Sprute v 2.0 — Comfy Workflow for Animating 8 directional characters

Continuing from previous research posts on using SCAIL 2 for 8-directional character animation.

Workflow Screenshot:

There is non trivial complexity but most of it has to do with laying out the character sheets and cutting them.

Result:

(You can download this WEBP file and drag and drop it into ComfyUI to load the workflow.

I couldn't get animated webp to list 8 characters in a horizontal sheet. Perhaps I can work on custom nodes for it.

Analysis:

• Comfy workflow works pretty well.

• The limb getting slightly longer is an artifact we want to fix in the future rounds but so far satisfactory.

• We used SCAIL 2 in this experiment but I believe similar method can be used for Seedance 2.0 as we've seen before.

Next Steps:

• Test SCAIL2 on Replicate

• Wire it up into Sprute for 2.0 release.
