    HOW TO USE :

    https://civarchive.com/articles/21795/comfyui-tutorial-dynamic-multi-character-workflow-workflow-guide

    - Update Highlights – Version 1.6

    • Fully reworked the Detailer section, featuring better model selection and a cleaner, more readable display. This results in sharper outputs and a smoother experience when fine-tuning details.

    • Revamped the Preview system, making it more responsive and easier to read at a glance, improving iteration speed during generation.

    • Enhanced the Color Correction and Final Image pipeline, providing more consistent tones, better lighting balance, and overall higher-quality outputs.

    • Improved the overall workflow structure and visual clarity, making the setup more intuitive and user-friendly while keeping full flexibility for advanced users.

    • Various quality-of-life improvements and refinements across the workflow for a smoother and more efficient experience.

    - Update Highlights – Version 1.5

    • Added LoRA Manager integration, allowing users to easily load, organize, and blend multiple LoRAs without clutter. This makes character and style creation much faster and more intuitive.

    • Improved stability and layout readability, refining the node flow to make it more logical and beginner-friendly while preserving full modular control.

    • Updated tutorial and usage guide, including a full step-by-step explanation on how to install, configure, and use the workflow efficiently.

    • Minor adjustments to default samplers and CFG values for better consistency across multi-character generations.

    - Update Highlights – Version 1.4

    • Completely redesigned for better readability and ease of use, heavily inspired by vslinx’s workflow (shoutout to him).

    • The preview section has been revised for clearer and more intuitive feedback during generation.

    • The old dual-sampler setup has been replaced with a dedicated Hi-Res Fix node, improving image coherence and reducing anomalies during upscaling.

    • A new image filter now generates multiple base images depending on the batch size, allowing users to select the most suitable one before moving forward with detailing.

    - Update Highlights – Version 1.3

    • Reverted some previous changes that didn’t provide meaningful benefits.

    • Improved readability: reorganized key sections of the workflow for better clarity and structure.

    • Enhanced usability: streamlined certain modules to make the workflow more beginner-friendly and intuitive.

    - Update Highlights – Version 1.2

    • Wildcard support added for more varied and automated prompt generation

    • Auto-masking system implemented
      → Automatically generates a base image to feed the mask detection logic

    • Manual masking system retained

    - Update Highlights – Version 1.1

    • Added dedicated Detailer modules for:
      • Face
      • Eyes
      • Hands

      These provide better control and enhanced precision for high-focus areas

    You need to clone the repo on github in your "custome_node" folder, please refer to this official documentation : https://comfyui-wiki.com/en/install/install-custom-nodes

    AlterAuroraSep 9, 2025

    @Mittoshura I need help again. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but it doesn't matter what i prompt. It just.. doesn't follow. Mask 1 and 2 characters never show up. It kinda follows the main prompt and that's it. What am i doing wrong

    Mittoshura

    @AlterAurora Are you using the MaskEditor correctly ? To paint where the prompt will be applied?

    AlterAuroraSep 9, 2025

    @Mittoshura I think?I am meant to add the black image mask (since it wont let me prompt anything until i do), Then on mask 1 and 2 I put only the characters. I dont repeat the scene like in the main prompt. even when the mask thing pop up for me to choose which image to pick, It's all invisible like, there's nothing there even tho an image was generated.
    I am getting a few errors such as Output will be ingored
    failed to validate prompt for output 173,157,161,182,160,162,163,159,158.
    and after failed to validate prompt for output 166, it lists value not in list model_name 'sgm/ and basically all the things in there. even tho all the files are in the folder bbox and segm.
    so i don't know.

    I've tried multiple ways and it only follows the main prompt not the masks at all. So i am definitely doing something wrong. your already hotd image to compare, even using that one it never generates the hotd characters either

    maybe i am doing something completely wrong or I am just really stupid.

    @AlterAurora Are you using the last version of the workflow?

    AlterAuroraJan 18, 2026

    @Mittoshura Sorry! I was gone for a bit didn't see the message.
    At the time yes, I was using the latest. I will give a try on v1.5.

    I only see 1 character lora box. Do I put all loras there? Or just the ones that affect everyone? What about the other characters? Also should the attention couple node resolution equal the entire image's resolution?

