Steps:

  • Step 1: Installing Comfy UI To install Comfy UI, head over to GitHub and find the Comfy UI repository. You can either clone the repository or directly download the installation file for Windows. Once downloaded, extract the file using your preferred extraction tool. Make sure to read the readme file for any specific instructions based on your GPU configuration.
  • Step 2: Setting up Comfy UI If you have an existing installation of Stable Fusion or Automatic 1111, you can configure Comfy UI to use the same models. Simply navigate to the config UI directory, rename the example file, and set the base path to your existing installation. If you don't have any models, you can download them from Civitai and place them in the models folder.
  • Step 3: Exploring the User Interface Once you launch Comfy UI, you'll be greeted with a node-based user interface. These nodes represent different features and functionalities that you can connect to create your own workflows. Start by loading a model and setting up prompts for positive and negative inputs. You can customize the workflow by adding or rearranging nodes as per your requirements.
  • Step 4: Advanced Features and Custom Nodes Comfy UI offers advanced features like K Samplers and VAE n code for more control over image rendering. Additionally, you can enhance your workflow by installing custom nodes. Download the Comfy UI Manager and install any missing custom nodes to unlock a wide range of possibilities. Explore the available custom nodes and learn from other users' workflows to create stunning images.
  • Step 5: Learning from Examples To further expand your knowledge of Comfy UI, check out the extensive examples available on the Comfy UI GitHub repository.
