  • Purpose: Transforms line art into colored illustrations or 3D-style renders using ControlNet-guided generation and super-resolution.

  • Key Techniques:

    • ControlNet Canny: Strictly preserves line art edges.

    • Dual CLIP Encoding: Enhances complex prompt (e.g., materials, lighting) understanding.

    • UltimateSDUpscale: Tile-based upscaling for 4K output.

3. Workflow Structure

Group 1: Line Art Preprocessing

  • Input: User-uploaded line art (e.g., .jpg).

  • Output: Resized image + Canny edges.

  • Key Nodes:

    • CannyEdgePreprocessor: Thresholds 100/200 (adjustable).

Group 2: ControlNet-Guided Generation

  • Input: Canny edges + prompt (e.g., "Vibrant digital illustrations...").

  • Output: Latent image constrained by line art.

  • Key Nodes:

    • ControlNetApplyAdvanced: Weight=0.8.

Group 3: Image Generation

  • Parameters: 768x1024, Euler sampler, denoise=1.0.

Group 4: Ultra HD Upscaling (Right-Click Enable)

  • Tile Processing: 8 tiles at 1352x1352 each.

  • Detail Refinement: Secondary sampling (denoise=0.28).

4. Inputs & Outputs

  • Inputs:

    • Required: Line art image, positive prompt (auto-translated to English).

  • Outputs:

    • Colored/3D image (PNG).

    • 4K upscaled version (manual trigger).

5. Notes

  1. Line Art Quality: Clear, closed lines recommended.

  2. VRAM: ≥12GB for 4K upscaling.

  3. Troubleshooting:

    • Color bleeding? Increase ControlNet weight (0.9~1.0).

    • Blurry details? Raise denoise in UltimateSDUpscale (0.3~0.5).
