InstantID Implementation in ComfyUI for Stable Diffusion SDXL

Learn step-by-step how to install the InstantID implementation in ComfyUI, troubleshoot errors and workflow.

In this video I help you learn how to install the unofficial InstantID implementation in ComfyUI. We will be using Python 3.10 and creating a virtual environment to avoid dependency conflicts.

Not spamming at al!! You are doing all the hard work and providing immense value!! Forever grateful amigo!! ❤️🇲🇽❤️

That's for sure the most complicated nodes to install in comfyui. I don't understand why zho-zho nodes are so complicated to run, it always breaks the regular version of comfyui and forces us to reinstall the env python version to run it. It's not a feasible thing if you're willing to work with other comfy ui nodes that depends on newer versions of python. I'm just using another node from huxiuhan and it run with the regular Comfy portable.

If it takes 41 minutes generate an image you might as well just train a Lora or two of yourself in that time…

Hi, thanks for this tutorial, but I have a question about the manager button, why in this video there's no "manager" and "share" button under "load default" button? Because mine also doesn't have, but many other videos they have those buttons

[DianneStudio]

Amazing video, its so detailed and thank you so much for your big effort and time to make this video ultra detailed explaining every commands, issues and process. amazing. cheers....

Help! AttributeError: object has no attribute 'dtype'

[filmyentity]

Despite doing step by step the model failed to

error - 0.8 seconds (IMPORT FAILED): D:\Stable

Thanks for so detailed and informative video. Good work!

There seems to ba a bug - people using 16Gb VRAM (mine is 8Gb VRAM) - are getting this ERROR, as am I

Error occurred when executing Ipadapter_instantidLoader:

Error occurred when executing PreviewImage:

'str' object has no attribute 'shape'

[zhoobinnourian]

hi, thank for the great tutorial.
I'm getting an error with onnxruntime when I choose GPU for InsightFace Loader. However with CPU it works fine.
here's the error message :
CUDA_PATH is set but CUDA wasnt able to be loaded. Please install the correct version of CUDA andcuDNN as mentioned in the GPU requirements page, make sure they're in the PATH, and that your GPU is supported.

Hello Sharvin, I don't know if my comment keeps getting deleted or I can't see it, anyway, I was wondering if you offer pair programming/tutor services. I am looking for 4 hours/twice a week, it would amount to $120/week, but I can negotiate if you are interested. You are an excellent teacher, would love to discuss further.

Error occurred when executing ApplyInstantID:'embedding' ==> I'm getting this error message, does anyone know how to fix it?

[lilillllii]

Thanks. I ran it, but I keep getting this message "Error occurred when executing LoadImage". What should I do?

[ZakariaNada]

Your the video is the best tutorial out there even better than famous YouTubers. I run into an issue which is the first step ID Contronet Loader won't load even though I have downloaded the models and have the correct path in place (I haven't rename the controlnet models). I couldn't perform the .venv as well. Any advice?

Getting stuck at this

You do such an amazing job explaning everything! Unfortunely in my case, I ran out of memory on my RTX 3060 12 Gb VRAM. I hope there will be a refined model which will not use such amount of Vram!

[PyruxNetworks]

it is taking like 14gb during generation but at last step causing a 18-19gb vram usage spike. May be its better to wait for official implementation.

hi i have issue installing artgallery & gemini custom nodes, after installing the comfyui UI not working

[PeterChen-zxni]

I got this error when executing the insightface node:
[ONNXRuntimeError] : 7 : INVALID_PROTOBUF : Load model from failed:Protobuf parsing failed.
Have no idea how to fix it.
