This time we are going back to basics! This is a deep dive into how ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion works. It's more than a basic tutorial, I try to explain how Comfy works underneath.
Please note that this is a test video, let me know what you think and it you'd like me to publish more videos like this together with my usual content.

So always wanted to do "advanced" introduction tutorials... This is a test of what they could be. I'm not sure if I'll do more, depends on the reception I guess. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Thank you. I'm for more of that stuff.

@barrenwardo 6 ай бұрын

TBH, we need more of this. I've seen many tutorials but no one taught about conditioning stuff at all while it was a really essential thing which I learned now. Thank you. Please keep making more.

I'm only half way through this video and needed to pause it to say THANK YOU, Matteo. This channel BY FAR offers the best, most informative SD educational content (for my need, anyway). I am humbled by your expertise and generosity.

I think I learned more about the basics in these 20 minutes than I have in the 3 months or so that I've been using SD. I feel sure that everyone who subscribes to your channel will want more of these-I know I do!

This is the exact type of information I have been looking for ever since starting Comfy. By far the best tutorial I have seen yet. I feel that this is the perfect balance of theory and practical information. It's not often that experts on these things are also great communicators, but you have an incredible talent for both. Thank you.

I like this in depth basics very much and think they stand out from other contributers. Even though I consider myself an intermediate in like getting mostly the results I want, but the how and why was and still is quite obscure. This is actually really helpful! Thank you very much for your work!

@binarybrian 6 ай бұрын

Oh wow. This was amazing. I thought it would be the usual boring how to install models and custom nodes, etc, etc but you went in to how to use the conditioning combine, average and concat nodes and I never realized you could load the unet and clips separately. So much great information and details here. Would love to see more. Thank you.

Thanks so much Matteo, many realise how much you are doing for this platform and how deep your knowledge is of this but to take time to produce a well presented and precise tutorial that has explained many steps / prcosesses that many of us have been having to simply accept without knowing quite what they do is very much appreciated.

As a Stable Diffusion noob the temptation to stick with tutorials for "fast" or "easy" methods is too real, but naturally the shortcuts come at the expense of truly understanding what goes on under the hood and how to have even greater control over generations. Detailed but beginner-friendly breakdowns like this are a godsend! Thank you so much!

Please, more. Even after using Comfy somewhat extensively, the explanation given here of conditioning and the options for combining multiple prompts filled in some knowledge gaps and most importantly provided a clear explanation of why and how they have the impact that they do.

Well clearly people want more of this! Me included, learned a lot in 20min then a whole years worth of average tutorials and content. Some of us want to dig a little deeper and have a better understanding. This should be considered fundamental. Well done Matteo! Eager for the next video. Now if you will excuse me I am of to go play with those conditioning nodes!

@wellshotproductions6541 6 ай бұрын

I just rewatched your video. Such great content. What you said in your intro: (paraphrase): "This will be a basic intro to ComfyUI...**but also about generative machine learning in general**". Yes please! Like many others, I've had a blast paying around with SD and generative text to image...the chance to learn more about it from such a great teacher is awesome! If I can learn and understand the machine learning concepts better...Thank you!

I really apprecate the approach you have taken to this video. I've been using ComfyUI and SD models for 6 months, but this has given me such a fresh perspective on how it really works under the hood. Instead of blindly prompting with a trial and error approach, you've helped me understand how the conditioning really works, and how I can achieve better results based on logic instead of guess work. Really looking forward to seeing more such videos and seeing a mix of both basic and advanced content!

This video earned my subscription! Sometimes the best foundational tutorials on the basics come from the most advanced understanding of the subject. I’m a beginner who’s been watching these tutorials for a while now wondering, how do they know what node to choose? Why connect this node to that node? You need the basic building blocks to understand how to become an architect. Great work!

Hi Matt3o. Videos like this one are pure gold. I have found it really difficult to find fundamental information about SD and ComfyUI - fundamental and at the same time easy to understand and follow. Without a deep understanding of the whole process, generating images is a random play of luck instead of a creative process where the user controls the final result. Thank you for your work. I hope to see more videos like this from you.

@HollywoodCameraWork 4 ай бұрын

Thank you, thank you, for these proper introductions to ComfyUI. Most other tutorials are either far too advanced, or far too simple and leaving the rest to superstitious settings. Your videos have the right level of detail to get a foothold in SD/ComfyUI as someone who actually would like to understand it. For example, nobody so far bothered to explain the relationship between the latent space and the VAE, either because it's too obvious for them to say, or because they don't know. Thank you for good tutorials.
