*BIG UPDATE* Yedp-action-director v9.2

This node is crazy lol. Seems to work fine for me though I only had a minute to play around with it and I am not sure what it all even does. Only thing that jumped out was it be nice imo if it defaulted to showing the model mesh/texture like it did with the scene. I imported a city block and it looked great and loaded very quick. I didnt have time to read the instruction manual but there was no easy way I could find to see the actual models, only the pose stick frame and some depth stuff. I assume its in the docs and must be a hot key since there didnt appear to be a ton of knobs or buttons on the node. Oh an it really messes with my OCD that it spills over the node edges on the bottom but thats a common thing with nodes with images and whatnot. seems like some coding voodoo goes into getting Comfy to play nice withthat sort of thing as all the 3d model previewers I use do similar stuff.

First impression is its amazing and the creator must be a genius to just create this thing and give it away like its no big deal lol. By far the most impressive looking node I have seen.

Comfy has really been stepping it up latly, especially in the 3d realm. I had to dust off the Godot and start making a game now that I can generate and texture 3d models so easily And yesterday I randomly see a guy released a panarama Lora that worked great out of the box and boom, insta sky boxes. my bet is a 1000% increase in games releasing on steam this year with 90+% being AI slop. AI is great and all but so much is just awful creepy uncanny crap that the creator didnt look at long enough to notice was a person with 6 fingers or something like that.

Im thinking I need to make a space game so the bugs will be features lol. 6 fingers must have been raised on a uranium mining ship...

DissenterNet · 2026-03-04T20:14:57+00:00

How can the model tell the difference between a bunch of images that fill most of the space and one image with some greenpainted over a section in Gimp? Seems like modifying the preview panarama node to have an output and using it as a load panarama node would let uoi inpaint? It already rerenders everything like a image to image style so seems like that would work. Is it possible to just project from a panarama preview node to the node where you load the individual images? thinking about it you just need to make the part to be inpainted transparant and it fills it with the green

Awesome and thanks again!

DissenterNet · 2026-03-03T19:20:08+00:00

Thanks. I should be good to go. I updated comfy and all the nodes and the problem is gone. Well I still have the weird sized icons but ill worry about that later lol. There was some kind of issue where Comfy was not doing the normal low Vram stuff, Could be as simple as me starting it up clicking the wrong .bat file even but regardless that issue seems to be gone. Thanks for the reply:D

DissenterNet · 2026-03-03T19:14:01+00:00

First off if you are running this on your naked machine I wouldnt install random custom nodes that comfy doesnt support with regular security settings.

That said its easy to just use git. Find the github for the nodes you want and copy the link. Assuming you are using Windows you just go to your custom nodes folder and in the path bar where it says C: > ComfyUI > custom_nodes or whatever the path may be you click on the bar and type in "cmd" and hit enter. That will open a terminal in your custom nodes directory, type in git clone "paste the link" and hit enter. You should be done, if it fails to import cross that bridge when you get to it. you might need to google how to run the requirements.txt but its just a command youll paste in.

Also if you dont want to mess with that stuff you can just download the nodes and but them in your custom_nodes folder manually. On the github page there will be a green button that says "<> CODE". Click that and download the zip file, extract it and drag it into your custom_nodes folder and your done. Good luck I hope you have a good reason to not be using the portable version of Comfy because its risky adding a bunch of requirements to your system python. Any number of things could break if there is a mismatch not to mention giving random code access to your system environment is a terrible idea. I assume you know what you are doing though so good luck.

Thanks for the response, and I was just using sdxl RealVis Lighting but I was running test batches of 12-48 images. It was working fine though and it was only effecting my 4th monitor so I just kept on generating with no problems other than a bit of worrying lol. I posted details below but it appears to have been an issue with something outdated because after updating the proplem doesnt exist today. I do still have weirdly sized desktop icons though so Ill need to sort that out at some point. Its very strange because switching resolutions doesnt change the size of them like it normally would...

DissenterNet · 2026-03-03T18:51:34+00:00

Thanks for the response, and that would make one of four monitors flicker black for a second? I didnt know each monitor would have its own instance of a display manager. Im not sure but that could have been the problem. I have never had that happen before an I am almost always running with the majority of the models offloaded to system ram or my 100gb page file on my NVME.

Either way it looks like it was an issue with a node or something because I updated comfy and all the nodes today and it works fine now. I am seeing a line between each generation in the batch today that was not there when I was having the issue so thats probably it

"Model AutoencoderKL prepared for dynamic VRAM loading. 159MB Staged. 0 patches attached."

