RefMod Pilot: LoRA-free consistent characters in MiniMax H3 with 1-8 reference photos

no3us · reddit · 2026-10-10

The author built RefMod Pilot, a workflow package for MiniMax H3 character references that uses Full Reference encoding instead of LoRA training: drop in 1-8 photos, name the character, and it becomes a reusable RefMod; multiple photos are stacked into one video-kind reference.

Two workflows are included: Creator — upload/drag photos, give the character a name, run; folder and image count are auto-filled. Inference — pick RefMods, edit the scene and view output, with prompt, aspect ratio, resolution, seconds, seed, and steps consolidated into one Scene node and the rest in a subgraph. The character loader stays visible so Add RefMod, Refresh, and library buttons remain available. For multi-character scenes, check the Reference map and match its labels in the prompt — slot numbers aren't necessarily picture numbers.

A six-view orange robot RefMod and demo workflow are bundled. Creation is verified but likeness and motion in finished videos haven't been validated. Disclosure: the author makes LoRA Pilot; this is their workflow/UX layer over Luisacaotica's ComfyUI-MiniMaxH3Mod. Available on GitHub and Hugging Face.
