    🛠️ Purpose & Design Philosophy

    This workflow is a high-fidelity environment built for Illustrious. It prioritizes stability and professional texture over generation speed. It follows an "all-in-one" philosophy: configure your prompts, hit queue, and let the workflow handle the multi-stage refinement from start to finish.

    • Not for Speed: This is a heavy-duty refinement tool. If you want 2-second previews, use a basic workflow.

    • Personal Use: Built for my specific production needs. It is shared as-is for those who want a "set-and-forget" pipeline for Illustrious. Adjust the settings and models to fit your needs. The defaults on v19+ will be what I used for the sample images.

    • All-in-One Logic: The workflow handles generation, detailing, and upscaling in one continuous pass.

    • If you're needing something with more features: Try checking out Silly All-in-one, Multiple Characters With Regional Loras which is on civitai. I have no plans to implement additional features.


    ⚠️ Disclaimer & Compatibility

    • Install at Your Own Risk: Custom nodes can break your environment. I am not responsible for troubleshooting your specific installation.

    • ComfyUI: Built and tested on the non-app version. Desktop app users may face additional hurdles.

    • The "Your Version" Factor: Your node versions and environment are 99.9% likely to differ from mine.

    • Nodes 2.0: I do not recommend using Nodes 2.0. It creates unpredictable UI behavior; I will not provide support for issues involving this feature.


    🤝 Support & Boundaries

    • I have not and never will monetize my workflow. CivitAI is the only platform I am maintaining this workflow on. If you find a version of my workflow posted and/or monetized anywhere and use it, then whoever posted it is responsible for providing you any support. This is the main reason why I don't monetize this: I don't want to be or feel obligated to provide support.

    • No DMs: DMs are disabled due to repeat spam. Please check the Discussions tab below; most questions have already been answered.

    • Modifications: You are free to hack this workflow apart. However, you are responsible for fixing it if it breaks.

    • Custom Requests: I do not make private workflows. If you need a custom solution, post a Bounty on CivitAI. There are many talented creators ready to help you for a fee.

    Description

    What's new?

    Dynamic Thresholding

    • There are now two DT nodes. One is connected to the KSampler and the other is connected to each Ultimate SD Upscale node. This change was made based on recommended settings by ChatGPT.

    • The FaceDetailer nodes are no longer connected to DT: per ChatGPT, this can cause the detailers to overcompensate and flatten the results.

    Recommended Settings from ChatGPT

    Added a note with the recommended settings from ChatGPT when using DT + CFGStarZero.

    • Takes about 8 minutes from start to finish with a 5060ti. (not recommended if you care about speed).

    Added a note with tweaked settings based on what ChatGPT recommended when using CFG++ samplers.

    • Takes 3 to 4 minutes with a 5060ti.

    • I think these settings are a little high, but I did run some sample images with them.

    • Disclaimer: ChatGPT can be wrong and these settings may totally suck.

    Default settings are set to Euler Ancestral + Normal.

    Added some nodes labelled Lazy CFG next to each node that has a CFG setting.

    • Connect these to the CFG inputs on the nodes they are next to if you don't want to have to adjust the CFG on every node.

    found my sweet spot for v12f. Will upload v12g soon with the adjustments. Just finishing up the samples.

    Impressive results! Renders are practically crystal clear and perfectly balanced in terms of sharpness and lines! And for more subtle contour line thickness adjustments, pony_outline_lbw_5x (kohaku) works great for all XL models.

    Thank you very much, I get much better images using v12. Is it possible that you will add ControlNet to v12 in a later version?

    @Cyrus828 Glad you like it.

    My knowledge of and how I use ControlNet is very basic.

    If you're a seasoned ControlNet user, then you would probably be more suited to adding it to your workflow.
