1. Workflow Overview
Purpose: Redirect lighting in realistic portraits using ICLight technology.
Core Models:
ChilloutMix-Ni: Base photorealism modeliclight_sd15_fcon.safetensors: ICLight-specific UNet for light control
2. Key Nodes
Node Name | Function | Installation |
|---|---|---|
| Load ICLight control model | Download to |
| Inject lighting conditions | Bundled with ICLight plugin |
| Image-latent conversion | Built-in ComfyUI |
3. Workflow Structure
Input Phase:
Load image (e.g.,
untitled-11.jpg)Convert to latent via
VAEEncode
Lighting Control:
Set light weight in
ICLightConditioning(default=0.18215)Positive prompt:
"Masterpiece,8K,Highly Detailed portrait"
Generation:
KSampler(30 steps, Euler Ancestral) renders final image
4. Input/Output
Inputs:
Image: 768x1024 recommended
Light intensity: Adjust via
ICLightConditioningslider (0-1)
Output: Real-time preview in ComfyUI
5. Notes
Dependencies:
Required model:
iclight_sd15_fcon.safetensors(~2GB)Base model must be SD1.5-compatible (e.g.,
ChilloutMix)
Troubleshooting:
Weak lighting effects → Increase
ICLightConditioningweightArtifacts → Reduce CFG scale (current=7)