    Mittoshura
    Author
    Sep 26, 2025· 1 reaction

    Yes the resolution must be the same ! As for the carater yes you can put all the loras in this box, and then call them individually in eache prompt box for each caractère with something like "<lora:rias_gremory_ilxl_v1:1>"

    ashdodd1029515Sep 26, 2025

    @Mittoshura Thanks kso much for the reply. So the lora will only apply to the prompt that I call the lora to via the <lora:> statement? Does that mean that any global lora such as lightings and styles should be called to the Base prompt in that way?

    @ashdodd1029515 For better result you should yes ! You can try to just call the trigger words but i found it works better if you ass <lora:the strengh you want>, yes you describe the scene in the Base prompt, make sure to add the number of caracter, for exemple, if you plane on using 4 girls, add "4girls" in the base prompts, something like this :

    Main prompt: “4girls, standing, beach, sunset, masterpiece, 8K, aesthetic”

    Mask 1 prompt: “4girls, long pink hair, green bikini, side ponytail, shy expression”

    Mask 2 prompt: “4girls, blue hair, black swimsuit, confident pose, hands on hips”
    …and so on.

    ashdodd1029515Sep 26, 2025

    @Mittoshura Oooh, interesting, so you actually suggest referring to the number of subjects in each mask prompt? So 4girls, description of first girl in first mask prompt. Then second mask prompt: 4girls, and second girls description, etc? That works better than saying... "4girls, on beach" in the base prompt and then "1girl, description" in each individual prompt?

    Mittoshura

    Sep 26, 2025

    @ashdodd1029515 Yes, it works better and maintains coherence with the prompt, so the attention couple can do its job properly

    ashdodd1029515Sep 27, 2025

    @Mittoshura Good to know, I really appreciate the tips. I've only been prompting a few months now and was using solely Forge until a couple weeks ago, so I'll soak up advice like a sponge whenever someone has some to offer xD

    Wanted to take a moment to thank you for this. Everything is laid out in a senseful, easy to understand way. Excellent work.
    I've been having a lot of fun playing around with the workflow, and as a by-product I've ended up learning about painting masks and using ragdoll posing apps.

    For anyone having issues getting the masks to work: open up the example image from OP in ComfyUI and check out how they laid everything out. Use that as a guide.
    -----
    My only issues at this time have been with the Save Image w/Metadata node. Listing them below:
    • Needed to do Right Click->Fix node (recreate) before it would output to my folder
    • Positive and Negative are not currently populating and default to unknown
    modelname does not seem to automatically change when I change the model. I can change it manually so it isn't a huge deal.

    Of course, this could always be an issue with the node on my end.

    Thank you so much for the kind words and the support — it really means a lot to me.
    And yes, I’ve run into that same issue too but completely forgot to mention the right-click → fix node trick. I’ll make sure to address it properly in the next workflow update (coming soon).
    I’ll also take a closer look at the other problems you pointed out and see if I can get them resolved. Much love.

    I have a question, your workflow helps with positioning the characters left and right, but how do i make them above each other, girl 1 top half girl 2 bottom half, for example

    Mittoshura
    Author
    Oct 12, 2025

    Juste draw the mask as you want for each caracter use the mask editor ! The first one you draw the top hald and the second one you draw the bottom half

    StarAIStarAIOct 12, 2025

    @Mittoshura Where should i draw the mask? i didnt see a node for that

    Mittoshura

    Oct 12, 2025

    @StarAIStarAI On the mask node on each section for your character ! You right-click on the node and click on "Edit with mask editor" and plaint with the white color !

    StarAIStarAIOct 13, 2025

    @Mittoshura Where is the mask node?

    Hey, I am getting no image after 1st sampler but I have it in sampler preview, what do you think can be the problem?

    Either the node is corrupted, try update the node or re-installe it manually, or maybe try to recreat the node ?

    How are you supposed to use the auto-mask? Whenever I try to run it I get an error like "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\ComfyUI\\input\\clipspace/clipspace-painted-masked-222014.png'"

    I recommend not using it if your not familiar with these nodes, it's pretty broken and crused, i'll try to make it easier to use in later update

    glencoe0204Oct 16, 2025

    @Mittoshura Ok so, how am I supposed to use the workflow then?

    Mittoshura
    Author
    Oct 17, 2025

    @glencoe0204 You edit the mask by using the mask editor, right-click on the node mask and "Edit with MaskEditor"

    i'm still trying to get this workflow to work. I had a problem when it comes to the image filter node. The images are in a blue and red color. they don't show the same as the ksampler, how can i solve this?
    OH and also it doesn't continue the process of final result and save image. it just finishes in high res result
