ComfyUI Node: ❌ Load TinyBreaker Checkpoint (custom) [Deprecated]

❌ Load TinyBreaker Checkpoint (custom) [Deprecated]:

The LoadTinyBreakerCheckpointCustom node is designed to load TinyBreaker checkpoints with a high degree of customization, allowing you to tailor the loading process to your specific needs. This node is part of the ComfyUI-TinyBreaker suite, which is aimed at exploring the capabilities of the TinyBreaker model—a hybrid model that combines the strengths of PixArt and SD. By using this node, you can experiment with different configurations and parameters to optimize the performance of the TinyBreaker model for your creative projects. The node provides flexibility in selecting various components such as VAE types and resolutions, enabling you to achieve the desired balance between quality and computational efficiency.

❌ Load TinyBreaker Checkpoint (custom) [Deprecated] Input Parameters:

ckpt_name

The ckpt_name parameter specifies the name of the TinyBreaker checkpoint you wish to load. This parameter is crucial as it determines which pre-trained model will be used for your project. The available options are typically listed in the node's interface, and selecting the appropriate checkpoint can significantly impact the quality and style of the generated output.

vae

The vae parameter allows you to choose the quality of the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) used in the process. The VAE is responsible for encoding and decoding images to and from latent space, and its quality can affect the final image output. You can select from options such as "fast" for quicker processing or "high quality" for better results, with "fast" being the default option. The choice of VAE impacts both the visual quality and the computational resources required.

resolution

The resolution parameter lets you set the resolution at which the model operates. Options include "automatic," "512," "1024," "2K," and "4K," with "automatic" being the default. This parameter affects the detail and size of the output images, with higher resolutions providing more detail but requiring more computational power and memory.

❌ Load TinyBreaker Checkpoint (custom) [Deprecated] Output Parameters:

MODEL

The MODEL output represents the primary model used for denoising latent images. This output is essential for generating the final image from the latent space, and its quality and characteristics are influenced by the selected checkpoint and VAE.

VAE

The VAE output is the Variational Autoencoder model used for encoding and decoding images. It plays a critical role in the transformation between image and latent space, affecting the fidelity and quality of the output images.

TRANSCODER

The TRANSCODER output is the model used for converting latent images from the base model to the refiner model. This step is crucial for enhancing the details and quality of the final image, especially when using high-resolution settings.

REFINER_MODEL

The REFINER_MODEL output is used for refining latent images, adding additional detail and quality to the generated output. This model works in conjunction with the transcoder to improve the final image.

REFINER_CLIP

The REFINER_CLIP output is the CLIP model used for embedding text prompts during the refining process. It helps in aligning the generated image with the desired textual description, ensuring that the output matches the creative intent.

GENPARAMS

The GENPARAMS output contains the generation parameters extracted from the metadata of the loaded checkpoint. These parameters provide insights into the settings and configurations used during the generation process, which can be useful for reproducing or adjusting the results.

❌ Load TinyBreaker Checkpoint (custom) [Deprecated] Usage Tips:

• Experiment with different vae settings to find the right balance between quality and speed for your project. The "high quality" option is ideal for final renders, while "fast" is suitable for quick iterations.
• Use the resolution parameter to match the output size to your project's needs. Higher resolutions provide more detail but require more resources, so adjust according to your hardware capabilities.
• Take advantage of the ckpt_name parameter to explore different styles and characteristics offered by various TinyBreaker checkpoints. This can help you achieve diverse artistic effects.

❌ Load TinyBreaker Checkpoint (custom) [Deprecated] Common Errors and Solutions:

Checkpoint not found

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified checkpoint name does not exist in the available list.
• Solution: Ensure that the ckpt_name parameter matches one of the available checkpoints listed in the node's interface. Double-check for any typos or case sensitivity issues.

Insufficient VRAM

• Explanation: This error indicates that the selected resolution or VAE quality requires more VRAM than is available on your system.
• Solution: Lower the resolution or switch to a "fast" VAE option to reduce VRAM usage. Alternatively, consider upgrading your hardware if higher settings are necessary for your work.

Invalid VAE option

• Explanation: This error occurs when an unsupported VAE option is selected.
• Solution: Choose from the available VAE options ("fast" or "high quality") as listed in the node's interface. Ensure that the selection is valid and supported by the node.
