## 🤖 **Model Management - Auto-Download System**
|
|
|
|
### **Zero-Configuration Experience (Default)**
|
|
When you first use the node:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
🔍 Checking for MiniMax-Remover models...
|
|
📥 Models not found locally. Starting automatic download...
|

|
|
⏳ This may take several minutes depending on your connection...
|
|
🎉 Models downloaded successfully!
|
|
✅ Processing your video...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Model Download Details**

|
|
### **Storage Locations (Auto-Detected)**
|
|
The system automatically tries these locations in priority order:
|
|
|
|
#### **Option 1: Custom Node Directory (Default)**
|
|
```
|
|
ComfyUI/custom_nodes/MiniMax-Remover/models/
|
|
├── minimax_vae/ (VAE encoder/decoder)
|
|
├── minimax_transformer/ (main diffusion model)
|
|
└── minimax_scheduler/ (denoising scheduler)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### **Option 2: ComfyUI Models Directory**
|
|
```
|
|
ComfyUI/models/
|
|
├── minimax_vae/ (MiniMax VAE models)

*Windows: `C:\Users\[Username]\.cache\minimax-remover\models\`*
|
|
|
|
### **Manual Download Options**
|
|
If auto-download fails or you prefer manual control:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Option 1: Use built-in script
|
|
python download_models.py
|
|
|
|
# Option 2: Direct HuggingFace download
|
|
huggingface-cli download zibojia/minimax-remover --local-dir ./models --local-dir-use-symlinks False
|
|
# Then rename folders for clarity:
|
|
mv ./models/vae ./models/minimax_vae
|
|
mv ./models/transformer ./models/minimax_transformer
|
|
mv ./models/scheduler ./models/minimax_scheduler
|
|
|
|
# Option 3: Download to ComfyUI models directory
|
|
huggingface-cli download zibojia/minimax-remover --local-dir ComfyUI/models --local-dir-use-symlinks False
|

|
## 🎯 **Universal Resolution Support**
|
|
|
|
### **ANY Resolution Now Supported!**
|
|
The node now handles **any resolution input** with **automatic compatibility**:
|
|
|
|
- ✅ **Any input resolution** - 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K, custom resolutions
|
|
- ✅ **Mixed mask/image sizes** - automatically handles different resolution inputs
|
|
- ✅ **VAE compatibility** - dimensions automatically adjusted for perfect compatibility
|
|
- ✅ **No configuration needed** - works automatically
|
|
|
|
### **Example Resolution Fixes**
|
|
| Input Resolution | Problem | Auto-Fixed To | Result |
|
|
|------------------|---------|---------------|--------|
|
|
| `1000x1778` | 125x222.25 latent | `1008x1784` | 126x223 ✅ |
|
|
| `720x480` | No issue | `720x480` | 90x60 ✅ |
|
|
| `1920x1080` | 240x135 | `1920x1088` | 240x136 ✅ |

|
|
## 🛠️ **Compatibility Fixes**
|
|
|
|
### **OpenCV Conflict Resolution ✅**
|
|
|
|
**Problem Solved**: Users were experiencing OpenCV reinstallation prompts and conflicts.
|
|
|
|
**Root Cause**: Multiple conflicting OpenCV version requirements across different files:
|
|
- `requirements.txt`: `opencv-python==4.5.5.64` (exact old version)
|
|
- `requirements_bmo.txt`: `opencv-python>=4.8.0` (newer minimum)
|
|
- `pyproject.toml`: `opencv-python>=4.7.0` (different minimum)
|
|
|
|
**Solution Applied**:
|
|
- ✅ **Standardized OpenCV requirements** to `opencv-python>=4.5.0,<5.0.0` across all files
|
|
- ✅ **Safe installation procedures** that don't break existing OpenCV installations
|
|
- ✅ **Recovery scripts** for users with broken installations
|
|
|
|
**Result**: No more OpenCV reinstallation prompts or conflicts!
|
|
|
|
### **DW Preprocessor Compatibility ✅**
|
|
|
|
**Problem Solved**: Conflicts between MiniMax-Remover and DWPose/DW preprocessors.
|
|
|
|
**Root Cause**: Multiple compatibility issues:
|
|
- PyTorch version conflicts (`torch==2.6` vs DWPose requirement `<2.4`)
|
|
- Segment Anything model loading conflicts
|
|
- ONNX runtime conflicts
|
|
- CUDA memory issues from simultaneous GPU usage
|
|
|
|
**Solution Applied**:
|
|
- ✅ **Compatible PyTorch range**: `torch>=2.0.0,<2.5.0` for DWPose compatibility
|
|
- ✅ **TorchVision compatibility**: Proper version alignment
|
|
- ✅ **Memory management**: Smart GPU memory handling
|
|
- ✅ **Model isolation**: Prevents loading conflicts
|
|
|
|
**Result**: MiniMax-Remover now works seamlessly with DWPose and other preprocessors!
|
|
|
|

## 🔧 **Troubleshooting**
|
|
|
|
### **Common Issues & Solutions**
|
|
|
|
#### **Models Not Downloading**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check internet connection and try manual download
|
|
python download_models.py
|
|
|
|
# Or use HuggingFace CLI
|
|
huggingface-cli download zibojia/minimax-remover --local-dir ./models
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### **PyTorch CUDA Issues**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# If PyTorch gets downgraded to CPU version during installation:
|
|
# 1. Reinstall PyTorch with CUDA support first
|
|
pip install torch>=2.0.0,<2.8.0 torchvision>=0.15.0,<0.20.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
|
|
|
|
# 2. Then install other dependencies
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt --no-deps --force-reinstall diffusers transformers accelerate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### **OpenCV Conflicts**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install with compatible versions
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
# If issues persist, see INSTALLATION_GUIDE_OPENCV_FIX.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### **DW Preprocessor Conflicts**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Use compatible PyTorch version
|
|
pip install "torch>=2.0.0,<2.5.0" "torchvision>=0.15.0,<0.20.0"
|
|
|
|
# See DW_PREPROCESSOR_COMPATIBILITY.md for details
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### **Memory Issues**
|
|
- Use smaller input resolutions
|
|
- Enable model offloading in ComfyUI settings
|
|
- Close other GPU-intensive applications
|
|
|
|
#### **Poor Quality Results**
|
|
- Ensure you're using the latest BMO version
|
|
- Try different seeds (use seed parameter)
|
|
- Adjust mask expansion (iterations parameter: 6-10)
|
|
- Check that masks are clean and binary
