ComfyUI Extension: Dobidop ComfyStereo

ComfyStereo Introduction

ComfyStereo is an innovative extension designed to enhance your experience with stereo images and videos. It builds upon the Automatic1111 stereo script, adding advanced features like edge-aware and direction-aware blurring of the depth map. This extension is particularly useful for AI artists who want to create more immersive and visually appealing 3D content. By using ComfyStereo, you can achieve smoother transitions and reduce artifacts in your stereo images, making them more realistic and engaging.

How ComfyStereo Works

At its core, ComfyStereo works by manipulating depth maps to create stereo images. A depth map is a grayscale image where each pixel's brightness represents its distance from the viewer. ComfyStereo uses this information to generate two slightly different images—one for each eye—creating a 3D effect when viewed together. The extension enhances this process by applying edge-aware and direction-aware blurring, which helps to smooth out harsh transitions and reduce visual artifacts. This results in a more seamless and natural 3D experience.

ComfyStereo Features

ComfyStereo offers a range of features that can be customized to suit your artistic needs:

• Stereo Image Node: This feature allows you to create stereo images with enhanced depth perception. You can adjust parameters like separation, divergence, and stereo balance to fine-tune the 3D effect.
• DeoVR View Node: This node lets you view your creations in DeoVR, a popular VR video player. By setting up remote control in DeoVR, you can easily launch and view your images and videos directly from ComfyStereo.
• Depth Map Blurring: This feature reduces artifacts and harsh transitions in your stereo images. You can enable adaptive blurring by setting the 'depth_map_blur' to True, which applies a sophisticated blurring technique to the depth map.
• Infill Methods: ComfyStereo provides various infill methods to fill gaps in your images. Options range from simple methods like "No Fill" to more complex ones like "Polylines Soft," which preserves structure better.

ComfyStereo Models

ComfyStereo does not specifically mention different models in the provided context. However, it offers various methods and settings that can be adjusted to achieve different results in your stereo images.

What's New with ComfyStereo

The latest updates to ComfyStereo include improvements in depth map blurring and stereo distortion. These enhancements allow for more precise control over the 3D effect, resulting in higher quality and more realistic stereo images. The addition of new interpolation methods also provides more options for customizing your creations.

Troubleshooting ComfyStereo

If you encounter issues while using ComfyStereo, here are some common problems and solutions:

• Low CPU Utilization: If you notice that your CPU is not being fully utilized, try updating Python and ComfyUI-Manager. This has resolved the issue for some users.
• DeoVR Setup Issues: Ensure that "Enable remote control" is set to true in DeoVR's developer settings. Also, make sure you have an image or video open in DeoVR before using the node, as it won't work from the main menu screen.
