Thaks mate,
It's not as elegant or as flexible as most other models, but it's becoming better and better and at what it's designed to do.
It's also been a very entertaining learning process ;)
It feels something like a crime to break up this flow of beautiful realism with more of my fluff..
Latest tweaks to my checkpoint appear to be working :)
I have a very similar setup, gave Comfy another look yesterday After spending 25 minutes trying to get the bugger installed I quit and went back to Forge.
I suspect I'll move to Comfy at some point, but not just yet ;)
I need to get stuck into Comfyui but it's a bit terrifying to look at compared to Flux or EasyDiffusion. The fact you can use Comfy to create videos may be deal clincher.
