ComfyUI Detailer Hook & Cycle Features Tutorial Guide

This article introduces the powerful Detailer Hook features and the newly added cycle functionality in ComfyUI workflows.

Promptus Studio Comfy (PSC) builds upon the open-source ComfyUI framework, offering a browser-based, cloud-powered interface via CosyFlows (no-code), real-time collaboration, and access to advanced models like Gemini Flash, HiDream, and Hunyuan3D.

These features apply across DetailerForeach, MaskDetailer, and FaceDetailer, giving creators precision and control for AI-generated artwork.

Understanding The Cycle Feature In ComfyUI Workflows ⚡

The cycle feature repeatedly applies the Detailer within your workflow at the latent stage—no VAE encode/decode needed—resulting in faster processing and better quality retention.

• Use Case: Modify a character (e.g., change super girl’s armor to metal, enhance damage effects).
• Workflow:
  • Start with cycle = 1 for baseline results.
  • Increase to cycle = 3 to strengthen damage details on armor, yielding more pronounced, realistic effects.

Utilizing DenoiseSchedulerDetailerHook For Gradual Refinement 🎯

The DenoiseSchedulerDetailerHook controls denoising across cycles:

• Parameters:
  • target_denoise (e.g., 0.3) causes denoise value to decrease from 0.5 to 0.3 over iterations.
• Benefits:
  • Strong initial changes in early cycles.
  • Gradual detail refinement in later cycles.
  • Better overall image coherence and quality.

Implementing Noise Injection Detailer Hook For Enhanced Details 🧩

Noise Injection Detailer Hook injects controlled noise into latent space during cycling (requires ComfyUI_Noise extension with BNK_InjectNoise).

• Parameters:
  • start_strength and end_strength for progressive noise control.
  • from_start to inject noise from the first cycle.
  • skip_start to bypass noise in the initial cycle.
• Outcome:
  • Improved fine details (e.g., more textured armor in abdominal region).
• Tip: Combine with other hooks to target specific enhancements.

Advanced Control With UnsamplerDetailerHook 🔧

UnsamplerDetailerHook inverts sampling in latent space during cycling, enabling focused removal or refinement via prompts rather than global random noise.

• Usage Tips:
  • Apply with clear prompts like “perfect armor, clean, glassy, blue.”
  • Increase end_at_step from 16 to 24 for finer control (note higher values reduce unsample steps as they near total steps).
  • Use the Switch feature with UnsamplerDetailerHook to emphasize damage effects and boost overall detail.
