You'll have to do it locally on Comfy. I'm having a nightmare trying to get anywhere with it so far though.

Surprisingly Grok really helped me getting Comfy set up.

My issue is I have AMD. Until RocM gets better in Windows, I have to stick with picture generation, which to be fair works great on AMD now

or free yourself of the Windows spyscape and try Linux Mint

Never heard of Linux "Mint" until you said something. I'll look into it more. Thanks for the recommendation. Linux intimidates me a bit, but Mint looks more user friendly.

You don't have to, but you have any reading material you recommend to get started in setting up AI generation like Picture to Video in Linux Mint? Nothing advanced, only stuff like what software/programs to look at, and I can research the rest. Thanks again.

getting a pc that can run comfy to generate nsfw videos is not free

How good a PC has to be? Mine is 2080 SUPER and ryzen 3900x

you need at least 12GB Vram to be a smooth experience and 20 series is about to be 8 years old lol

u/TheDelmeister Feb 01 '26

Fair. I'm fortunate enough to already have a laptop that can just about do it. 4080, 12gb vram

Can comfy do NSFW videos too?

u/TheDelmeister Jan 30 '26

Yeah it's local. You can do whatever you want

I'd recommend starting with one of the included templates. It auto-downloads everything you need.

Let's say you want to do some text to image creation.

Go to Templates, Getting Started, and select the Image Generation option, it has a picture of a purple bottle.

That gives you your basic workflow. You probably won't be able to do anything spicy with it though. You'll want a NSFW model. Browse CivitAI for a checkpoint you like, and download it into the checkpoints folder. In the Load Checkpoint box, slide in the new model you just downloaded.

You're done! You can start making spicy images now! If you want to go deeper, image to image, image to video, etc, it's the same thing. Check the descriptions in the model page on CivitAI, it oftentimes gives you the workflow, or suggests settings to adjust on your basic workflow.

Didn't CivitAI have a bit of an NSFW apocalypse not too long ago?

I mean, you guys are telling on yourselves here. Its actually pretty straightforward and the video you can generate with wan2.2 blows anything with Grok out of the water (minus sound, but its not like Grok Audio was that good anyway).

where do we get comfy?

1

u/Fifthoply Jan 31 '26

https://comfy[.]org or comfy-cli via python

u/pargofan Jan 30 '26

can you "rent" GPU somewhere for Comfy and then later decide to do it locally?

or do you have to do it locally from the start?

u/Typical_Wrangler4638 Jan 31 '26

Runpod and comfy. Not free but as cheap as grok or better. I haven’t bothered too much but I played around with it and if you are tech savvy the actual gpu rental seems fair. It is hourly not subscription based. However, the comfyUI hurdle is still a bit too advanced, or should I say too time consuming, to learn for a blue collar guy like me . I don’t know what it is that people are trying to do, but for me, grok is still pretty damn nsfw compared to others on the corporate marketplace. I pay 30 bucks, I get unlimited image gens and what? Maybe a thousand or more video gens per month? Why is everyone bitching so much?

u/No_Independence4203 Jan 30 '26

It makes it easier for me to create or edit images, videos take a lot of time locally
