ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI-openpose-editor

ComfyUI-openpose-editor Introduction

The ComfyUI-openpose-editor is an extension designed to integrate the OpenPose editor into the ComfyUI environment. This tool is particularly useful for AI artists who work with pose estimation and want to fine-tune or create custom poses for their projects. By using this extension, you can easily edit and manipulate pose data, which can then be used in various AI art applications, such as generating images with specific poses or enhancing the accuracy of pose-based models.

Key Features:

• Pose Editing: Modify existing poses or create new ones from scratch.
• Integration with ComfyUI: Seamlessly send edited poses back to ComfyUI for further processing.
• User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive and easy-to-use interface designed for artists, not just developers.

How ComfyUI-openpose-editor Works

The ComfyUI-openpose-editor operates by allowing users to load and edit pose data in JSON format. Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works:

1. Pose Estimation: Use the pose estimator node to generate a POSE_KEYPOINT JSON file. This file contains the key points of the pose you want to edit.
2. Loading JSON: Load the generated JSON file into the editor using the Load Openpose JSON node.
3. Editing Poses: Make necessary adjustments to the pose within the editor. You can move key points, add new points, or delete existing ones.
4. Sending to ControlNet: Once the edits are complete, you can send the pose back to ComfyUI by clicking the Send pose to ControlNet button. This action will close the editor and update the pose in ComfyUI.
