Thanks for the reply/feedback. Your suggestions will probably be the right way to go for most people. Still learning over here.
Hi, I just purchase CC4 and installed the AI Render plugin. But i donāt see the AI Render button where to find it?
I have noticed that before, but thought it might have been a one time thing. But no, itās quite consistent.
When I preview a video, the first frame is rendering for the preview as usual. Then I render and the outcome is totally different from the preview shot.
In the AI video, the very first frame is exactly the same as in preview, but the rest of the frames are not. Itās like there is a transition for about 6-7 frames from preview image to a different face shape style.
Let me demonstrate. Here is Camila walking in place, background is moving back and camera zooming for 7 seconds (2D Line Video Style)
This is a first iClone render vs AI preview frame:
And then those are first 6 frames of the video scrolled back and force:
And this is a video:
So it seems like a preview shot and a video rendering configuration mismatch to me. But that makes it impossible to understand how the character would look like in AI rendered video before hitting Render button.
Hi All,
I installed the IClone AI Render Plugin on my local PC, according to the instructions from Reallusion. The AI Render plugin in IClone seems to work fine.
My problem is that the ComfyUI browser interface to the AI Render ComfyUI server (http://127.0.0.1:8188) doesnāt work properly. (Iām assuming that the ComfyUI browser interface to the installed AI Render ComfyUI server should behave the same is it would for any other local ComfyUI serverā¦) The ComfyUI browser does open and shows the ComfyUI interface, but it seems āfrozenā: none of the menu options work nor does the Manager, at least not initially. Strangely, sometimes they start working, but only after Iāve tried a number of random troubleshooting actions like reloading the ComfyUI browser, restarting the ComfyUI server via the AI Render plug-in, etc., but I havenāt been able to determine what the exact action is that causes it to start working. Once the ComfyUI browser is working properly, if I I then close the web browser tab that the ComfyUI browser is running in, and then open a new web browser tab and access the ComfyUI browser again, the ComfyUI browser interface is āfrozenā again. I get this problem whether I access the ComfyUI browser via Chrome or MS Edge.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it? I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the IClone AI Render Plugin (which I presume uninstalls and reinstalls its ComfyUI server instance) but that didnāt fix the problem.
You may close iClone/CC and start server from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Reallusion\RL_ComfyUI\run_comfyui.vbs
But I donāt think it would make a difference.
I would try a different browser first and then checked Antivirus software/firewalls on PC.

Which video model did you use?
That was 2D Clean Line Video Style
And then here is a Cartoon Video style [Official] š Welcome to AI Render Open Beta ā Start Here! - #207 by 4u2ges
Same thing, there is transition for about 12 frames for the face and background lights. I mean it changed for better, but still, why the preview does not reflect the outcome.
To get out the most consistency and quality you should use a trained lora model of Camila for Wan1.3b or Wan14b. I donāt knowā¦I heard that RL did a lora training of Camila, donāt know if itās for Flux ( Pix only ) or Wan, the lora model must be somewhere. I personally donāt have a Camila Lora for Wan yet, that I can send you.
It doesnāt have to be trained on the Toon Style, the original is enough to guide the AI Toon Style.
Also Wan1.3b is a relatively weak video modelā¦
Thanks. Maybe with update they will deliver LoRAs for at least Kevin and Camila, but otherwise I still think itās a bug of some sort. I use canny for stability for now, but then it does not obey it for preview but sort of does for the videoā¦ strange
Hi, hello.powerwars,
Please check the toolbar and menu in Character Creator as shown in the image below.
Hope it works for you.
thanks for your reply. i install and reinstall CC and plugin 3 times. each time tried on different Drive, CC works fine and i can see plugin install to the correct drive each time. but button never show. Also not in the plugin menu. Anyway CC5 will be out soon. Hopefully you guys will release this AI render plugin for it soon so i can try it. the AI render is one of the reason i purchase this software.
Hi, hello.powerwars
Iām sorry to hear that AI Render isnāt working in your Character Creator.
Could you please try the following steps to help us troubleshoot?
-
Go to Script menu ā Console Log and check whether any messages appear when you launch Character Creator.
-
Navigate to your Character Creator installation folder (by default:
C:\Program Files\Reallusion\Character Creator 4\Bin64\OpenPlugin) and check if the AI Render folder exists there.
Thanks for your help.

I need help.
I have been using comfy UI with great results for images. However, videoā¦ is another story.
I had done the batch render, and double, tripple checked, all the independent videos work. When I go back and click render for the video, it loads for about 30 seconds, then stops. no video is ever rendered. No idea whyā¦
My guess is, you donāt have a dedicated GPU with enough VRAM so the AI model doesnāt fit. Check the memory in Taskmanager while the model is loading. It probably looks like itās filling up to the brim and then stops.
You need an Nvidia GPU with at least a 12 GB VRAM. The more the better. Even if you could fit everything in 8 GB memory on your CPU the render times would likely be extremely long, I mean hours for five seconds of video.

AI Render Plugin 0901 Version Release Note
I get this a lot when rendering animations. Final mp4 render gets overlaid with pose armature clip in a form of white skeleton. Why is this happening?
(todays update affected also)
Hi 4u2ges
Which video generation template are you using?
Hi Melvin,
I tried Cinema and Wan2.1 Fun in older version of plugin (that screenshot with the Bride) and today I rendered with new HD Realistic with the same result. It goes away obviously if I uncheck Pose in Control Net before rendering.
Also, the white armature is not on the first preview render shot. It only appears after video render complete and starts after a few frames of animation. And it mostly happens when face is distant.
So I guess itās a Wan2.1 Fun āthingā. And I did not render anything with VACE models as I am out of luck with those. Itās always running out of memory with both VACE models while FUN renders the same set just fine.
