ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI Inspire Pack

ComfyUI Inspire Pack Introduction

The ComfyUI-Inspire-Pack is an extension for ComfyUI that provides a variety of nodes to enhance your AI art creation process. These nodes offer unique functionalities that can help you achieve more precise and creative results. Whether you're looking to apply specific weights to different parts of your model, use advanced preprocessing techniques, or replicate specific styles, the ComfyUI-Inspire-Pack has tools to assist you.

How ComfyUI Inspire Pack Works

The ComfyUI-Inspire-Pack works by adding new nodes to the ComfyUI interface. These nodes can be connected in various ways to create complex workflows. Each node performs a specific function, such as loading a model, applying a specific weight, or preprocessing an image. By combining these nodes, you can create detailed and customized workflows that suit your artistic needs.

ComfyUI Inspire Pack Features

Lora Block Weight

• Lora Loader (Block Weight): Applies block weight vectors when loading Lora models. You can use numbers, R, A, a, B, and b to define the weights.
• XY Input: Lora Block Weight: Allows you to use Lora block weight in the XY Plot node from the Efficiency Nodes extension.

SEGS Supports Nodes

• OpenPose Preprocessor Provider (SEGS): Applies the OpenPose preprocessor for using OpenPose ControlNet in SEGS.
• Canny Preprocessor Provider (SEGS): Applies the Canny preprocessor for using Canny ControlNet in SEGS.
• Various Other Preprocessor Providers: Includes nodes for depth maps, face mesh detection, line art, and more.

• Regional Seed Explorer By Mask (Inspire): Restricts variation through a seed prompt, applying it only to masked areas.
• Regional CFG (Inspire): Applies different cfg settings to different areas using a mask.

Image Util

• Load Image Batch From Dir (Inspire): Loads images from a directory and normalizes their size.
• Load Image List From Dir (Inspire): Loads images in a list format without normalizing their size.
• Load Image (Inspire): Stores loaded image information in the workflow.
• Change Image Batch Size (Inspire): Changes the batch size of images.
• Change Latent Batch Size (Inspire): Changes the batch size of latents.
• ImageBatchSplitter (Inspire): Splits a batch of images into individual images.
