🧰 ComfyUI XB-BOX (XB_ToolBox)

---

🌟 Core Philosophy

The primary goal of XB_ToolBox is to help AI beginners new to ComfyUI quickly master workflows, making local deployment and execution simpler and more convenient. It is a comprehensive ComfyUI extension suite encompassing both front-end interaction and low-level memory scheduling.

• Unified Parameters: Integrates frequently used but scattered parameter nodes, allowing you to set essential image and video parameters from a single hub.
• Visual Learning: Provides visual chunking and parameter preview nodes, enabling beginners to intuitively understand the concepts of VAE/Encoder chunks, temporal slicing, and overlap effects.
• UX Enhancements: Introduces a user-friendly "Mirror Clone Console" (Dashboard) that clones major operation nodes from complex workflows into a unified, clean, and highly efficient control panel.
• Extreme VRAM Optimization: Through "Spatiotemporal Chunk Hijacking", "Dynamic VRAM Offloading for UNet/Checkpoints", and "Deep LiteGraph Customization", it allows consumer-grade GPUs to smoothly run massive 14B~22B 3D-DiT video models that would normally cause instant OOM (Out of Memory).

✨ Core Nodes

1. 🎬 Media Parameters & Spatiotemporal Visualization

• 🖼️ Image Parameters Master: Controls core image generation parameters (Width, Height, Batch Size, Strength) in one place. Enforces safe steps to prevent invalid inputs and automatically aligns dimensions when a fixed aspect ratio is selected.
• 🎬 Video Parameters Master: Manages Width, Height, Frames, and FPS (Integer/Float). Features a geek-level "Auto-Manual Transmission Engine" that smoothly snaps to official pre-trained "Golden Buckets" (e.g., 480x832, 544x960) and strictly locks the physical frame count to the safe 1+8N rule. Dynamically displays video duration based on frame rate.
• 🧊 Spatiotemporal Chunk Visualization: An exclusive dual-zone radar! The 2D left panel visualizes spatial image chunks and overlap values, while the 3D right panel uses a painter's algorithm to render temporal cylinder stacks. Saves beginners from the exhaustion of blind parameter tuning.
• 🧊 Storyboard Image Slicer: Offers multiple modes to slice common 4-grid, 6-grid, 9-grid... images all at once and output multiple individual images. This makes image-to-video or start/end frame video generation much more convenient, and is highly effective for creating short dramas.
• 📟 VRAM Calculator & Data Radar: Predicts VRAM footprint for WAN/LTX models under different quantizations (FP8/GGUF) and weighs tensor volumes with MB-level precision. Significantly reduces trial-and-error costs by helping users choose models fitting their VRAM capacity.

2. 🧊 VRAM Optimization

• 🧊 Sampler Chunk Master: Tailored for WAN/LTX. Performs spatiotemporal dual-axis slicing (Spatial Tiles & Temporal Chunks) in the Latent space. Hijacks model parameters in-place with an built-in rocm_optimized extreme memory reclamation strategy, breaking the large-tensor OOM curse.
• ✂️ Model Block Swap: Supports both UNet and Checkpoint modes. Forcibly unloads the first N Transformer Blocks and Text/Image embedding layers to system RAM, trading time for space.
• 🧹 VRAM Cleaner: Essential for pre-generation clearing. Delivers "nuclear-level cleanup" by deeply invoking gc.collect() and torch.cuda.empty_cache() to crush PyTorch cache fragmentation.

3. 🎛️ Workflow Deployment Assistants

• 🪄 XB Dashboard Zen: A "Mirror Clone Console" developed using low-level LiteGraph features. Batch-clones any scattered components in your workflow into a fixed panel. Features two-way data synchronization and direct arterial connections to create a clean, customized monitoring dashboard.
• 🎛️ Dynamic Bus: An ultra-compact N-in/N-out AnyType universal bus node. Provides custom UI type labels and one-click channel addition/removal to save your workflow from "noodle wire" chaos.
