ComfyUI - Hands are finally FIXED! This solution works with all models!

[@joelface]

So cool that this works! Love the ingenuity that it must have taken to figure this all out.

[@sedetweiler]

It was a bit of a pain to watch if you check out the live stream from last Saturday. That seed was the major issue.

[@gingercholo]

super specific use case, when the subjects hands are literally like the image your using, if not the depth maps it comes up with a straight trash.

[@oldmanliving]

Please try different hand poses you will know it never fix hand. When the ControlNet depth preprocessor gives you bad depth hand, you will still get bad hand. Even it gives you good preprocessed depth hand, for different hand poses it will still generate flip, or reverse bad hand. I am so sorry to tell the true.

[@sedetweiler]

It isn't perfect, but again this works in 90% of the situations where we get bad hands.

[@DanielWoj]

I would say that it improves 50% in the photo-like images. But maybe 10-20% in painting or some low CFG styles.

[@poipoi300]

@@sedetweiler Lol that's wishful thinking. It only works well when the hands are prominent in the image and in a common pose, not interacting with anything. It ends up messing up perfectly good hands more than fixing bad ones.

[@poipoi300]

@@matthewfuller9760 Models are getting better and soon bad hands will be extremely rare. That said, yes you can redraw images or pose models with depth information. I redraw and edit, then inpaint the area with a low denoise.

[@rickandmortyunofficial8986]

Thank you for making a tutorial by building nodes manually, it really helps clarify each function of the nodes, unlike other channels which present workflows with ready-made nodes

[@mistraelify]

Well, that works fine with big hands but not very good with like 3-4 characters in the picture and little hands, closed hands, specific poses. Somewhat the MeshGrapher gives bad results. But it's definitely this path to use for correcting details without altering too much of the original seed. I'm impressed how that works.

[@gab1159]

Awesome man, trying this now, your tutorials are great and easy to follow. A godsend!

[@sedetweiler]

Glad I could help!

[@lmbits1047]

For some reason the hands from the picture I am trying this on don't get detected. I guess this method only works for hands that are already clear enough they are hands.

[@geoffphillips5293]

This is super useful and your patient explaining is much better than many of the rushed jobs on youtube. However I found the meshgraphormer rather disappointing, especially where you've several people. Segment anything Ultrav2 seems to work quite well though (with a prompt of hands)

[@bryanbondoc-y4s]

did you have a hand refiner without going through KSAMPLER again?, the first image created was always different to the 2nd

[@JolieKim2795]

It cannot be completely eradicated. Only post processing with pts AI can help, and sometimes when the hand is quite stable , it may provide an additional glove or piece of steel on the hand,

[@lumbagomason]

One more thing that you can do is send the final image to fooocus image prompt > inpaint>improve face, hands (2nd option), paint both hands, and use the quick prompt called detailed hand. Edit: This is AFTER you have refined the hands using the above tutorial.

[@sedetweiler]

[@BabylonBaller]

Great vid, thanks Scott. Guys, if your using A1111.. It takes just two clicks to enable Hand Refiner in Controlnet and fix hands lol But the noodles are much more fun, if you have time to kill.

[@sedetweiler]

The difference for me is I know how it works. with much of A1111 you check a box and the magic happens. With Comfy you actually control and learn how it all goes together. It is the difference from just eating in a restaurant and knowing how to cook as well.

[@traugdor]

The Hand Refiner in ControlNet isn't as powerful as the fine control you have in ComfyUI. One-button solutions always have issues. I've used both and always get better results with ComfyUI.

[@murphylanga]

I can't figure out how to make this work. Even if the MeshGraphormer produces good results and the hands look nice in the depth map, the hands in the final image often look worse than in the image before MeshGraphormer. It seems that the second KSampler does mess up the hands again. Is there anything to avoid this?

you can always use a different model for the 2nd sampler. Be sure you use a different seed! That was one I tripped over.

It doesn't work with every model either. Graphormer has its problems with hands that originate from 2D, 2.5D models. Apparently the depth information that Graphormer needs to recognise that they are fingers is missing.

[@sedetweiler]

The first one creates the flawed image, and the graphformer can then spot the hands and the second sampler fixes them. So, I am using 2 samplers for that reason. Because this works so well with just depth, I am not throwing all the controlnets at it, as it just works as is quite often.

[@scottownbey9340]

I got my workflow to work with one KSampler using 1.5 model ( Im using Controlnet for the body (DWopenpose + Depth) and now MeshGraphomer) and got to that point where i generated great hands but the image totally changed , so I added the Set Latent noise mask with samples going into a empty latent image (replacing the one from the KSampler) and the image is totally gone.
