ILLUMINATE AI — DMD2 CREATOR WORKFLOW

A clean and modular ComfyUI workflow built around fast SDXL DMD2 generation, controlled detail enhancement and a high-quality final upscale.

The workflow follows a clear processing order:

Base Generation → Base Preview → Face Detailer → Eyes Detailer → DMD Refinement → SeedVR2 Final Upscale

The main goal is to keep the workflow fast and easy to use while still providing enough control for higher-quality final images.

Main Features

• Fast SDXL DMD2-based image generation

• Dedicated positive and negative prompt sections

• Free LoRA Loader for styles, characters and concepts

• Base Preview before running the full processing chain

• Optional Face Detailer

• Optional Eyes Detailer

• Mild full-image DMD Refinement Pass

• SeedVR2 final upscale

• Fast Group Bypasser for optional modules

• Only the final processed image is saved

• Built-in setup, download and usage guide

Base Generation

The base image is generated with a fast DMD-oriented setup.

Recommended starting values:

• Steps: 10–15

• CFG: 1.5

• Sampler: LCM

• Scheduler: Karras or Beta

• Denoise: 1.0

The workflow includes a dedicated Base Preview, allowing you to check the composition before running the Detailers and final upscale.

If the base image is fundamentally wrong, changing the prompt or seed is usually better than expecting the Detailers to rebuild the entire image.

Face Detailer

The optional Face Detailer is designed to improve facial structure, skin detail and overall clarity without heavily changing the original expression or identity.

Recommended denoise range:

• 0.24–0.28

Higher denoise values can alter facial proportions or create an overly processed appearance.

Eyes Detailer

The optional Eyes Detailer focuses specifically on eye clarity and structure.

Recommended denoise range:

• 0.16–0.20

Lower values usually produce more natural results, while stronger values can make the eyes overly sharp or artificial.

DMD Refinement Pass

The second sampling stage is intended as a mild full-image refinement rather than a complete regeneration.

Recommended values:

• Steps: 4–5

• CFG: 1.0

• Denoise: 0.10–0.15

A value around 0.12 is recommended as a balanced starting point.

Higher values can exaggerate skin texture, pores, muscles, veins or other small details.

SeedVR2 Final Upscale

SeedVR2 is used as the final processing stage.

Recommended output size:

• 2800–3200 px for general use

• 4000 px for an optional Ultra output

Very high resolutions can increase render time, VRAM usage and invented micro-details.

Recommended Quality Preset

Base Generation

• 10–12 steps

• CFG 1.5

Face Detailer

• Denoise 0.25–0.28

Eyes Detailer

• Denoise 0.16–0.20

DMD Refinement

• Denoise 0.12–0.14

SeedVR2

• 2800–3200 px

This preset prioritizes natural detail, stable skin texture and expression preservation.
