People & Blogs

Introduction

Welcome to Quanta AI Labs! In this installment, we will dive into Instant ID, an innovative tool akin to the traditional IP adapter, but specifically designed for facial analysis. This article will guide you through the installation process and practical application of Instant ID, as well as provide insights into using this powerful resource.

Installation Guide for Instant ID

To begin using Instant ID, you'll first need to install it. There are two primary methods for installation depending on whether you want to set it up on your local PC or on a cloud system integrated with IP adapters.

Local Installation

If you prefer a local installation, I recommend following a tutorial from Code Crafter, linked in the description below. His guide provides detailed steps to set up Instant ID on your local machine.

Cloud Installation via ComfyUI

For users who are integrating Instant ID within an IP adapter system or utilizing cloud solutions, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the conf directory to access the Instant ID configuration settings.
  2. Here, you will find predefined installation procedures. You’ll need to install the necessary prerequisites, including:
    • Custom nodes for Instant ID.
    • The InsightFace model.
    • ONNX Runtime (select either CPU or GPU based on your setup).

Installing Models

To install the required models:

  1. Go to the Managers and then Model Manager within the ComfyUI interface.
  2. Search for InsightFace and install the relevant models (e.g., Enopia2).
  3. Locate the Instant ID models: the main model based on IP adapter and ControlNet.

After downloading all models, open the terminal to execute the following commands:

pip install InsightFace

If you're utilizing ONNX Runtime, use:

onnxruntime

You can choose between CPU and GPU installations based on your hardware capabilities.

Using Instant ID

Once installation is complete, it's time to utilize Instant ID. Load the default workflow from the interface:

  1. Access the examples section and download the basic version of the workflow.
  2. Use an exemplary image for facial recognition by uploading your selected image.
  3. You may encounter various options for graphics representation while executing the analysis.

Example Workflow

  1. Input a chosen image for facial analysis.
  2. Ensure that your terminal is configured correctly (e.g., using ONNX Runtime).
  3. After the workflow runs, you may adjust settings such as turning off comic character enhancements for clearer analysis.

Troubleshooting

If you receive errors (like a red box), ensure you're using compatible model settings or revisit the base configurations.

Results Interpretation

Upon execution, Instant ID will analyze and provide insights from the image based on the selected model. You can modify prompts to achieve desired styles, ranging from comic illustrations to professional portraits, allowing you to tailor the output to your needs.
