Unlock Realistic Material Transfer with IPAdapterFaceIDKolors and ControlNet
1. Workflow Overview

This is a material/style transfer pipeline featuring:
Advanced facial & color transfer via IPAdapterFaceIDKolors
Structure preservation with ControlNet line art
Enhanced detail retention using CLIP vision encoding + InsightFace
High-quality output with target material properties
2. Core Models

Resolution 512x1024
Output: Material-transferred image
5. Input/Output
Input Requirements:
Minimum 2 images:
Source (style/material reference)
Target (content reference)
Prompt: Simple (e.g. "4k") + Negative prompt "Fuzzy, low quality"
Output:
Generated image (auto-saved to

)
6. Critical Notes
Hardware:
≥8GB VRAM required (IPAdapterFaceIDKolors is resource-intensive)
InsightFace works better on GPU
Troubleshooting:
Adjust
strength
to 0.8-1.2 if face distortion occursVerify ControlNet model loading if line art fails
Extensions:
Add
Detailer
node for post-processing face refinementExperiment with CLIP vision models (e.g.
ViT-L/14
)