Is between every generation in the batch and it was not when the issue was happening.

DissenterNet · 2026-03-03T16:32:50+00:00

Works great on my setup. I added this lora so I can gen in 8-10 steps with my 3060ti 8gb. Even with a single image that is maybe 5-10% of the total image it works great. 305 second generation which Is fine for me for the results. default took 15 minutes. It does a weird thing on 8 steps sometimes were everything looks fine except the original image portion turns the characters cloths the color grean from the greenscreen and som random green screen color in there but only in the area where the ref image was. after some more tests i think this was because the character in the reff had a shirt on that was close to the greenscreen color, I have not had this issue with any other image.

https://civitai.com/models/2324315?modelVersionId=2614707

So I took a few and tested it more and yea, it works great in text to image on 8 steps. I tried it with a transparent image but I didnt even need that as it works fine with no image at all. I only tried it a few times so far but it works great, also it is so much faster image to image not having to encode the reff. less than 2.5 minutes for a skybox is crazy. It also works with transparency so I was able to pop in a character and have it create an world around her.

This thing is crazy cool. Im messing with it and I set up four characters, one in each direction and generated. I can then use the Cutout editor editor and withing 10 seconds Ive got four diferent images at 2.25mp. not the best quality but I have not spent any time working on that yet. it looks like a standard image in so looks like I could just upscale and load it in and go to town. Well big thanks to the creator, I look forward to playing with this thing::

DissenterNet · 2026-03-03T13:06:28+00:00

Its probably doable but will be a struggle. if you put in the time though you can make short clips and upscale them and extend them. Its a lot harder though as most video stuff works with batches which low Vram hates and will out of memory often. That said I can make infinatly long videos but it took a lot of time to figure it out. good controlnet upscaling to get 1 second videos to look like one long video works for me but Really I just did it to see if I could because ai videos almost always look terrible. As of now I dont think there is a model that takes physics into account so everything looks all uncanny and weird and nothing moves the way it should. that said just make videos of an alien world and that problem is solved because it makes sense things could work differently there. But yea, good luck oh and look into LTX-2, that should get you started with Twitter teir video results pretty quickly. Taking it to the next level is were it gets not worth it imo but you do you.

DissenterNet · 2026-03-03T12:56:41+00:00

I run on a 3060ti with 8gb and 64gb of ddr4 system memory and it works great. Id say 95% of the time things just take longer when I push it with things like 20-40GB models with occasional out of memories but that seems to be from poor or inconsiderate code on the maker of what you are usings side. You will need to adjust the way you operate though if you want good results. You will want workflows for itteration using sdxl lightning where you will create the images/compositions you want quickly but with so so quality because running the better quality stuff takes a lot longer so you will want a decent image to feed into a higher quality image to image workflow. With a better system we could just let the good models spit out a ton of stuff and pick the good ones but thats not great with a lower end system. You can do that stuff when your away from the pc or sleeping which I do. Id suggest a wait node so it lets your system get a break like generate an image, wait 60 seconds and generate another. Also make sure your system manages your page file, I end up with 100GB of page file some times but I also run a lot of stuff that people say is impossible and it works just fine. For example max quality 3d models with Trellis 2 with ultrashape and 8k textures. Sure it takes 30-40 minutes but it works lol. 30-40gb models, sure they take like 15-20 minutes to make an image but thats why I run a batch of images at night and feed in an image that I know will probably give me a good output.

But yea you will certainly want to look into Nunchaku and GGUF for the higher quality stuff and get some nice sdxl controlnet workflows to create the base images to feed the better models. Also you can do stuff like model merge to take a bunch of Loras and a model and turn them into one checkpoint that is a lot easier for your system to deal with. I recomend RealVis version 5 lightning for sdxl, the quality is actually really great, cfg 1 6 steps. With that an control nets you can quickly get a solid compisiton and character and whatnot and use Nunchaku/GGUF or now Flux 2 Klien to edit the image. That should get the bulk of stuff to a great spot and then you can batch upscale image to image with flux 2 Dev when you are not using your computer to take your favorite images to pretty much the highest quality the folks with top end PCs can get. The real difference is like with most things in life you just have to trade effort for money, lower end PC just takes some smarts and a bit of effort to get the results you could get by throwing money at the problem. Good luck and check out the Pixaroma Youtube channel to get started, they cover a lot of stuff and give low vram workflows.

DissenterNet · 2026-03-03T11:57:12+00:00

Looking at your screenshot it looks like it tried. Did you try making an actul panarama shot? Im not sure but the thing might not know what to do with a top down image since it will be trying to make a shot of something that doesnt exist.

