This "Mecha Transformation" workflow uses WAN2.1 video model to dynamically convert portraits into armored warrior videos. Key features:

  • Background preservation

  • Smooth human-to-mecha morphing

  • 720P output (16FPS)

2. Core Models

  • Main Model: FP8-optimized Wan2_1-I2V-14B

  • LoRA: WAN2.1 Mecha Transform (specialized)

  • Video VAE: FP32 precision decoder

3. Key Nodes

Node

Function

Installation

WanVideoTextEncode

Multilingual prompt processing

ComfyUI-WanVideoWrapper

WanVideoSLG

Semantic-Latent Guidance

Built-in

Dependencies:

  • Text encoder umt5-xxl-enc-bf16

  • CLIP vision model open-clip-xlm-roberta

4. Pipeline Stages

Stage 1: Initialization

  • Load WAN2.1 model trio

  • Inject mecha LoRA at 1.0 strength

Stage 2: Motion Control

  • Positive prompt: "woman wears mecha suit"

  • Negative prompt filters artifacts

Stage 3: Rendering

  • dpm++ sampler (20 steps)

  • Temporal consistency with TeaCache

5. I/O Specification

  • Inputs:

    • Portrait image (e.g., 1024x1440 PNG)

    • Fixed seed 884841285240243

  • Output:

    • 720P video with CRF19 compression

6. Critical Notes

⚠️ Requirements:

  • 16GB+ VRAM (FP8 optimized)

  • CUDA 12.1+ recommended

🔧 Pro Tips:

  • Adjust SLG scale (0.1-1.0) for morphing intensity

  • Enable sageattn in model loader for speed boost
