This is perfect. It's not "Here is how you make amazing artworks! Copy me!!" it's about learning and understanding how the tools work and that's more important to making great art down the line.

comfy is really under represented on youtube in terms of guides that go beyond just installing so really appreciate this upcoming series

I just downloaded Stability Matrix and ComfyUI, as well as a few models. I have no idea wtf any of the default nodes and things on the comfyui meant. This video has helped me soooo much! Thank you sir!

Things I love about ComfyUI is it makes me better understand what is running and what it looks like when you generate an image. Not just blindly clicking around without knowing much about how things work and twist around.

You are such a soft spoken KZfaqr. It is pure ASMR.

I've watched several videos on ComfyUI already and couldn't understand why it was needed. Finally you made a video in which you explained it in a simple and clear way. Thank you!

This is really great, simplified what I was seeing in all the spaghetti photos. I'm glad this is the first video for comfy I watched. Also super appreciated the kind of throwaway info about how exactly karras and euler were named, it's little things like that that make concepts a little more understandable and relevant.

I stepped into ComfyUI recently and your tutorial by far is the most engaging with drops of useful hints. I will watch all of your ComfyUI tutorials

Thank you, SO MUCH, for explaining the why as you go along. It's really helping to understand why we would make certain decisions instead of just copying. It's so important to teach in this way and so rare to find YT tutorials that do it.

Thank you so so so much! I felt so stupid watching tutorials all over again, they always explain so fast. I appreciate you taking the time to really explain as for a real beginner! :)

Your "double heads and extra arms, that's not a problem with negative prompt" comment is priceless. People seem to expect that negative prompts fix every single problem, so they keep adding more and more negative embeddings, which in many cases result in an output image that corrupts the base model. I was adding tons of negative embeddings with the idea that they could only generate great images, but the result was constantly messed up eyes and details, and I was wrongly blaming the base model for that. Now I never use more than 3 negative embeddings, one of them being always the bad hands one, and the others are applied with lower strengths like 0.5 to 0.7, which results in a remarkable improvement that doesn't destroy the base model. A tutorial on negative embeddings would be urgently required.

WOW. This is a great tutorial that goes beyond describing the steps for getting started with the ComfyUI and is filled with great tips and explanations. I am hooked.

usually i have trouble understanding SD tutorials for the new UIs and stuff but you explained this the best of anyone. probably wont be going back to A1111 now, great video! subbed

Great tutorial I learned a lot watching this. I appreciate how you're building something from scratch as opposed to many of the current videos out that have you just install Comfy and paste a pre configured node layout

WOW. This is such a liberating workflow, plus you understand better how it works if you pepper your workflow with preview images. Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for this video, I have just been approaching Comfy and you make it sound so intuitive! Can't wait to watch the entire series about it

I moved to ComfyUI to try out SDXL thinking I'd eventually go back to auto1111. Comfy is more intuitive and it's forcing me to understand the components much more which is what I wanted anyway. Great video btw, those tips are quite helpful.

THIS video taught me a lot more than 100 other videos on ComfyUI ... THANK YOU!!!

I installed Stable Diffusion and Comfy yesterday to enter the Ai image generation world and your tutorial is a great introduction, I reproduced everything here, the seed input and the upscale examples, thanks!

This is an incredible tutorial and introduction. I always try to understand what I do in order to learn things instead of just blindly copying steps. It might not be a very efficient way of learning things but I still believe it is superior (especially long-term). Thank you soooo much for this. Instantly subscribed!

ComfyUI was recently added to the Auto1111 SD webui extensions list. I have it installed as an Auto1111 extension and it works great. Best of both worlds!!

It's the best initiation video on ComfyUI i seen actually. Very good work ! thx !

Thank you for this! Very simple to understand and you do a great job of explaining the basics. I just started using Comfy and I love it so far, and want to get into building my own workflows and eventually start doing video, etc... and incorporate it into my photography

that's really cool, visualizing the blocks really makes me feel like i'm understanding every step of the process! definitely will download this tool and play with it, thanks.

