ComfyUI Extension: 🌊 Depthflow Nodes

ComfyUI-Depthflow-Nodes Introduction

Welcome to the ComfyUI-Depthflow-Nodes extension! This powerful tool is designed to transform your 2D images into captivating 2.5D parallax animations. By leveraging the Depthflow library, this extension offers an open-source alternative to Immersity, allowing you to create dynamic animations with ease. Whether you're looking to add depth and motion to your artwork or create stunning visual effects, ComfyUI-Depthflow-Nodes provides the tools you need to bring your images to life.

How ComfyUI-Depthflow-Nodes Works

At its core, ComfyUI-Depthflow-Nodes uses depth maps to create a parallax effect, which gives the illusion of depth and movement in a 2D image. Imagine looking through a window as you move past it; the objects closer to you appear to move faster than those further away. This is the essence of parallax, and it's what this extension simulates. By applying various motion animations like zoom, dolly, and circle, the extension generates a series of images that can be compiled into a video, creating a seamless animation that appears to have depth.

ComfyUI-Depthflow-Nodes Features

Base Node: Depthflow

The Depthflow node is the heart of this extension. It takes an image and its corresponding depth map to apply motion animations, resulting in a parallax effect. You can customize various parameters such as the number of frames, input and output frame rates, and the quality of the output. Additionally, you can add effects like Depth of Field (DOF) and Vignette to enhance the visual appeal of your animations.

Depthflow Effects

Enhance your animations with customizable effects. The DOF effect simulates focus and bokeh, adding a cinematic touch to your animations, while the Vignette effect darkens the edges of the frame, drawing attention to the center.

Depthflow Motion

Choose from a variety of motion presets like Zoom, Dolly, and Circle to simplify your workflow. These presets allow you to quickly apply common animations without delving into complex parameters. For those who want more control, motion components offer modular building blocks to animate individual parameters, allowing for highly customized motion paths.

ComfyUI-Depthflow-Nodes Models

This extension does not include different models but relies on depth maps to create animations. The depth map is a grayscale image where lighter areas represent objects closer to the viewer, and darker areas represent those further away. You can use tools like DepthAnything to generate these maps from your images.

What's New with ComfyUI-Depthflow-Nodes

Stay updated with the latest features and improvements! The extension is continuously evolving to provide better tools and functionalities for AI artists. Check the Depthflow Nodes Docs (https://cyber-damselfly-b6c.notion.site/Depthflow-Nodes-11dfd5b1ca3b8007ae9dc0bd0c65690a) for detailed information on recent updates and enhancements.

Troubleshooting ComfyUI-Depthflow-Nodes

Encountering issues? Here are some common problems and solutions:

• Animation Not Smooth: Ensure that your input and output frame rates are set correctly. A mismatch can cause choppy animations.
• Depth Map Issues: If the depth map doesn't align with your image, try adjusting the depth map or using a different tool to generate it.
• Effects Not Visible: Check the parameters for DOF and Vignette effects to ensure they are applied correctly. For more detailed troubleshooting, refer to the Depthflow Nodes Docs (https://cyber-damselfly-b6c.notion.site/Depthflow-Nodes-11dfd5b1ca3b8007ae9dc0bd0c65690a).
