ComfyUI Trellis: One-Click 3D Workflow

Hello everyone! Today, I want to introduce you to something super cool called ComfyUI Trellis. It’s like magic for creating 3D assets, but without the headache. I’ll explain everything step-by-step, so even if you’re not a tech wizard, you’ll be able to follow along easily.

Imagine being able to create detailed 3D objects in just a few clicks. I’m talking about fancy 3D shapes, stunning textures, and even realistic objects, all generated straight from simple prompts. Sounds cool, right? That’s what ComfyUI Trellis does. Let me show you how to get started in the easiest way possible!

Alright, let’s keep this simple. ComfyUI Trellis is a tool that can create 3D assets like meshes, radiance fields, and 3D Gaussians. It works with text or images as input and turns them into beautiful 3D models.

To put it in easy words: You give Trellis an idea, and it brings that idea to life in 3D.

Here’s why it’s so exciting:

• It’s flexible – You can edit your 3D assets however you want.
• It’s fast – No waiting forever to see results.
• It’s high quality – The models look detailed and super realistic.

I know, it sounds too good to be true. But trust me, I tried it, and the results are mind-blowing! 🤯

Before we dive in, you need to make sure your computer can handle this magic. Don’t worry, I’ll break it down for you:

1. Operating System:
   • Works best on Windows (tested).
   • Should work on Linux too, but it’s still being tested.
2. Hardware:
   • An NVIDIA GPU with at least 16GB VRAM.
   • If you’ve got something like an NVIDIA A100 or A6000, you’re golden.
3. Software:
   • Python 3.8 or higher.
   • CUDA Toolkit 11.8 or 12.2 (you’ll need this for GPU stuff).
   • Conda (makes it easy to manage everything).

If that sounds like gibberish, don’t panic. I’ll guide you through the setup step-by-step. Just follow along!

Installation Steps

ep-by-Step Installation Guide

Ready to get Trellis up and running? Follow these simple steps:

First, you need to grab the Trellis files. Open your terminal (or PowerShell on Windows) and run this command:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes

Then download the Trellis repo with all its important parts:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/if-ai/ComfyUI-IF_Trellis.git

We need to set up a virtual environment to install all the required tools.

Step 3: Install Extra Extensions

Trellis needs a few extra tools to work its magic. Here’s how you install them:

pip install git+https://github.com/EasternJournalist/utils3d.git@9a4eb15e4021b67b12c460c7057d642626897ec8

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path C:\tmp\extensions

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/JeffreyXiang/diffoctreerast.git

 C:\tmp\extensions\diffoctreerast

pip install C:\tmp\extensions\diffoctreerast

git clone https://github.com/autonomousvision/mip-splatting.git C:\tmp\extensions\mip-splatting

pip install C:\tmp\extensions\mip-splatting\submodules\diff-gaussian-rasterization\

pip install kaolin -f https://nvidia-kaolin.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/torch-2.4.0_cu121.html

git clone https://github.com/NVlabs/nvdiffrast.git C:\tmp\extensions\nvdiffrast

pip install C:\tmp\extensions\nvdiffrast

This looks like a lot, but it’s just a bit of setup. Once you do it, you’re good to go!

If you’re wondering why you should use Trellis, here’s why:

• One-click workflow – You don’t need to be a 3D expert.
• Fast and efficient – It runs smoothly on GPUs.
• High-quality results – Your 3D models will look professional.
• Customizable – You can tweak and edit your models easily.

I’ve tried it myself, and it’s a game-changer. Imagine being able to create 3D assets for games, art projects, or even fun little animations without spending hours on it. That’s Trellis for you!