You have a really nice manner scott and explain really clearly. Thank you for these

Great video that explains the basics very well. I can't wait to see what happens next - I think I'm going to become a fervent ComfyUI user!

it's always nice to watch a reminder of basics, thanks for the vid!

perfect intro video. not too deep a dive while still being extremely informative and useful. many thanks sir!

great video, can't wait to see further episodes. I look at that as hardcore user of automatic automatic1111 and each example of what is possible vs. not possible is very much appreciate as it allows valid that tool. Fact that we can convert any value into node is chef kiss :)

Thank you so much for breaking it down for us. Looking forward to more content on understanding all the possibilities of comfyUI and SD..

Hi Scott, well after learning to use SD for the last 8 months, I really needed to start learning all over again with Comfy, so as to not fall behind any further..... your video is a fantastic introduction to it, very easy to understand, and presented wonderfully. I can't wait to watch the entire series, and all your other videos. Just as long as I can generate another 8 hours in the day with SD🤭

Thank you so much for this guide Scott! It was comprehensive, easy to follow and well thought out.

As an absolute noob, I want to thank you for explaining the meaning behind the flowcharts. While following your steps, I found that to collapse/expand nodes, you may click on the larger "grey circle" on the title bar.

So, so useful. Thank you. My only observation is that, like many experts, you skip over things that seem simple or obvious to you but may be critcal to people like me who are trying to learn this stuff. But then again I may be in the minority and most of your viewers may be seasoned users? Definitely subscibing.

So many great tips, thanks a lot! Finally found the way to copy nodes and paste them to a new Comfyui workflow!

This video is a hidden gem, really nice overview of the tool.

i'm dablling with IA for some times and just tried Confy UI, didn't had time before. This interface is simply incredible !

Thank you, i just started my new comfyui journey, so far the noodles drive me crazy, got 2 do this over a few times to grasp the basic understanding of it

Fantastic... I can see what my days are going to be spent doing this week. 👍

Thanks! It makes a difference when the creators explain!

Amazing Scott, THIS is exactly what I needed....actual knowledge for understanding! THANK YOU!

Great series. Thanks for putting all this info together.

Great introduction, cant wait for more teaching!

Thanks for this,it was very easy to understand. I was up and running very quickly!

Basically I need to learn nodes for Blender but because lately I've been really focused on AI, this is absolutely two birds with one stone. This isn't learning just Comfy to me, this is starting to finally properly learn digital work flows. So thanks!

This was a very helpful video that got me interested in AI generation on a deeper level. Thanks and keep it up!

Thank you! I finally understand the friggin basics of this. I really needed a guide like this.

Wow, nice intoduction, easy to follow and almost fully understandable how do nodes work

Really great video! I recently discovered what you can do with ai image generators and I'm obsessed. I'm spending a lot of time these days on civitai and whatnot just to look at what people do with different models, because all I have is a CPU. Can't afford a GPU. I've installed ComfyUI and played with the nodes already, but generating a 512x512 image takes about 10 minutes. That is, with default settings. Will watch the other episodes and wait for the times where a CPU will run models just like GPUs do.

Great intro and well presented. Coming from nodes in redshift, blender& c4d, I’m happy to see the power of A1111 but work under the hood for more. Subbed and looking forward to more🎉

This was such a great intro video to help understand the basics. Thank You

Wow. That was amazing. Glad I saved this channel for the tutorials a few days ago. Lets do this!

Thank you .... Excellent, simple, to follow easy

Thank you so much for this video and series. You're the best. No, literally you're the best on this area of content.

Very good tutor. Thank you very much for your clear and concise explanation.

Thanks for this part, can't wait to see the next video :)

Tried pretty much everything to get SDXL running on my potato, this was almost effortless. Runs just fine, but slow on my 4GB VRAM card. Also, like the person below, coming from Blender....we love the nodes!

I recently decided to switch from Auto1111 because I've been hearing that ComfyUI can generate larger images with less VRAM, and your video has been incredibly helpful for getting set up.

Thanks for this, I'm switching to ComfyUI and this video was exactly what I needed.

OMG thank you so much for simple and basic with not just the how but the why!!!!!

Excellent tutorial . I hope in yr next tutorials you will create a workflow for SDXL to include different things like controlnet, inpaint, image2image ie the things we use in A1111. that would be awesome!!!