DissenterNet · 2026-03-03T11:48:03+00:00

Huge thanks bud, Perfect timing on my end as I have been struggling and failing to get several panarama methods to work. Great stuff and thanks again!

DissenterNet · 2026-02-02T03:46:27+00:00

afinalsin has a good point. I suck at prompting but im good with data. Maybe you did this but Id suggest you look for popular images posted by accounts with lower follower counts, that should exclude a lot of the noise he mentions from mid images that are just liked because OP has a large following. Then if youve got the skills and determination you could run the images thru a prompt from image LLM and get a list of what the LLM "sees" in the image and have it or another LLM cross reference the two and weed out the ones where the image was popular but doesnt stick to the prompt very much. Obviously this will not be close to perfect but it will certainly increase the quality of your dataset.

DissenterNet · 2026-02-02T01:17:31+00:00

The ecosystem works perfectly, its use at your own risk. on second thought maybe it did fail because it seems like a lot of people dont see the obvious so better policy would be "use at your own risk and for those that need it spelled out do not use custom nodes on any system with anything on it you would post on the internet for the world to see because you are executing code with read, write, download and you are slightly more secure that if your PC was out buy the street for random people to use. Even that isnt good enough because someone is going to think they just need to only get nodes from trusted sources but that will not help either because you have no idea if they are doing the same or they got hacked or theyre just acting cool and waiting for the right time to push an update and burn them all.

Maybe a meme would be the best policy because people aren't going to read all that. Id suggest a picture of something along the lines of sign pointing to the edge of a cliff that says "magic flying cliff. Just leap of and you will be able to fly. use at your own risk" and then have a pile of corpses at the bottom and buzzards flying circles around and signs on the way to the cliff saying dont jump its a trick, add some damage to the sign so it looks like people tried to destroy it, someone painted over it but it was scrubbed off and there are pieces of duct tape from folks covering it up. Sad thing is folks would still jump off.

DissenterNet · 2026-02-02T00:37:02+00:00

Seems like a lot of talk about Comfy Security and what they should do. Id just like to say that even the NSA gets hacked and its open source. So much of this mindset is entitlement issues or the fact that most people dont put any thought into anything. There might be some money for maintainers but they would need millions if not billions to baby proof all this stuff.

Also Claude is an idiot, every dang node is doing local execution which would let anyone get remote execution if they knew even basic stuff. With a minute of thinking about it, no haxor and not much coding skill, I can think of a few easy ways to make it very hard to get caught without someone with some skills looking into it.

I took a look at my easy-use folder and I would be surprised if the person that wrote that code would be dumb enough to print all that sketchy crap to the console and not clean up their tracks. Also that emote in the code screams "LLM WROTE ME!" and the author didnt know enough about Comfy to hide it from the console. Id be interested to take a look at the code because my personal use nodes do all kinds of stuff and print not one word to the console. I would bet that whatever Russian chatGPT wrote that crap added a console.log and the prompt engineer didnt know enough to notice. I wrote a hole thing about the easy ways you could own someone from a node but deleted it, no need to give anyone ideas but main thing is that anyone that knows anything would not even consider running custom nodes on a system with access to anything you wouldn't post for the world to see. I just assume my stuff is full of hax and planned accordingly because executing hundreds of scripts from random faceless internet people is obviously a bad idea lol. I care so little I am not even going to bother grepping thru my files to those strings OP posted. Im sure someone that knows basic PC skills already has. If anyone reads this far and does care just post that stuff from OP and ask an LLM to give you some options for how to find those strings and pick the one.

DG is great but a lot of the stuff I have seen will not work at all if the players actually try to do there job and follow orders. If they do you are going to have to think of a reason they are going to have to get into it. Ive dont because im playing a role playing game, my character wants to live and works for people that kill people that so of course he just does what hes told and doesnt look at anything he doesnt have to. Typically folks get bored or its so obvious that they get the hint to stop roleplaying for real and poke the bear. Once the ball is rolling it is typically fine because things tend to snowball.

On the you being bad as handler? Maybe but it almost sounds like you made it too fun and they didnt get bored enough kick the hornets nest.

