1. Workflow Overview
This workflow converts real photos into minimalist gradient-style illustrations by:
Triple ControlNet (Canny/Depth/Scribble) for structure preservation
IPAdapter style transfer for gradient color effects
Chibi LoRA enhancing cartoonish style
Outputs HD illustrations at 896x1184 resolution
2. Core Models
Model Name | Function | Key Files/Params |
|---|---|---|
RealVisXL Turbo | Base model (realistic→illustration) |
|
XLSLSH-Chibi LoRA | Flat style enhancement | Strength=0.3 |
CLIP-ViT-H-14 Encoder | Image feature extraction |
|
3. Key Nodes
Node Name | Function | Installation |
|---|---|---|
Triple ControlNet | Canny edge + Depth + XDoG scribble | Install |
IPAdapterAdvanced | Style transfer (weight=0.3) | Install |
Scribble_XDoG_Preprocessor | Hand-drawn sketch generation | Install |
4. Workflow Structure
Group 1: Input Processing
LoadImage: Resizes input to 896x1184
Canny/Depth/XDoG: Generates control maps
Group 2: Style Transfer
IPAdapter: Injects gradient style (prompt: "Flat gradient illustration, beige background")
LoRA Loader: Applies Chibi style
Group 3: Generation
ControlNetApplyAdvanced: Multi-control (edge=0.4/depth=0.2/scribble=0.2)
KSampler: Uses DPM++ 2M (30 steps, CFG=7)
5. Inputs & Outputs
Required Inputs:
Any real photo (clear subject recommended)
Style prompt (e.g., "Clean modern design with flat gradients")
Outputs:
PNG illustration (896x1184)
