[@CodeCraftersCorner]

Thank you for watching and the sub! The models will go inside ComfyUI > models folder. Here, you will need to create a new folder and name it pulid. Place the pulid ip-adapter model here. The base model will go inside the checkpoints folder. Be sure to use SDXL ones as PuLID will only work with SDXL and not SD1.5 models.

Thanks for your detailed video and i have two questions; 1.

Can we use pulid with Flux Dev checkpoints? Thank you

[@CodeCraftersCorner]

Hello, thank you for watching. 1. you will need to find the python executable which pinokio or stability matrix is using and then replace the python_embeded with your version. Alternatively, through the ComfyUI Manager, there is an option "Install PIP packages" which you can try. 2. Not that I am aware of for now.

You will need to get the insightface for your python version. you can look at the name it will say cp3.11 or cp3.12 like this. 6. then try again with the new insightface file. if this is not the issue, the only other thing i can think of is the list of application installed on your system. I checked my list of installed app. I have Microsoft visual studio 2022 installed. During the installation, I checked the c++ package. Not sure if this will solve the error to be honest but it might be worth a try.

Any clues how to fix this acess/writing problem?

[@CodeCraftersCorner]

Just installing visual studio should not cause this. Can you check if you have conda install? It's possible that you have done conda init in powershell. so when you are doing python -m pip install insightface, it is installing in the conda environment and not the python embedded folder. Try to start CMD from start and choose the one that says system. or you can start cmd from windows system folder.

why would you use your CPU over CUDA, when you're using a GTX1650, makes no sense?

[@CodeCraftersCorner]

I only had 4GB of VRAM at the time. Using the CPU means requires onnxruntime and CUDA means using onnxruntime-gpu which in turn required a specific version of CUDA installed to use. I did not want to upgrade ComfyUI dependencies just for this as it could have affected my other workflows.
