VNCCS - Visual Novel Character Creation Suite

VNCCS is NOT just another workflow for creating consistent characters, it is a complete pipeline for creating sprites for any purpose. It allows you to create unique characters with a consistent appearance across all images, organise them, manage emotions, clothing, poses, and conduct a full cycle of work with characters.

Many people want to use neural networks to create graphics, but making a unique character that looks the same in every image is much harder than generating a single picture. With VNCCS, it's as simple as pressing a button (just 4 times).

Character Creation Stages

The character creation process is divided into 5 stages:

1. Create a base character

2. Clone any existing character

3. Create clothing sets

4. Create emotion sets

5. Generate finished sprites

6. Create a dataset for LoRA training (optional)

If you find my project useful, please consider supporting it! I work on it completely on my own, and your support will allow me to continue maintaining it and adding even more cool features!

Installation

Find VNCCS - Visual Novel Character Creation Suite in Custom Nodes Manager or install it manually:

1. Place the downloaded folder into ComfyUI/custom_nodes/

2. Launch ComfyUI and open Comfy Manager

3. Click "Install missing custom nodes"

4. Alternatively, in the console: go to ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ and run git clone https://github.com/AHEKOT/ComfyUI_VNCCS.git

Required Models

VNCCS requires the following models in ComfyUI. Make sure they are installed in the correct directories:

Stable Diffusion Checkpoints models/checkpoints/)

- Any illustrious based model.

- Should work on any SDXL model, but not tested.

LoRA Models models/loras/)

- vn_character_sheet_v4.safetensors

- DMD2/dmd2_sdxl_4step_lora_fp16.safetensors

- vn_character_sheet.safetensors

- IL/mimimeter.safetensors

- QWEN/all_loras_from_here

ControlNet Models models/controlnet/)

- SDXL/AnytestV4.safetensors

- SDXL/IllustriousXL_openpose.safetensors

Face Detection Models models/ultralytics/bbox/ and models/ultralytics/segm/)

- bbox/face_yolov8m.pt

- bbox/face_yolov9c.pt

- segm/face_yolov8m-seg_60.pt

SAM Models models/sams/)

- sam_vit_b_01ec64.pth

Upscale Models models/upscale_models/)

- 4x_APISR_GRL_GAN_generator.pth

- 2x_APISR_RRDB_GAN_generator.pth

All models must be placed in the standard ComfyUI directories according to their type.
