Added 2024-01-14 19:12:36 +0000 UTC

1_0) ControlNet_Passes_Export_v3.0_Automatic

It's Equipped with automatic Skip frames feature, so you don't have to manually calculate and enter the skip frames,

Also after first run it will calculate the Queue Size (n), how much total queues you need to have to render all frames.

How To Use :

1) Copy and Paste Video path node in "Input Video Path"

2) Batch Range is 10 for testing, Set it to 100 - 200 according to your PC handle capacity.

3) Lap Counter will increase by 1 on every queue, Set it to 0 when doing final rendering.

4) Queue Prompt N times will show much Laps you need, it will display value after first queue.

5) Select you Passes and set Output Path.

Queue Prompt N Times Theory

Important: Set Lap Counter to 0 before rendering for final.

After First Queue, This Green node will tell a value ... In the above example is 5,
While the First Queue is Running Click the Queue Prompt N times till it reaches N ( in this example n = 5)

Now it will render automatically, you can go watch netflix or do your chores.

Original Manual Exporting System is also available in the Google Drive Folder.

Tip : Set Batch Range to 100 or low, so it don't crashes while rendering.
Also you can use the Extra option for spamming queue button,

This make easy for exporting passes for higher video length.

1_1) ControlNet_Extra_AutoMasking_SoftEdgePlus_v3.0

This is the New Improvement file added for getting more dynamic and better results.

- It can export mask which are auto generated by using RVM Technology

- It has a new SoftEdgePlus Pass Feature which can be used instead of softedge original or lineart pass.

Auto Masking

- This RVM is Ideal for Human Masking only, it won't work on any other subjects

Enable Auto Masking - Enable = 1, Disable = 0
Mask Expansion - How much you want to expand the mask in pixels.
Mask Blur - How much to feather the mask in pixels

Important - Use 50 - 100 in batch range, RVM fails on higher values.

SoftEdgePlus

It's an alternative to Softedge Pass, which give more control over details, Using Edge detection and Highpass ( I spent days testing and developing it :D )

It Has some "noise" in the image, which helps in giving consistency and further enhance stability of colors and details

The Above render is directly from the Raw File

- It's Observed, it has more stable color then not using this pass, Blue is maintained as blue in large area of the image, unlike before, which got hue shifts

-Face has more accurate capture of details of eyes, lips, ear, and hair too.

How To Use

SoftEdgePus Radius - Use Minimum value 1 - 5 to get the max details, higher values won't capture details
SoftEdgePlus Strength - Use between 1 - 15, It depends on your image, this needs some practice to get used to.

Practice Sheet

Example Image - Radius Vs Strength Plot

Zoom in the Image to see the details, Green tick is the safe range for softedge plus pass which will work best, Orange circle is okay-okay, Red cross, images will have too much noise in render.

How to Get best softedgePlus Pass - You to manually observe that you should get all minute details and images contours, and should not have too much noise.

Tip: Use Controlnet Weight - around 0.8 - 0.9 and End percent near 0.9 for best results. This is experimental values, you can test in your render.
