ComfyUI Node: Load Face Swap Model (mtb)

Load Face Swap Model (mtb):

The Load Face Swap Model (mtb) node is designed to load a face swap model, enabling you to perform face swapping tasks using deep learning models from the InsightFace library. This node is essential for AI artists who want to create realistic face swaps in their projects. By loading a pre-trained face swap model, you can seamlessly integrate advanced face swapping capabilities into your workflow, allowing for high-quality and accurate face transformations. The node simplifies the process of loading and managing face swap models, ensuring that you can focus on the creative aspects of your work without worrying about the underlying technical complexities.

Load Face Swap Model (mtb) Input Parameters:

faceswap_model

The faceswap_model parameter specifies the face swap model to be loaded. This parameter accepts a list of available models, which are dynamically retrieved from the InsightFace model directory. The available options are the names of the models found in the directory with extensions .onnx or .pth. The default value is "None". This parameter is crucial as it determines which pre-trained model will be used for the face swapping process. Selecting the appropriate model can significantly impact the quality and accuracy of the face swap results.

Load Face Swap Model (mtb) Output Parameters:

FACESWAP_MODEL

The FACESWAP_MODEL output parameter represents the loaded face swap model. This output is essential as it provides the actual model object that will be used for performing face swaps. The model is an instance of the INSWapper class, which is initialized with the specified model file and configured to use the available ONNX runtime providers. This output is critical for subsequent nodes that perform the face swapping operation, ensuring they have access to the loaded model.

Load Face Swap Model (mtb) Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the model files are correctly placed in the InsightFace model directory before attempting to load them. This will prevent errors related to missing model files.
• Choose a model that best fits your specific face swapping needs. Different models may have varying performance and accuracy, so experimenting with multiple models can help you find the best one for your project.

Load Face Swap Model (mtb) Common Errors and Solutions:

ModelNotFound: <model_name> (<model_path>)

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified face swap model file is not found in the expected directory.
• Solution: Verify that the model file exists in the InsightFace model directory and that the file name matches the specified faceswap_model parameter. Ensure that the file has the correct extension (.onnx or .pth).

No face swap model provided

• Explanation: This error indicates that no face swap model was provided to the node.
• Solution: Ensure that you have selected a valid face swap model from the available options in the faceswap_model parameter. If no models are listed, check that the model files are correctly placed in the InsightFace model directory.
