1. Preparation

Before starting this tutorial, please make sure that you have installed ComfyUI. If you haven't installed it, please follow the ComfyUI installation guide to install it first.

You should have at least one chekcpoint model in your ComfyUI

If you don't have the corresponding model installed, I recommend you start with the following models (just select one of them):

Dreamshaper: This is a model based on SD1.5. There are good results in realism and portrait monetization. Go to download

SD1.5: Go to download and find v1-5-pruned-emaonly.ckpt to download

Take the official portable version as an example. We need to store the downloaded model in the corresponding folder.

ComfyUI_windows_portable // ComfyUI official portable version

├── ComfyUI // comfy UI main folder

│ ├── models // Model installation folder

│ | ├── checkpoints // SD model installation location

│ | | ├── SD1.5 // Create a new SD1.5 version folder

│ | | | | ├── dreamshaper_8.safetensors // Downloaded model file

│ | | | └── v1-5-pruned-emaonly.ckpt // Downloaded model file

Make sure you have started the ComfyUI service. If it is not started, please refer to Start the ComfyUI service for startup.
