H3-FaceRefine-Plus doubles face detail on small faces, open-sourced with full comparisons
AnniCodex · reddit · 2026-11-11
While working on a music video, the author found Carasibana's FaceRefine ComfyUI node insufficient for small/medium faces, so they iterated with Claude Code to build H3-FaceRefine-Plus — roughly 2x face detail on tiny faces (41–62px tall).
Benchmark data (107 frames / 4.46s on RTX 5090, same prompt and seed): original FaceRefine gets sharpness 1613, ArcFace identity 0.60, +87s render; Plus at 0.15 gets 2979/0.41/+256s; Plus at 0.30 gets 2948/0.68/+239s, with wobble reduced from 0.70% to 0.45% of face height. Trade-off: noticeably slower.
The repo includes all workflows (in-ComfyUI or via API agents), annotated steps, and reproducible assets. Requires the original FaceRefine installed.
