Basic Workflow: ZIT T2I v1.5 | ControlNet Support

This version adds ControlNet support.
If you don't need ControlNet, ZIT T2I v1.2 is still the recommended choice.

I. Required Node

comfyuicontrolnetaux
This node preprocesses your reference image and generates the input needed for ControlNet. It includes a variety of built-in preprocessors for different ControlNet modes.
You can install it through ComfyUI Manager by searching for controlnet aux.

II. ControlNet Model

Download it here:
https://huggingface.co/alibaba-pai/Z-Image-Turbo-Fun-Controlnet-Union-2.1

After downloading, place the model file in:
models\model_patches

Do not download Z-Image-Turbo-Fun-Controlnet-Union-2.1-2602-8steps.safetensors.
Use the v2.1-2601 version instead. The v2.1-2602 version has issues, only Canny works properly, while the other ControlNet modes fail to generate correct results.

III. Basic Settings

In the ControlNet Subgraph, the ControlNet-related settings (from top to bottom) are:
- Z Image Turbo ControlNet model
- Preprocessor
- Preprocessor resolution (short side)
- ControlNet strength
- Reference image for the preprocessor

IV. Using with LoRA

If you're using LoRA, keep the ControlNet strength as low as possible. Otherwise, the image may fall apart.
