This is lowkey one of the best introductions into how SD works WHILE giving a good start for working with ComfyUI. Well done!

[episodioum]

That might be the first comfy ui explanation that made it looks easier. Good Work! For the advanced videos it would be awesome to explore custom nodes and how to make them work together.

[ThreeDeeMaxr]

Thank you for this tutorial! I was looking for a "how SD works" and this covered it.

[junosensis]

Thank you so much, i was scratchin my head to find the workflow for the refiner...Now it makes sense ! great video !

[vs]

I wasn't sure if I would learn anything new. But, I liked your approach of teaching by doing deliberate mistakes rather than just give a step by step instruction. Thanks.

[Jokerkiller]

I believe and hope your channel will grow, because it will. Sticking around to see it!

[LittlePawsBigPawsTraining]

best intro into ComfyUI i have seen, thank you for the help

[stephon]

thank you so much for this workflow I dont know if you just have that magic touch or what but other workflows never produced great results for me. For some reason your workflow has allowed me to produce substantial results in sdxl for my business thank you

[MrAbrxas]

thank you mate. this got me into the rabbit hole. amazing!
the only thing i can add is "if you are installing with pinokio it will not add the basemodel VAE in the models folder and you will not be able to use the load vae node. i will just give you an error.

you can either fix it by connecting the "load checkpoint VAE output" directly to "VAE decode input" which will make you use the basemodel VAE or you can download a VAE model and copy it to the VAE folder on huggingface or use the "manager" funtion of comfy (bottom right) to find other checkpoints.
but be carefull because when you use old VAEs it will produce just noisy images.

--- as mentioned: i started this all yesterday. the VAE thing took me a while to figure out but this tutorial is so damn amazing. I would never have managed to make this first step without it.
THANK YOU!

What an outstanding tutorial, detailed step by step and easy to follow.
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video.

I'm just starting and a bit overwhelmed. First I had a lot of issues with installing but that's my own fault (its never a good idea to just throw an installation together from diffrent installation mehtods I learned :D ) .. Now that I got that figured out it's time to learn. I've checked numerous video's. A lot of folks try to do a cash grab . The real content is on their patreon. That's their prerogative of course but I just want to learn an OPEN SOURCE piece of software for FREE :D You're channel is great and I am sure I will learn a lot. Keep it up!

[AsitGamingOfficial]

Thanks a lot. This helped me to get started with SDXL and ComfyUI

[roymathew]

Thank you very much for this. I can’t wait to see the next one.

Very good video, the try, get the error, and improve it's an excellent way or learning. Most videos just show the end result.

[lex_darlog_fun]

That's a good tutorial, but you clearly have misinterpreted what steps, start_step and end_step do.
Steps: overall number of steps, that BOTH nodes are expected to perform in total.
Start step: well, the node assumes that it starts it's work at this stage of denoise.
End step: hard cap which tells the node to stop, EVCEN THOUGH it's work is unfinished.

So, to perform a generation with 42 steps in total, where first 35 steps are done with base model and the last 7 are done with refiner, here are the values:

BASE:
steps: 45
start step: 0
end step: 35

REFINER:
steps: 45 (yes, the same value)
start step: 35
end step: anything higher than total steps count (the default 10k works fine)

Very good tutorial...I'll be watching more of your content. One question why does the final image have speckles on it?

[Klokinator]

What are you typing, clicking, or etc in order to get the popup that lets you type in a word? An example is at the 15:00 mark when you somehow bring up 'Search' to find advanced Ksampler. How did you pop that window up?

[criddyla]
