🛠️ 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
Update: I mislabeled the Tile Width and Tile Height nodes in the Pre-USDU groups. Those should be "Width" and "Height". Those nodes connect into the Upscale Image node in the same group and adjust the size of the image based on what you put in the "Upscale from original size" node. I'll fix this on the next update.
Moved the Global Seed node closer to the 1st KSampler (SamplerCustomAdvanced) node.
Added a few more notes throughout the workflow to hopefully help anyone who is not familiar with how some nodes work.
Tweaked some of the settings on the various Image Filter Adjustments nodes and left the majority of them expanded in case people want to adjust them.
Added single ControlNet groups for both USDU groups.
These utilize the ControlNet Union model which can be downloaded via the Manager.
Removed the nodes that added text for the before & after results in the Image Comparer nodes.
These were behaving in a way that would cause the random image results to not populate in the Comparer nodes until the workflow was fully finished.
Kind of a shame, was a nice QoL thing for me.
Initial example images were generated using:
Sampler: Euler Ancestral
Scheduler: Beta
Steps: 28
CFG: 6
Upscaled via 2 USDU Groups
Upscale Model: RealESRGAN_x4Plus Anime 6B (link to OpenModelDB)
Steps: 10
Denoise: 0.2
Detailers for Face and Eyes
3 cycles each
Face Detection Model: Anzhc Face seg 1024 v2 y8n.pt (link to huggingface page)
Eye Detection Model: Eyeful | Robust eye detection for Adetailer / ComfyUI - v2 Individual version. (civitai page link)
These will be the settings on the saved workflow file.
