Advanced Live Portrait Expressions Pack by OpalSky – Setup and Usage Guide

In the Advanced Live Portrait Expressions Pack, you download and put the exp_data folder in your ./comfyui/output folder. It provides a range of pre-built expressions that can be used with the ComfyUI-AdvancedLivePortrait custom nodes. With these expressions, you can easily adjust expressions to images or create animations by combining expressions together.

Prerequisites

To use this expression pack, you must install the ComfyUI-AdvancedLivePortrait node pack. You can find it on GitHub here:

ComfyUI-AdvancedLivePortrait Node Pack

This node pack is required to load and apply the expressions within ComfyUI.

Setting Up the Expressions Pack

Follow these steps to set up the Advanced Live Portrait Expressions Pack in ComfyUI.

Step 1: Download and Place the Expression Data File

1. Download the .zip file from this page and extract it. This file contains all the pre-configured expressions in a folder named exp_data.

2. Place the File in the Correct Folder
   Once extracted, mode it to your ComfyUI output folder: ./ComfyUI/output

Step 2: Restart ComfyUI

This step is necessary for ComfyUI to load the new expressions and make them available within the node interface.

Step 3: Load and Use Expressions in Your Workflow

1. Open Your Workflow
   Open a new or existing workflow where you plan to use the expressions. (you can use the .json file from the download on this page to pull up the workflow with all the expressions)

2. Add a Load Exp Data (PHM) Node from the ComfyUI-AdvancedLivePortrait node pack. This node will allow you to access the loaded expression data.

3. Select and Pipe Expressions into the Expression Editor Node

• (1 is the full expression; less than 1 will be more subtle)

• Connect the output to the Expression Editor node. Tip:

• You can also make selections in the expression editor in addition to the expression from the 'load exp data' node, allowing you to make more extreme expressions and other combinations not available with the expression editor alone. For example, normally, the highest setting for aaa is 120, but you can use the 'surprised' expression from this pack and add aaa to go further than the editor would normally go. This character is extra surprised 😮. (FYI, you can achieve this by chaining the expression editor nodes, but it tends to lead to worse results)

• I have included a .json and a .png to load up the workflow and see the settings for every expression in the pack. If you are using the editor and a setting won't go as far as you want, you can find an expression with that setting turned up and use it to give you more control over the live portrait nodes!

Customizing and Experimenting

The expressions provide a variety of moods and facial adjustments, and you can combine them with other effects in ComfyUI to create unique animated portraits.

Feedback is welcome. Posting creations to this page is appreciated for the buzz ⚡😊⚡
