ComfyUI Refacer - 18th May Edition (Patreon)

While various things keep coming out which use the research-only "insightface" models, I figured why not combine two insightface-free options together? On top of that, maybe see how quickly I can make that cartoon or painted face into a more realistic one? We've had a load of new nodes come out recently, so now is as good a time as any to slap a load into a single workflow.

Below you'll find the ComfyUI workflows for both real and anime preset "Refacer" examples.

You'll need a whole load of custom nodes installed, along with the various models, which you can download from the links below, if you don't already have them:

Hyper-SDXL = https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/Hyper-SD

IP Adapter = https://huggingface.co/h94/IP-Adapter

Photomaker = https://huggingface.co/TencentARC/PhotoMaker

The easiest way to install any missing nodes is through ComfyUI manager, with the custom node github pages providing additional information, if required.

Enjoy refacing! :)

Update - 21st May

Still having too much fun with this ;) Some slightly different presets for "Sketch" this time (v1). I was seeing how high I could get the weight value, so it's higher than in v0. Usually that adds too much colour. However, by keeping really tight "start" and "end" values, much of the face fidelity benefits from the IP Adapter face model can kept without the colour creeping in. "end at" is about as high as I think it can go, but I've only tested a limited set of images. If you're getting colour, lowering "end at" a tiny amount should do the trick. Happy AI sketching!
