Refmod nodes lose clothing details in video generation, plain image references work better

spacemidget75 · reddit · 2026-10-28

A Reddit user reports that popular ComfyUI refmod nodes underperform plain image references in video generation: clothing details went missing and faces drifted across several videos. Swapping back to direct clothing and face reference images restored accuracy on small details like belt buckles and buttons. They used Adudeguyman's refmod nodes (with bundled images in the safetensor) and ask whether others see the same regression. A useful counter-intuitive data point for anyone chasing character consistency: refmods aren't automatically better than raw references.
