Pose Transfer V2 Qwen Edit Lora [fixed]

I took everyone’s feedback and whipped up a much better version of the pose transfer lora. You should see a huge improvement without needing to mannequinize the image before hand. There should be much less extra transfer (though it’s still there occasionally). The only thing still not amazing is it’s cartoon pose understanding but I’ll …

Bytedance release the full safetensor model for UMO – Multi-Identity Consistency for Image Customization . Obligatory beg for a ComfyUI node 🙏🙏

https://huggingface.co/bytedance-research/UMO https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.06818 Bytedance have released 3 days ago their image editing/creation model UMO. From their huggingface description: Recent advancements in image customization exhibit a wide range of application prospects due to stronger customization capabilities. However, since we humans are more sensitive to faces, a significant challenge remains in preserving consistent identity while avoiding identity confusion …

RecA: A new finetuning method that doesn’t use image captions.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.07295 “We introduce Reconstruction Alignment (RecA), a resource-efficient post-training method that leverages visual understanding encoder embeddings as dense “text prompts,” providing rich supervision without captions. Concretely, RecA conditions a UMM on its own visual understanding embeddings and optimizes it to reconstruct the input image with a self-supervised reconstruction loss, thereby realigning understanding and generation.” https://huggingface.co/sanaka87/BAGEL-RecA …

This sub has had a distinct lack of dancing 1girls lately

So many posts with actual new model releases and technical progression, why can’t we go back to the good old times where people just posted random waifus? /s Just uses the standard Wan 2.2 I2V workflow with a wildcard prompt like the following repeated 4 or 5 times: {hand pops|moving her body and shaking her …
