Success with a quick initial setup and test of the new unified Controlnet for Z-Image Turbo, using a Poser render as the source image. My source render here is the Meshbox H.P. Lovecraft figure for Poser, with an M4 ‘shambling zombie’ pose applied, rendered as a basic greyscale + some Comic Book lines, Preview render.<\/p>\n

The workflow is ComfyUI. Z-Image Turbo is very responsive, so this prompt could be refined for facial expression and eye-direction. Also, there are no style LoRAs being applied here.<\/p>\n

Turns out Z-Image Turbo does know the names of classic Marvel comics artists, but you have to do Jack_Kirby<\/em> instead of Jack Kirby<\/em>, or Steve_Ditko<\/em> etc. Sadly it has no idea who H.P. Lovecraft was, under any variant of the name. Hence the different-looking head.<\/p>\n

Very precise adherence to the basics of the source image. A reasonable 26 second render time. Apparently the ideal with this particular Controlnet is to stop it a few steps short of the final image, so that Z-Image has more of a chance to do its magic. That’s not happening here. But I’ll investigate that option at the weekend, so be aware that the above workflow is just a first try and is not optimal. <\/p>\n