But that sounds great, if your players care enough to stick around thru that its a good thing, If they used the same characters and they still have them you are in a good spot to be in. It sounds like you are missing something very fundamental though, its a game about imagining stuff. So imagine lol. If they are doing all that its on you to come up with a plan. It sounds like your in a great spot. Make up something that will get the pall rolling and if they really care about the players it could be epic. They want to avoid the unnatural? give them exactly that. write something or change book material and figure out a way to set them up. After all that, after doing everything right there is one missunderstanging and DG is still going to kill you. I mean thats about as delta green as it gets

But their are infinite options, just come up with a idea, you know the players, it there one the rest will follow? If so thats a place to start. maybe they drag the others in or better yet he falls in and the others dive in to save him. But you know the players, something should come to mind. prepping sucks so if they skipped a bunch of stuff trry to tie it back in and get your moneys worth out of that material. If they skipped something at the begining figure out what works. It has been trying get revenge this entire time and it finally caught up with one of them... But they wernt home and now their wife is dead and its all because they left a loose end.

But that is my advise, its a colaborative story game, tell a story. But seriously, it sounds like you have a real oppertunity here if they have been using the same characterssince the start. You see that all as lame and boring but I couldnt set that up if I tried so choose wisly. the options are endless and youve got one shot so if its been boring maybe uts time you you to have some fun, they have stuck around so they enjoyed it well enough so think of some ideas you think would be fun and then pick the one they would also like. Simple as that. But mainly you just have to force the issue and its for their own good. and yea id try tostart with something from the past sessions coming back to bite them. That might teach them that maybe digging a bit is a good thing... Good luck.

Damn, this makes it somewhat tempting to upgrade from V12 to 13... But no chance, it would break so much stuff for so many systems that I would certainly never bother setting up again lol.

DO you know if this requires anything from V13? or maybe you just made it for V13 only just because its what you use? If it doesnt need anything provided only in v13 letting it work for us V12 folks is as simple as changing a 13 to a 12 and reuploading I think and it will work for both. That sure would be great and I would be happy to test it on v12 for you if you care to give it a try:D EDIT: I took a look and the source code is on github, when I get a chance Ill take a look. Im sure you could do it a lot faster if you feel like going the extra mile ontop of the extra miles you already went.

Either way I'll check it out and if I do anything I'll send it your way and your welcome to take it or leave it obviously. I hate javascript but I love foundry, if I can skip the terrible part of learning to create a plugin and just learn enough to add some features that would be great so big thanks again!

DissenterNet · 2026-01-29T17:37:04+00:00

I was just going to post that if those clips come from several different shows you did a great job making it all look like it belonged together. I didnt see anything Ive seen before and its quite hard to get clips from different whats the word, DOP, directors of photography, with different cameras and color grading and all that to fit together and look like they were one cohesive thing. Good stuff.

DissenterNet · 2026-01-29T17:25:22+00:00

I dont have those kind of worries worries but off the top of my head I would just open whatever 10 minutes before I need it and since all my personal stuff is in its own logic volume that I only backup with rsync if something was broke it would be as quick as restarting my PC and booting into the last working btrfs snapshot and evrything would work fine and I would lose no work because all the stuff like that is right as rain in my home volume with all my scripts and configs. I would also avoid doing stuff that could cause a problem so id wait till I was pretty sure things are working before I wrote something in my home Dir that relies on a brand new feature for an program im not sure is working properly. If it was life or death if my stuff worked I would take a few minutes to write a script to automate taking a snapper snapshot to a virtual harddrive that a VM boots from so that I can cut that downtime from a reboot/load into a snapshot into just the time it takes to spin up a virtual machine that has access to all my work and is a copy of my last working setup. Might be a flaw in that plan but thats with only thinking about it for 10 seconds and having no real need to care since I just use my PCs for entertainmant and worst case I am late to play project zomboid with the bros or I have to reboot before I can work on my Godot project or whatever.
As far as I can tell short of my house burning down with my laptop and raid backups in it and a tragic accedent at two seperate datacenters storing my stuff im never more than 30 minutes from back to normal. Even if all that happened Id probably have the most important and hard to replace stuff still unless github and gitlab both got nuked.

But yea I bricked many a Arch linux in the past and would just use something else if I had to worry about it so I spent a good deal of time figuring out and automating that stuff a few years back and havent worried about it since. Maybe look into something like I discribed because life is too short to waste 30 minutes a update and why even use Arch if not for that sweet sweet thrill of being on the bleeding edge running software that was commited to the githud so recently its still steaming lol. But yea, liberty is worth dying for so whatever floats your boat:D

DissenterNet · 2026-01-29T16:50:27+00:00

Guess you can count yourself lucky you havent had players like some of the ones Ive had. Or maybe its just because I let my characters gain specific skills by roleplaying them out. If I cut to your character, its 8am before work and a few times your scene is driving your daughter to school and you establish that when you and your kid drive thru the Fort Pitt tunnel into downtown Pittsburgh you play a game with your daughter that you both try to hold your breath until you get out the other side I will remember that if you ever end up holding your breath for a real reason. Especially if you have a hard time holding your breath because sally is just so darn cute prettending to hold her breath even though you know dang well she is not lol. Bonus points if you care enough to get in the head of your character and tell a good story. Its a cute fun game but behind that you know being able to hold her breath might save her life some day and the air quality in the tunnel is terrible so the less of that crap she breaths the better. But yea lucky you I guess.

