🛠️ Purpose & Design Philosophy
This workflow is a high-fidelity environment built for Illustrious. It prioritizes stability and professional texture over generation speed. It follows an "all-in-one" philosophy: configure your prompts, hit queue, and let the workflow handle the multi-stage refinement from start to finish.
Not for Speed: This is a heavy-duty refinement tool. If you want 2-second previews, use a basic workflow.
Personal Use: Built for my specific production needs. It is shared as-is for those who want a "set-and-forget" pipeline for Illustrious. Adjust the settings and models to fit your needs. The defaults on v19+ will be what I used for the sample images.
All-in-One Logic: The workflow handles generation, detailing, and upscaling in one continuous pass.
If you're needing something with more features: Try checking out Silly All-in-one, Multiple Characters With Regional Loras which is on civitai.
⚠️ Disclaimer & Compatibility
Install at Your Own Risk: Custom nodes can break your environment. I am not responsible for troubleshooting your specific installation.
ComfyUI: Built and tested on the non-app version. Desktop app users may face additional hurdles.
The "Your Version" Factor: Your node versions and environment are 99.9% likely to differ from mine.
Nodes 2.0: I do not recommend using Nodes 2.0. It creates unpredictable UI behavior; I will not provide support for issues involving this feature.
🤝 Support & Boundaries
I have not and never will monetize my workflow. CivitAI is the only platform I am maintaining this workflow on. If you find a version of my workflow posted and/or monetized anywhere and use it, then whoever posted it is responsible for providing you any support. This is the main reason why I don't monetize this: I don't want to be or feel obligated to provide support.
No DMs: DMs are disabled due to repeat spam. Please check the Discussions tab below; most questions have already been answered.
Modifications: You are free to hack this workflow apart. However, you are responsible for fixing it if it breaks.
Custom Requests: I do not make private workflows. If you need a custom solution, post a Bounty on CivitAI. There are many talented creators ready to help you for a fee.
Description
v8b changes:
Added:
FreeU v2:
This node has been around for a while as part of Comfy Core. I still don’t understand how the settings work, but apparently the default settings are meant for SDXL.
It does definitely affect the image output. If you are interested in what the settings do, then a simple Google search or ask your preferred AI.
I use it with lower CFG settings than normal since enabling it seems to cause cooked images (for me).
It seems to push the image toward an anime output, but that could just be me.
This node is disabled by default.
ControlNet:
Added some basic ControlNet functions to the KSampler and both USDU nodes.
The nodes involved will require comfyui_controlnet_aux and Comfyroll Studio.
The KSampler ControlNet group will have a Load Image node, 3 AIO Aux Preprocessor nodes, 1 CR Multi-ControlNet Stack node, and 1 CR Apply Multi-ControlNet node.
The KSampler ControlNet group is bypassed by default.
There used to be an issue with not having an image in the Load Image node that would stop a workflow from working. AFAIK this has been fixed. If not, the fix is to put any random image there.
Each USDU ControlNet group is the same as the KSampler ControlNet group, but without the Load Image node.
If you don’t want to use ControlNet, you can just delete these groups from the workflow or bypass them.
I am using it for the purpose of using the TTPlanet function built into the AIO Preprocessor in conjunction with ControlNet Union (this can be found in ComfyUI-Manager under Model Manager. Just search for “union” when filtering for ControlNet models. Either non-flux version should work.
Generation speed is still around 3 minutes for me from start to finish, even with ControlNet enabled.
Removed:
Guidance Limiter:
Didn’t feel it was worth keeping. If you liked it, you can just re-add it easily. It’s part of ComfyUI-ppm.
