Id installed this before but just from a guide. I managed to create content but then stopped. I'm restarting my journey again thanks to you and this video!

[@PurzBeats]

Added chapters in the Description!

[@chipko]

OH WOW! Yeah I might have worked with ComfyUI before but this video took me to the next level! Thank you (AGAIN!). Looking forward to next episode and animation.

[@huwhitememes]

Catching the replay while I edit!

[@Sylahri]

hey Purz i'm Kobe, this is my second channel, can you maybe do a creative exploration video about the spline editor? I would love to hear what you have to say about it, your thoughts, how you use it and some ideas and explanations. as always thank you for what you're doing

[@ronnykhalil]

Appreciate you

[@adrianfels2985]

My ComfyUI randomly outputs black images with the default workflow and especially with the img2img workflow. I don't see a logic there. Do you know what could cause this?

[@PurzBeats]

Odd one, what GPU do you have, how much VRAM?

[@adrianfels2985]

@@PurzBeats Thank you for your answer! I'm working on Mac M3 Pro with 36GB VRAM and adding "--force-upcast-attention" after "python3 main.py" fixed it for now. I don't really know why, but now it works.

@@adrianfels2985 Unfortunately a lot of this stuff will break for unfixable reasons on the Mac, you basically need an nvidia rtx card to do this stuff effectively locally. Nvidia has the pytorch stuff locked down pretty hard.