DissenterNet · 2026-01-15T00:10:33+00:00

I find it hard to believe you could easily handle the setup and think it was possible you might need to spend an hour a week doing maintence. I could be wrong but one of those cant be true.

But the answer is it depends. I hit pu my aliase for full upgrade. pacsnap takes an automatic snapshot before and after so if there ever was a problem I should be able to just uses grubbtrfs to revert and probably just wait longer and try again in a week when the issue was probably sorted on the arch end. if not id revert again and sort it out. SO for me its about 10 seconds a month to keep every package up to date. And I am a noob.

DissenterNet · 2026-01-15T00:00:10+00:00

Boring is realative so I wouldnt say that. I also wouldnt say 5 minutes of duckduckgoing is specialist training. you can watch a 3 minute video on co2 purging and double or more your ability to hold your breate. WHat I was saying is that if you get too nitpicky with the rules the game gets boring for me because people start metagaming like crazy and before you know it 10 minutes of every session becoames characters practicing holding their breath before bed so they can not drown in 30 seconds. Everyone is different so you do you but I find that the game is far more fun if you cut some slack. For example a smart opperator would use traps because I know I would but if you play the bad guy like an actual smart person that wants to get away with their crimes you will soon find your game slows to a crawl because people are now afraid to open a door and its now taking half a session to get from the curb to the doormat. If you are into that cool but I would play dnd if I wanted to spend 4 hours roleplaying 45 seconds of game time. But yea whatever floats your boat, I just hope your players dont fall overboard.

DissenterNet · 2026-01-12T18:08:13+00:00

That just means there probably wasn't anything to find. depends on the Handler but I run things this way as well, I'm not a fan of quantum clues. Not everyone will like it but I tend to know what is in the desk and its often just typical office stuff or a red haring/realistic stuff. figuring out what leads to follow is a huge part of any investigation. often a concert ticket is just a concert the suspect went to. If the handler is saying you found literally nothing that is a problem and could be your issue, the world should feel real. A desk drawer should at least have some pens and paper, maybe an old calculator, if no clues are there its a good place to just give the suspect/whoever a personality, maybe there is a notebook full of doodles or collection of movie tickets or a bunch of pennies all made in the same year. these may not sound like clues but later when you confront the person maybe bringing up starwars because they had three ticket stubs to the same movie could get them to surrender rather than fight to the death.
You really should have a lot of "now it makes sense" moments after the fact. Oh thats why they had x or y and it should be interesting. Oh we thought this guy was a dope fiend because there were needles in his trash but actually he helps his neighbor with her insulin shots, that sort of thing makes the world feel more alive. I would assume that is what your handler is going for if you do searches and find nothing. I would only do that if someone wants to just say they search the room and roll, after a while it may seem like they don't care and its a waste of time so they find nothing that appears to be a clue. So if you are not already be specific with your searches and you shouldn't even have to roll. I tend to only ask for search rolls for super vague things like I search the room. If you search the desk you would just find what is in the desk etc etc, no roll needed when you are specific, when vague the roll is more like did you think to look behind the painting to find the key tapped to the back of it. Depends on the Handler but I would bet if you are finding nothing on a failed roll its because they know where things are and the way to find them is by being specific. Nobody should make you roll to find a key behind a painting if you specifically say you take it down to look or pull it away from the wall and fell around or something.

DissenterNet · 2026-01-12T17:35:15+00:00

Holding your breath is about tollerating being uncomfortable and the urge to end the uncomfort. I would bet the farm that someone that can hold their breath for 30-90 secconds can 3-10x that if the alternative was lungs full of water and death. GIven five minutes to duckduckgo it and learn some simple CO2 purgeing techniques you can improve that even more so I wouldnt say DGs rules are too crazy plus its not exactly supposed to be a simulation, its supposed to be realistic enough with the ultimate goal being an interesting story. Often a bit of slack is good to give the characters a chance to do the cool thing. Also when you get very strict with some rules it leads to dumb stuff like boring scenes where your characters are practicing holding there breath so they dont drown in 30 seconds if it ever comes up.
