Source description

This is my Example Workflow using the new Starnodes. Just open the workflow and install the missing nodes in the comfyui manager or visit the github: https://github.com/Starnodes2024/ComfyUI_StarNodes

This workflow uses upscaling and refining.

The nodes include:

NEW: ⭐ Detail Star Deamon is adapted from the original sources. This can improve the details of your generated images and can be connected to the Starsamplers. Works with Flux and all SD Models. Read more about the settings and how it works on the original sources: https://github.com/muerrilla/sd-webui-detail-daemon / https://github.com/Jonseed/ComfyUI-Detail-Daemon

NEW: ⭐ StarSampler SD / SDXL: A Ksampler for SD, SDXL, SD3.5 with settings and outputs for model and conditioning passtrough. Optional: Connector for Detail Star Deamon

NEW: ⭐ StarSampler FLUX: A Ksampler for Flux with settings and outputs for model and conditioning passtrough. Optional: Connector for Detail Star Deamon

⭐ SD(XL) Starter : Is loading checkpoint (with CLIP and VAE) and create an empty latend (you can choose resolutions or set your own)

⭐ FLUX Starter : Is loading Unet (Diffusion Model), 2 Clips and create an empty latend (you can choose resolutions or set your own)

⭐ SD3.0/3.5 Starter: Is loading Unet (Diffusion Model), 3 Clips and create an empty latend (you can choose resolutions or set your own)

*you can add more ratios if you edit the .json-files in the node folder.

⭐ Star Model Latent Upscaler: Decode an input Latent and Vae to an Image, upscale with choosen model, resize to given size, decode output image back to laten with selected VAE.

⭐ Star Seven Wildcards: A prompt maker that use 7 inputs with wildcards to create prompts with different wildcards and multiple random inputs from one wildcard used. Also works without wildcards as text concatenate. You will find many wildcards in the "wildcards" subfolder of the node. To use them just copy the whole folder to your main ComfyUI directory.

⭐ Input Image Chooser: A simple switch for big workflows to switch between 8 input images

AI-generated commentary

AI-generated explanation based on source and configuration details. Suggestions are clearly labeled.

Purpose

  • This ComfyUI workflow is for creating and refining images with FLUX, SD, SDXL, or SD3.0/3.5: choose a model setup and resolution, provide text or wildcard prompt inputs, and work with image and latent data for detail refinement or upscaling.

Flow

  • Star Seven Wildcards combines seven wildcard or plain-text inputs into prompts, including multiple random entries from one wildcard.

  • Input Image Chooser switches among eight input images.

  • Detail Star Deamon can connect to the StarSamplers for detail refinement and is described as working with Flux and all SD models.

Inputs and outputs

  • The FLUX starter loads a diffusion model and two CLIP encoders; the SD3.0/3.5 starter loads a diffusion model and three CLIP encoders; and the SD(XL) starter loads a checkpoint with CLIP and VAE. Each creates an empty latent.

  • Star Model Latent Upscaler takes a latent, VAE, and upscaling model, converts the latent to an image, upscales and resizes it, then converts it back to latent data with a selected VAE.

  • StarSampler FLUX and StarSampler SD / SDXL pass through model and conditioning outputs; the SD / SDXL sampler supports SD, SDXL, and SD3.5.

Setup

  • If nodes are missing, install them through ComfyUI Manager or visit the ComfyUI_StarNodes GitHub repository.

  • To use the wildcard files, copy the full wildcards subfolder into your main ComfyUI directory.

Dependencies

  • Node names listed with the workflow include DetailStarDaemon, Fluxstarsampler, FluxStartSettings, LoraLoaderModelOnly, PreviewImage, SaveImage, ShowText|pysssss, StarFiveWildcards, Starupscale, and VAEDecode.

  • Model files named for the workflow include 4x_NMKD-Siax_200k.pth, ae.safetensors, flux1-canny-dev-lora.safetensors, FluxDevTurbo8Steps.safetensors, t5xxl_fp16.safetensors, and ViT-L-14-TEXT-detail-improved-hiT-GmP-HF.safetensors.

Configuration

  • To get started, choose a FLUX, SD(XL), or SD3.0/3.5 starter, then use a listed resolution or set a custom one.

    Suggestion · not verified

  • You can add resolution ratios by editing the .json files in the node folder, or connect Detail Star Deamon to the StarSamplers.

Cautions

  • The listed files 4x_NMKD-Siax_200k.pth, FluxDevTurbo8Steps.safetensors, and t5xxl_fp16.safetensors have no download URL in the listing; check where to obtain them before use.
