ComfyUI Extension: Various custom nodes by Eden.art

Various custom nodes by Eden.art Introduction

Welcome to eden_comfy_pipelines, a versatile extension designed to enhance your experience with ComfyUI by providing a collection of custom nodes and workflows. This extension is tailored to help AI artists streamline their creative process, offering tools that simplify complex tasks and improve efficiency. Whether you're looking to generate prompts, save images, or decode VAE latents, eden_comfy_pipelines has got you covered.

How Various custom nodes by Eden.art Works

At its core, eden_comfy_pipelines integrates seamlessly with ComfyUI, adding new functionalities through custom nodes. These nodes act like building blocks that you can combine to create sophisticated workflows. Think of each node as a specialized tool in your artist's toolkit, designed to perform specific tasks such as generating text prompts from images or saving your work in an organized manner.

For example, the CLIP_interrogator node helps you generate text prompts that match a given image, making it easier to create new art that aligns with your vision. The VAEDecode_to_folder node allows you to decode VAE latents directly to images and save them in a folder, which is particularly useful for creating long videos. Each node is designed to be user-friendly, with options that you can customize to fit your needs.

Various custom nodes by Eden.art Features

CLIP_interrogator Node

CLIP Interrogator Node Image

The CLIP_interrogator node is based on the clip_interrogator and offers several handy options:

• keep_model_alive: Keeps the CLIP/BLIP models in GPU memory after execution, reducing the need to reload models for each new pipeline. This saves time but uses more GPU memory.
• prepend_BLIP_caption: When turned off, it only retrieves matching modifier tags without using a BLIP-interrogation. This is useful if you're focusing on textures rather than the overall image content.
• save_prompt_to_txt_file: Allows you to specify a path to save the generated prompt to a text file for future reference.

VAEDecode_to_folder Node

VAE Decode to Folder Node Image

The VAEDecode_to_folder node decodes VAE latents to images and saves them directly to a specified folder. This feature is particularly useful for rendering long videos, such as those created with AnimateDiff. Note that manual video compilation with ffmpeg is required in post-processing.

SaveImage Node

Save Image Node Image

The SaveImage node is a basic image saver with additional options:

• Add timestamps: Automatically adds timestamps to your saved images.
• Save the entire pipeline as a .json file: This allows you to read prompts and settings directly from the .json file without loading the entire pipeline, making it easier to manage and share your work.

Various custom nodes by Eden.art Models

Currently, the extension does not include different models but focuses on enhancing the functionality of existing models through custom nodes. Each node is designed to work with the models you already use in ComfyUI, providing additional features and customization options.

What's New with Various custom nodes by Eden.art

The extension is continuously updated to improve functionality and add new features. Here are some recent updates:

• New Nodes: Introduction of the CLIP_interrogator, VAEDecode_to_folder, and SaveImage nodes.
• Enhanced Options: Additional customization options for each node to better suit your workflow.
• Performance Improvements: Optimizations to reduce GPU memory usage and improve execution speed. These updates are designed to make your experience smoother and more efficient, allowing you to focus on your creative process.

Troubleshooting Various custom nodes by Eden.art

Here are some common issues you might encounter and how to solve them:

Issue: High GPU Memory Usage

Solution: If you notice high GPU memory usage, try disabling the keep_model_alive option in the CLIP_interrogator node. This will unload the models from the GPU after each execution, freeing up memory.

Issue: Prompts Not Saving

Solution: Ensure that the save_prompt_to_txt_file option is enabled and that you have specified a valid path. Double-check the file permissions to make sure the extension can write to the specified location.

Issue: Images Not Decoding Properly

Solution: Verify that the VAEDecode_to_folder node is correctly configured and that the output folder exists. Ensure that you have enough disk space to save the decoded images.
