ComfyUI : NEW Official ControlNet Models are released! Here is my tutorial on how to use them.

From the creator

It's official! Stability.ai has now released the first of our official stable diffusion SDXL Control Net models. In this ComfyUI tutorial we will quickly cover how to install them as well as how to use the preprocessors to get things all set for the Control Net node. We will also cover installing the manager, since it makes things a lot easier going forward. I did cover that in Episode 2 in-depth, so if you need a refresher, check out that video as well. Please note, these are now the official models, not the ones released by others. Want to help support the channel and get this graph?
