Download the necessary models and place them in the correct directories within your ComfyUI installation.

1. Identify Models: Check the yellow boxes in the workflow for the required models and their download links.
2. Download Models: Download each model from the provided links.
3. Place Models: Place the downloaded models in the specified directories within your ComfyUI folder (e.g., ComfyUI/models/). For GGUF models, you may need to create a subdirectory (e.g., ComfyUI/models/unet/GGUF).
4. Reload ComfyUI: After placing the models, press "R" to reload the ComfyUI window and refresh the model list.
5. Select Models: Select the correct models in the corresponding nodes within the workflow.

Install the Ultrasharp model using the ComfyUI Manager.

1. Open ComfyUI Manager: Go to the ComfyUI Manager.
2. Open Model Manager: Click on "Model Manager".
3. Search for Ultrasharp: Search for "Ultrasharp".
4. Install: Click "Install" next to the Ultrasharp model.
5. Refresh ComfyUI: Refresh ComfyUI after installation.

Input your reference image and configure the prompts for character generation.

1. Input Image: Drag and drop your reference image into the "Input Image" node. This can be an image in any style.
2. Character Prompt: Create a prompt describing the character's style. The default is "make an image in this style of the character."
3. Character Name: Give your character a unique name. This will be used as the trigger word for LoRA training and the output folder name.

Generate different views, emotions, and poses of your character.

1. Run Workflow: Click "Run" to start the image generation process.
2. Clothing Details: Add clothing details to the character prompt to guide the model (e.g., "wearing chunky sneakers").
3. Modify Prompts: Adjust the prompts for different views and emotions as needed.
4. Modular Groups: Copy and modify existing groups to generate additional images with different prompts.
5. Emotion Control: Use the slider to adjust the character's emotions.
6. Virtual Try-On: Drag and drop a clothing item onto the "Virtual Try-On" group and adjust the prompt to dress the character.
7. Pose Transfer: Load a reference image with a specific pose into the "Pose Transfer" group to apply the pose to your character.

Create a dataset with detailed captions and upscale the generated images.

1. Isolate Images: If you only want to use specific images for your dataset, change the character name in the workflow and run it again. This will create a new folder with only the currently displayed images.
2. Run Dataset Creation: Click the "Data Set Creation" button in the workflow.
3. Add Prompt: Add a prompt to the "Prompt" node in the dataset creation group.
4. Run Workflow: Click "Run".
5. Adjust Upscaling: If the character changes too much during upscaling, increase the "Start Step". If you want to add more detail, lower the "Start Step".

Train a LoRA model using AI Toolkit on RunPod for improved character consistency and realism.

1. Create RunPod Account: Create an account on RunPod and add funds to your billing.
2. Deploy AI Toolkit Pod: Go to "Pod Templates" and search for "AI Toolkit" by ostress and click "Deploy Pod".
3. Select GPU: Select a suitable GPU (e.g., RTX 3090, RTX 4090).
4. Change Template: Click "Change Template", then "Edit", and set a password in the "Environment Variables".
5. Deploy on Demand: Click "Deploy on Demand".
6. Access AI Toolkit: Once deployed, click on "HTTP Service" to launch AI Toolkit and enter your password.
7. Create Dataset: In AI Toolkit, go to "Data Sets" and click "New Data Set". Give it a name and drag and drop your images. Remove any unwanted images.
8. Create Job: Click on "New Job". Name the LoRA, choose the model (one 2.1 is recommended for compatibility), set the save interval (e.g., 500 steps), and select your dataset.
9. Configure Samples: Set the sample creation interval to match the save interval and adjust the example prompts to fit your character.
10. Start Training: Click "Create Job" and then the "Start" button to begin training.
11. Download LoRA: After training, download the LoRA models from the overview page.
12. Stop Pod: Stop the RunPod to avoid further charges.

Use your trained LoRA model to generate images of your character.

1. Download Workflow: Download the image generation workflow.
2. Install Missing Nodes: Install any missing custom nodes.
3. Download Models: Download the required models, including Lenovo Ultra Real and Insta Real 2.2 LoRAs.
4. Load LoRA: Load your trained character LoRA in both the high noise and low noise model sections of the workflow.
5. Create Prompt: Create a detailed prompt including your character's trigger word, descriptions, and the trigger words for the other LoRAs (e.g., "insta reel", "Lenovo").
6. Adjust Post-Processing: Adjust the post-processing effects (chromatic aberration, sharpening, bloom, grain) to your liking.
7. Generate Images: Click "Generate" to create images. Experiment with different seeds to get variations.

Use Light x Lauras to significantly reduce image generation time.

1. Download Light x Laura: Download the Light x Laura.
2. Load Light x Laura: Load the Light x Laura in both the high noise and low noise model sections.
3. Adjust Sampler Settings: Set the maximum steps to 8, CFG to 1, and start at step to 3 in both samplers.
4. Activate Bypass: Activate the bypass using Ctrl+B.

Generate videos of your character using the one 2.2 model.

1. Increase Length: Increase the length of the generation to create a video (e.g., 41 frames).
2. Add Video Combine Node: Add a "Video Combine" node to save the output as a video.
3. Rewrite Prompt: Ask a large language model to rewrite the prompt to be suitable for video generation.
4. Run Workflow: Run the workflow to generate the video.
