1. Workflow Overview

Purpose:
Generates production-ready chibi figure designs with facial feature control (PulidFlux) and 4x super-resolution, optimized for 3D printing/packaging.

Core Models:

  • ReVAnimated_v168 (Anime-style base model)

  • PulidFlux_v0.9.1 (Precise facial feature binding)

  • 4x_NMKD-Siax_200k (Upscaling)


2. Key Nodes

Node

Function

Installation

LoraLoaderModelOnly

Loads custom chibi-style LoRA (0.8 weight)

Manual model placement

ApplyPulidFlux

Binds facial features to output

Install via comfyui_pulid_flux_ll plugin

FaceBoundingBox

Detects face regions in input image

Requires comfyui_faceanalysis plugin

Dependencies:

  • PulidFlux model file (pulid_flux_v0.9.1.safetensors) in ComfyUI/models/pulid_flux

  • insightface library with CUDA support


3. Workflow Structure

Group 1: Model Parameters

  • Inputs: Prompt (e.g., "programmer CODELIE"), negative prompt

  • Key Nodes:

    • DualCLIPLoader: Dual text encoder (CLIP + T5)

    • EmptyLatentImage: 768x1024 canvas

Group 2: Pulid Control

  • Input: Reference face image (e.g., Einstein.png)

  • Process:

    1. FaceBoundingBox detects face area

    2. ApplyPulidFlux merges facial features

Group 3: Upscaling

  • Flow: Base image β†’ 4x upscale β†’ 50% downscale β†’ refine


4. Inputs & Outputs

Required Inputs:

  • Positive prompt (detailed figure description)

  • Reference face image (.png/.jpg)

  • Seed (default -1 for auto)

Output:

  • Final PNG with metadata

  • Resolution: 1536x2048 β†’ downscaled to 768x1024


5. Notes

⚠️ Requirements:

  • GPU VRAM β‰₯8GB (PulidFlux needs CUDA)

  • Python 3.10+ recommended

πŸ’‘ Optimization:

  • Adjust strength in ApplyPulidFlux (default 0.95) if face fusion is imperfect

  • Replace upscale model with 4x-UltraSharp for sharper details

πŸ”§ Troubleshooting:

  • PulidFlux errors: Verify model file path

  • Face detection fails: Ensure clear frontal face in input image