This was a great video - Helped me get a much better, grounded start! Thank you

Great start tutorial. Helped a lot. Looking fwd to more now :)

Well, now I know what I’ll be playing with tomorrow :) Thanks for this clear video intro!

an excellent introduction, thank you!

Best video and the first video that I understood easily for a newbie! Thanks my main man! too many show offs trying too hard to impress and confusing the newbies !

Woah. This was a really well done video. Coming from other GUI tools I was a bit lost, but this was perfect. Thank you! This tool is incredibly powerful and you blew my mind. This makes the whole process of refining an image very convenient. It goes from reworking/redoing to refining which is something I felt was missing (or not easy) before. This saves tons of time here. I will now need to watch every other video you put out.

Wow I really love this video! Thanks for this intro, I definitely have to try it now that I understand how to start with it. ❤

just as comfy , this is a very powerful video much thanks

Best ComfyUI tutorial so far

Excellent tutorial. Thank you!

"and we'll make that line as straight as we can because we are OCD". Lmao I had to sub after that one

Thank you Scott great introduction 👍

That's an awesome introduction, thank you!

What do I think? Best. Video. Ever. On ComfyAI. You just upped my game by 10X. Thanks!

as a houdini user, node-based tools make me happy. thanks for this

That was an awesome tutorial, really simple to understand.

Great tutorial, thank you very much Scott!

Awesome tutorial, so helpful, thank you!

The best tutorial i ever seen, thanks!

Actually I used lots of "easier" tools before. (I started off with Stability Matrix/Stable Diffusion WebUI) Idk why, since I already knew a bit of visual scripting from UE5, but I just felt like its a hassle and the other tools seemed to be easier. Then i started playing around with it a bit more and stumbled over a couple of your videos. Now finally taking the time to watch this whole playlist to really dive into comfyUI. It seems probably the most capable tool right now.

I just learned something new in a introduction video of comfyui lol. I've been using it for quite some time, playing with controlnet and multiple loras but I've never knew how to use Ksampler Advanced and Primitive... Thanks!

Holy ***kn Moly!!!!! PLUG me in Danno!!! ........this shit here is next level!!!!!! I now have a clearer understanding of all processes and how I can engage and tweak at each step for more control and precision!!! SUBBED!!!!

Thank you so much for this video. I really wanted to start using comfyUI and I found this :D

Just what I was looking for, thanks.

I’ve been trying to figure out comfUI over the last week or so, so I really appreciate this video! While I have a basic understanding of things, a lot of the details, that don’t require fiddling with in automatic1111 I’d love to have explained in more detail. Even definitions of all the terms, like what does the seed actually do. What are Lora’s and when do you use them…some of the technical behind-the-scenes stuff. A video on that would be amazing.

Thank you. Waiting for Episode 2.

this was great, glad I finally gave ComfyUI a try

Wow, this is incredible.

Thank you Scott, You are great!

Really good explanation. Thank you!

Exciting, I've fell in love with the Bing Dall E 3. Need to try this.

Eureka moment. Thank you for this primer!

this was amazing thank you so much for doing this

I could not have asked for a better intro! On my own, I could not find how to add a Lora. I'll be following all of these videos!

You can collapse/uncollapse nodes by clicking on their grey disk on the upper left too. Great video! I got into ComfyUI from A1111 since about 10 days ago because it was probably the 1st one to support SDXL (Comfy is a dev from StabilityAI staff so that's probably why lol) but I'm sure I'll learn a lot with this serie ! :)

Hi Scott, that was actually amazing, I am waiting anxiously for the next videos in this series. As I am just starting out, and understanding the basic concepts and parameters of SD and what does what. Do you suggest me any guides or videos to start with? Like from 0 to Hero with Stable Diffusion etc. Thanks a lot, looking forward.

Thank you very much for this tutorial really appreciate and liked the way you explained Thanks.❤

Thank you for publishing this video! You have saved me another entire week of headaches. For whatever reason 1111's UI runs like crap on my RTX 3060TI FTW3 & haven't been able to figure it out. Using Comfy UI however, it's lightning quick to compared to what it was on the other UI. Honestly wish I would have known about Comfy UI earlier, seeing as I have been a 3D artist for over 14 years, the interface feels quiet at home!

Amazing work man this got my feet wet, ComfyUI is unbelievable.
