ComfyUI Node: Sigmas Variance Floor

Sigmas Variance Floor:

The Sigmas Variance Floor node is designed to process a sigma schedule, ensuring that any steps that are too large for variance-locked Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) sampling are adjusted to the maximum permissible value. This adjustment is crucial because, as the sigma value approaches zero, the mathematical nature of the process causes the steps to become exceedingly small, particularly below approximately sigma = 0.15 to 0.2. By implementing this node, you can maintain a stable and effective sigma schedule, which is essential for achieving consistent results in AI art generation processes that rely on sigma schedules for noise control and sampling precision.

Sigmas Variance Floor Input Parameters:

sigmas

The sigmas parameter is a required input that represents the sigma schedule to be processed. This schedule is a sequence of values that dictate the noise levels at different steps of the sampling process. The function of this parameter is to provide the node with the necessary data to evaluate and adjust the sigma values, ensuring they remain within permissible limits for variance-locked SDE sampling. The sigmas parameter must be provided as it is essential for the node's operation, and it is expected to be in a format compatible with the node's processing requirements.

Sigmas Variance Floor Output Parameters:

SIGMAS

The output parameter, SIGMAS, represents the adjusted sigma schedule after processing by the node. This output is crucial as it provides a sequence of sigma values that have been modified to ensure stability and effectiveness in variance-locked SDE sampling. The adjusted schedule helps maintain the integrity of the sampling process, preventing issues that could arise from excessively small steps as sigma approaches zero. This output is essential for subsequent processes that rely on a stable and reliable sigma schedule.

Sigmas Variance Floor Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the input sigmas schedule is correctly formatted and contains valid sigma values to avoid processing errors.
• Use this node when working with variance-locked SDE sampling to prevent instability caused by excessively small sigma steps.

Sigmas Variance Floor Common Errors and Solutions:

"swapped i+1 with sigma_next+0.001"

• Explanation: This message indicates that a sigma value in the schedule was too small and has been adjusted to a permissible level.
• Solution: This is an informational message rather than an error. Ensure that your input sigma schedule is appropriate for your intended use case, and understand that the node is functioning as intended by making necessary adjustments.
