Transforming Static Images into Cinematic Explosions with Wan2.1
1. Workflow Overview

This workflow generates high-dynamic explosion effect videos using the "Wan2.1" video generation model, transforming static images (e.g., mecha characters) into dynamic clips with explosions, fire, and debris. Key features:
Image-to-Video: Adds effects like explosions based on input images.
Multimodal Control: Combines text prompts (e.g., "intense explosion + terrified expression") with image semantics.
Professional Optimization: Supports tiled rendering and VRAM management for HD output.
Core Models:
Wan2.1-I2V-14B: Main video model (14B params, 480P output).
UMT5-XXL Text Encoder: Processes Chinese/English prompts.
Explosion LoRA:
WAN2.1 ZOEY Explosion I2V_Alpha
, enhances physics details.
2. Key Components
Critical Nodes:
WanVideoModelLoader:
Loads Wan2.1 model (
Wan2_1-I2V-14B-480P_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors
).Supports
bf16
/fp8
precision and VRAM optimization.
WanVideoTextEncode:
Input bilingual prompts (e.g., "baozha, violent explosion behind the character...").
Uses UMT5-XXL for text embeddings.
WanVideoLoraSelect:
Loads explosion LoRA (default weight: 1.0).
WanVideoSampler:
Key sampler settings:
Steps: 20
Sampler:

(optimal for motion).Seed:
1057359483639287
(fixed).
VHS_VideoCombine:
Final video synthesis (MP4/GIF, 16fps, CRF19).
Dependencies:

3. Workflow Structure
Model Loading:
Load video model, text encoder, VAE, and LoRA.
Input Processing:
Resize input image (e.g.,
mecha_valkyrie.png
to 832x832) → CLIP vision encode.
Video Generation:
Fuse text/image embeddings → Sampler → Latent frames.
Output:
Decode latent → Combine video → Save as MP4 (default:
WanVideo2_1_T2V
).
4. Input & Output
Input Parameters:
Image: Recommended resolution ≥832x832 (e.g., mecha valkyrie image).
Text Prompt: Must include explosion keywords (Chinese/English).
Seed: Random or fixed (e.g.,
1057359483639287
).
Output:
480P MP4 video with explosion effects (saved to
ComfyUI/output
).Example output description:
"Violent explosion behind the character, flying debris, terrified expression, vibrant colors."
5. Notes
VRAM: ≥16GB required (24GB recommended for HD rendering).
Compatibility:
Only works with Wan2.1 models (not compatible with Stable Diffusion).
LoRAs must match
Wan2.1-I2V
version.
Troubleshooting:
Missing
WanVideoWrapper
causes node errors.Adjust

if input isn't square.
