[NEW VIDEO + WORKFLOWS] Create Consistent, Editable AI Characters & Backgrounds for your Projects!
Added 2024-04-29 11:18:23 +0000 UTCIn this video I teach you how to use ComfyUI to create consistent characters, pose them, automatically integrate them into AI-generated backgrounds and even control their emotions with simple prompts.
I developed this ComfyUI workflow in preparation for one of the next AI 3D rendering workflows, in which we will look at animating characters. Iโve been developing some really cool stuff and canโt wait to finally show it to you!
But for now you can also use this workflow for many other exciting things: to create children's books, AI movies or one of these AI influencers everyone keeps talking about!
NEW LINK TO THE POSE EDITOR: https://zhuyu1997.github.io/open-pose-editor/
You can download the FREE workflows below!
Here is the INSTALLATION GUIDE: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ixEYqQzQBT6gAE-LOMc3--BSxE3WinKDrnGR8vfMQRs/edit?usp=sharing
Iโll also share some more example files and poses on Discord. Have fun generating!

Hello Frederic Chauveau - did you ever get an answer here?

2025-04-28 18:44:29 +0000 UTCI get an error during upscaling from UltimateSDUpscale `view size is not compatible with input tensor's size and stride (at least one dimension spans across two contiguous subspaces). Use .reshape(...) instead.`

2024-09-24 20:11:11 +0000 UTCAny advice for using Mickmumpitz_ControllableCharacters_v03.json with SD1.5? I seem to get a few errors if I try
VLRevolution
2024-09-24 10:49:49 +0000 UTCFound an alternative hosting it: https://zhuyu1997.github.io/open-pose-editor/
VLRevolution
2024-09-24 09:47:34 +0000 UTCBtw https://openposeai.com/ is offline. What alternative should we use?
VLRevolution
2024-09-24 09:44:41 +0000 UTCAny way to have image as the input for the character sheet and then generate more consistent characters from input image? I'm sure it's somehow possible but I'm not that well versed in comfy. This would be really great addition!
VLRevolution
2024-09-24 02:01:08 +0000 UTCI solved this by uninstalling and reinstalling via the managerUI inside comfyui.

2024-09-15 02:41:20 +0000 UTCI am having an issue with the ComfyUI_ipAdapter. Update custom node 'ComfyUI_IPAdapter_plus' Update: ['https://github.com/cubiq/ComfyUI_IPAdapter_plus'] Update(git-clone) error: https://github.com/cubiq/ComfyUI_IPAdapter_plus / Not a git repository. Do I have the folder in the wrong place? Does anyone know the fix?

2024-09-14 23:56:57 +0000 UTCThanks a lot, it's working perfectly.
Hritosloke Roy
2024-09-13 13:48:55 +0000 UTCThe function of a node had now changed, which broke the workflow. I have now fixed the error and made some improvements to the workflow (v03)! But now you need an additional controlnet (MistoLine) I have added the link in the guide.

2024-09-13 08:52:18 +0000 UTCHi, I'm trying to generate a background with the character as per following your video, it is giving me an error "DepthAnythingPreprocessor operands could not be broadcast together with shapes (518,924,4) (3," any solution regarding this problem? Thanks
Hritosloke Roy
2024-09-12 11:38:43 +0000 UTCthanks for this - Daniel is correct.

2024-09-05 22:40:19 +0000 UTCHas anyone had any success using this with InstantID?
Daniel Friis
2024-08-21 10:38:13 +0000 UTCJust a note to the guide. IP Adapter models need to go into the models/ipadapter directory now
Daniel Friis
2024-08-21 10:01:26 +0000 UTCOkay, I ran into the same issue. If you've downloaded the OpenPoseXL2.safetensors as specified in the guide, you've added it the sdxl folder. Just need to change that in your workflow or move the model to the root. The guide also doesn't say anything about installing the upscaler model, but you can install that from the manager.
Daniel Friis
2024-08-21 09:46:32 +0000 UTCFor reference if anyone else encounter this. My controlnet model didn't match the 'main' model. I just reloaded the workflow to make sure the right models were selected throughout the workflow
Daniel Friis
2024-08-21 09:42:53 +0000 UTCSeems like you haven't installed the models ('OpenPoseXL2.safetensors' and '4xUltrasharp_4xUltrasharpV10.pt') or added them to the right folders
Daniel Friis
2024-08-21 09:38:38 +0000 UTCI'm getting this error as I try to run the workflow: "Error occurred when executing KSampler: mat1 and mat2 shapes cannot be multiplied (308x2048 and 768x320)"
Daniel Friis
2024-08-21 09:37:31 +0000 UTCHi there! I have a problem when I launch the prompt by pressing the "Queue Prompt" button. The message that ComfyUI returns to me is: Prompt outputs failed validation ControlNetLoader: - Value not in list: control_net_name: 'OpenPoseXL2.safetensors' not in ['control_sd15_depth.pth', 'control_sd15_openpose.pth', 'sdxl\\OpenPoseXL2.safetensors', 'sdxl\\sai_xl_depth_256lora.safetensors'] UpscaleModelLoader: - Value not in list: model_name: '4xUltrasharp_4xUltrasharpV10.pt' not in [] Please, help!

2024-08-18 23:13:22 +0000 UTCit figures somehow the code cannot find the default plus adapter , when I chage the adapter to something else it works, they are in the same folder etc. so this seems to be a bug.
Deniz Cakir
2024-08-13 11:35:25 +0000 UTCupdate, restarting the pc has changed things, the comfy ui started complaining about anything that I manually copy pasted into the folder structure, it seems as if I need to use the manager to install everything , I will try to do so .
Deniz Cakir
2024-08-13 09:42:17 +0000 UTCWell Another issue I am having is that ComfyUi complains that IPAdapterPlus.py is missing while it is perfectly there , or that controllablecharacter json fails to generate and image at all maybe I should restart my pc but I think thats ahardly the case, I have completed all the steps in the otherworkflow and everything works fine

2024-08-13 09:30:30 +0000 UTCthanks man.

2024-07-12 12:04:49 +0000 UTCHappy to be supporting you on your journey - I sincerely hope I'll be able to use these techniques for my many currently storyboard ready comic book projects and as well for future animation work as well. As always great entertainment value - Keep up the good work.... for some reason I have a peculiar craving for Cheese... hmmm

2024-06-18 17:40:28 +0000 UTCI joined the subscribed to the patreon to specifically get to know about this workflow. I have searched all over the internet finding a method to make a consistent character not only the face but also the entire body. And after searching a lot I came across this video on YouTube. I tried to run this on colab but in the free one it's very little time available so I tried to run it on cpu and I came up with some problems. But I will be trying to run this on Vast.Ai . Is there any advice from you and tips for me to work this. I'm a complete beginner to comfyui. And I would love to join the discord too
