[Feature] UnRuined RF (Fooocus Nodes)

[iwr-redmond]

With the recent switch to ComfyUI as the backend, it is now possible to consider adding some of the SDXL optimizations in Fooocus back into RF using the Fooocus Nodes. Originally developed by Seedsa, the nodes are a full port of Fooocus to ComfyUI.

Integrating this node pack would allow for the use of the advanced Fooocus KSampler, IP Adapters, and Controlnets within RF. I reckon this may be a useful enterprise due to the ongoing popularity of the SDXL architecture.

:) The "switch" was more of a clean up of an alternative pipeline we had. We had it back when there were new types of models release every other week and comfy took some time to catch up. ...but it wasn't very good, so I don't think anyone but me ever really used it.

But I'll take a look at the Fooocus Nodes. But they are just for SDXL?

[iwr-redmond]

Yes, they are primarily for SDXL, although like Fooocus you have the ability to use SDXL with SD1.5 as a refiner.

There are a few features which are usable with any architecture, including Fooocus Describe, Fooocus Upscaler, and the face restore helper. But the crown jewel, the advanced KSampler, was written for SDXL and creates superior outputs for SDXL and its variants (Pony, Illustrious, etc.).

A testament to how popular SDXL still is: stable-diffusion.cpp#772

Civitai might have hung the wrong horse thief, but SDXL is still the proverbial one-legged man at the butt-kicking convention.

I'm not going to pretend that I could have done better, but watching it deteriorate makes be a bit sad. Would have been nice to have them as the archive/index for all models. But now things are messy, you can't trust the metadata, people think they can change license and "own" a model just cause they fine-tuned it a little...and then you have the debacle of nsfw.

Anyway... If (or when) things settle down a bit more it would be nice to take a peek at those nodes and see if there is anything we want to use. :)
