Companion ComfyUI workflows from Comfy Education Initiative case studies. These are the actual graphs the featured artists used, shared so others can open, study, and build on them.
USC MFA Expanded Animation thesis. Student Academy Award (Gold, 2025) and 98th Academy Awards shortlist, built in ComfyUI. The pipeline restyles the artist's own iPhone live-action and Blender 3D using style transfer in SD 1.5 (IP-Adapter + ControlNet), with custom LoRAs trained on her own city footage.
| File | What it does |
|---|---|
xindi-zhang/Drifters_styleTransfer.json |
Style-transfer graph: restyles source footage with the artist's own illustrations as the style guide |
xindi-zhang/Drifters_stylizedMorphing.json |
AI morphing graph: blends animated 3D with AI morphing for the dream sequences |
How to use: download the .json, then in ComfyUI use Open (or drag the file onto the canvas) to load the graph. Check the required custom nodes and models before running.
