ComfyUI fork cuts MiniMax H3 group-shot face refinement from 16.5 to 3.5 minutes

A developer forked H3 FaceRefine for MiniMax H3 video generation to fix its biggest pain point: group shots required one full face-refinement run per person. ComfyUI-H3-FaceRefine-Accelerated tracks multiple faces, packs them into one shared atlas, runs H3 once, and pastes results back.
Key points:
- Long clips are split into smaller jobs with a small amount of latent context passed forward, avoiding visible chunk seams
- Trade-off: lower per-face resolution — four faces in a 768 atlas means 384px cells; close-ups or identity-critical faces should still use the original one-at-a-time workflow
- Benchmarked on a 4090: a 15-second, four-person clip took 16.5 minutes serial vs 3.5 minutes accelerated (4.7x)
- Repo includes demo clips, workflows, and benchmark details
