Node graph blueprint: SD 3.5 Large × Inpainting & Mask Editor
This route pairs **SD 3.5 Large** with a **Inpainting & Mask Editor** setup designed for replacing or repairing masked regions seamlessly. Place your model weights in `models/checkpoints/` and start the graph with **Load Checkpoint + TripleCLIPLoader**.
Core wiring chain: `Load Image (MaskEditor) → SetLatentNoiseMask / InpaintModelConditioning → KSampler`. Connect your positive and negative conditioning from CLIP Text Encode into KSampler and decode to RGB pixels.
VRAM tuning and execution tips on Windows
- **Memory target (12 GB+):** If your GPU sits at 8 GB or 12 GB, use FP8 or GGUF Q4/Q5 weights and swap in VAE Decode (Tiled) to avoid end-of-pass memory spikes.
- **Workflow persistence:** Every image saved by this route embeds the full JSON graph inside the PNG metadata — drag the output back onto ComfyUI Studio anytime to resume.
- **Get the app:** Download the Windows desktop or portable build from /download.
FAQs
Which loader node do I use for SD 3.5 Large in a Inpainting & Mask Editor?
Use `Load Checkpoint + TripleCLIPLoader` with weights stored in `models/checkpoints/`, then wire the output into `Load Image (MaskEditor) → SetLatentNoiseMask / InpaintModelConditioning → KSampler`.
How much VRAM does SD 3.5 Large need for Inpainting & Mask Editor?
Target VRAM is 12 GB+. On 8 GB cards, load quantized FP8 or GGUF weights and enable tiled VAE decoding.
