ClownOptions Tile Advanced

RES4LYF's samplers don't take twenty widgets crammed onto one node. Instead they accept an OPTIONS input, and you build that options bundle by chaining little configurator nodes together. ClownOptions Tile Advanced is the one that turns on tiled sampling - it splits the latent into tiles and samples them, so you can push resolution past what your VRAM would otherwise allow.

This is the same idea behind tools like Ultimate SD Upscale, but wired into ClownsharkBatwing's sampler instead of bolted on afterward. Tiling is the standard escape hatch for high-res work: generating well above a model's native resolution tends to produce duplicated anatomy and repeated patterns, and tiling each region separately sidesteps both the VRAM ceiling and some of that large-canvas weirdness. The trade is more model calls and the usual tiling risk of visible seams.

How it works

You define the tile size (or sizes) as text, and optionally chain in an existing OPTIONS bundle so this stacks on top of other settings. The node returns an OPTIONS object carrying the tile config, which you plug into the sampler's options input. At sample time the sampler carves the latent into tiles of your chosen size, processes each, and reassembles.

The inputs and outputs that matter

• tile_sizes (STRING, multiline, default 1024,1024) - the tile dimensions as width,height. This is a multiline box because the "Advanced" version lets you specify more than one tile spec; the plain default of 1024,1024 is a sane starting point for most current models.
• options (optional OPTIONS) - chain the output of another ClownOptions/SharkOptions node here to combine settings rather than replace them.

Output is options (OPTIONS) - route it into your RES4LYF sampler's options input, or into the next options node in the chain.

How to install it

Part of the RES4LYF pack. ComfyUI Manager: search RES4LYF, install, restart. Manual:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/ClownsharkBatwing/RES4LYF/
cd RES4LYF
pip install -r requirements.txt

Portable builds use the embedded pip. Restart, hard-refresh with F5. The README also strongly suggests installing rgthree-comfy so the sampler and options menus nest properly in the dropdown.

Common issues

Tiling's eternal problem is seams - visible grid lines where tiles meet. Larger tiles with more overlap hide them better; if you see a checkerboard, that's usually the fix. Second, tile size interacts with the model: pick a tile far from what the model was trained on and each tile can drift in style, so keep tiles near native resolution. And the OPTIONS chaining catches people out - if your tile settings seem ignored, check that you actually wired this node's options output into the sampler and didn't leave it dangling, and that a later options node in the chain isn't overwriting it. This is the "Beta" line of the pack, meaning it's the current experimental generation and details can shift between updates, so re-check your graph after a pack upgrade.
