ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI_ZenID

ComfyUI_ZenID Introduction

ComfyUI_ZenID is an innovative extension designed to enhance your creative projects by providing advanced face manipulation capabilities. Inspired by the InstantID project, this extension focuses on tasks such as face swapping and face combining, allowing you to seamlessly integrate different facial features into your artwork. Whether you're looking to create unique character designs or experiment with identity-preserving transformations, ComfyUI_ZenID offers a user-friendly solution that simplifies complex image editing processes.

How ComfyUI_ZenID Works

At its core, ComfyUI_ZenID operates by utilizing a node-based interface, which is part of the ComfyUI system. This interface allows you to design workflows that can manipulate facial features in images. Think of it as a digital canvas where you can connect different tools (nodes) to achieve your desired effect. For example, in a face swap operation, the extension identifies key facial landmarks in the source and target images and then blends them to create a cohesive new image. This process is akin to a digital collage, where pieces are carefully aligned and merged to form a new whole.

ComfyUI_ZenID Features

ZenID Face Swap

The Face Swap feature allows you to replace the face in one image with another, maintaining the original image's context and style. This is particularly useful for creating new characters or altering existing ones in your digital art projects. You can customize the swap by adjusting parameters to control the blending intensity and alignment precision. Sample workflows, such as ZenID_FaceSwap.json, are available to guide you through the process.

ZenID Face Swap Example

ZenID Face Combine

Face Combine is a feature that lets you merge facial features from multiple images into a single composite face. This can be used to create entirely new identities or explore variations in character design. By adjusting the combination settings, you can influence which features are more dominant in the final image. The ZenID_combineFace.json workflow provides a starting point for experimenting with this feature.
