * staged dataset generation

• * angular generation

• * optional NSFW refinement

• * face swapping

• * automated detailers

• * reusable latent/model systems

• * modular switches

• * cleaner workflow organization

• * educational layout design

At some point, it stopped being “someone else’s workflow with edits” and became its own thing entirely.

This workflow is designed to be both production-usable AND educational. I intentionally kept many sections visually separated and organized so newer users can follow the logic, disable stages, experiment safely, and learn how the pipeline works without needing a PhD in node spaghetti.

The workflow is heavily modular:

• * Front/Back generation

• * Angular generation

• * Dataset stages

• * Optional NSFW refinement

• * Face swap systems

• * Detailer systems

• * Switch-controlled sections

You can run sections individually as you progress through dataset creation instead of generating everything all at once.

This workflow was built through months of experimentation, failure, rebuilding, optimization, and learning-by-doing. Hopefully it helps someone else who is starting that same journey.
