🛠️ 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
v11g changes
This is a continuation of v11f (not the alt version)
Added a Group Bypass node for Load VAE and Image to Image
This should make them easier to toggle on/off
If your checkpoint/model does not have a VAE baked in, you will need to enable the Load VAE group and make sure you have your VAE model selected.
(re)Added Detail Daemon to the initial KSampler
The settings are set to my preferences
Detail Daemon will be toggled off by default
Does it make a difference? Yes.
The settings on Dynamic Thresholding have been tweaked
The Divide CFG Value has been set to 3. If you are using this as-is, remember that your CFG value needs to be triple the normal. You can change the “b” value in the Divide CFG Value node to whatever you prefer.
If the workflow stops abruptly after the upscale portion
Locate the Impact Scheduler Adapter nodes in the Watermark Detection and Removal and Detailer groups and delete them.
Next, if the detailer nodes have a noodle going into the scheduler, disconnect the noodle and set the scheduler manually in each detailer node.
V11f-alt “fixed” this but I do not plan on continuing with that version.
If you are running into an error with the Basic Scheduler node, then I am not sure what to tell you.
This is a standard Comfy Core node that is included in ComfyUI. You will have to troubleshoot that on your own or reach out to the ComfyUI devs on their project page.
Initial sample images were generated with Dynamic Thresholding, CFG Zero Star, and Detail Daemon enabled.
Upscale model used: 2x-AnimeSharpV4_RCAN. (Made by the same person who made UltraSharp and AnimeSharp)
Total time from start to finish is approximately 200 seconds on a 5060ti. YMMV depending on settings and what hardware you have.
