ComfyUI Node: 📷ID Base Model Loader locally

📷ID Base Model Loader locally:

The IDBaseModelLoader_local node is designed to load a base model for the InstantID pipeline from a local checkpoint file. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who prefer to work with models stored on their local machines rather than downloading them from external sources. By leveraging this node, you can seamlessly integrate your locally stored models into the InstantID pipeline, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow. The primary function of this node is to load the specified model checkpoint and prepare it for use with the controlnet, enabling you to generate high-quality, personalized AI art with ease.

📷ID Base Model Loader locally Input Parameters:

ckpt_name

This parameter specifies the name of the checkpoint file you wish to load. It is crucial as it tells the node which model to load from your local storage. The ckpt_name should be a valid filename within the "checkpoints" directory. If this parameter is not provided, the node will raise a ValueError. The available options for this parameter are dynamically generated from the filenames in the "checkpoints" directory.

controlnet

This parameter represents the controlnet model that will be used in conjunction with the loaded base model. The controlnet model helps in refining and controlling the output of the base model, ensuring that the generated art meets your specific requirements. This parameter must be a valid controlnet model.

📷ID Base Model Loader locally Output Parameters:

pipe

The output of this node is a pipeline object, referred to as pipe. This pipeline is an instance of the StableDiffusionXLInstantIDPipeline class, which has been initialized with the specified base model and controlnet. The pipe is ready to be used for generating AI art, providing a seamless integration of your local model with the controlnet for high-quality results.

📷ID Base Model Loader locally Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the ckpt_name parameter is correctly specified and that the corresponding checkpoint file exists in the "checkpoints" directory to avoid errors.
• Use a compatible controlnet model to achieve the best results, as the controlnet significantly influences the output quality and style.
• Regularly update your local checkpoint files to take advantage of the latest model improvements and features.

📷ID Base Model Loader locally Common Errors and Solutions:

Please provide the ckpt_name parameter with the name of the checkpoint file.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the ckpt_name parameter is not provided.
• Solution: Ensure that you specify the ckpt_name parameter with a valid checkpoint filename from the "checkpoints" directory.

Checkpoint file <ckpt_path> not found.

• Explanation: This error indicates that the specified checkpoint file does not exist in the "checkpoints" directory.
• Solution: Verify that the ckpt_name parameter is correct and that the corresponding file is present in the "checkpoints" directory. If the file is missing, ensure it is correctly placed in the directory.
