Running AI workflows locally can be demanding on hardware and storage. With cloud GPUs, you can skip the heavy setup, save space on your machine, and start generating right away — all from the cloud.
To help our community skip the tedious setup process, we’re providing two ready-to-use cloud GPU templates:
How to Connect to AI Render:
- When connecting, you’ll need the ComfyUI Backend URL.
- After your machine has started, copy the last part of the displayed URL (See the image below), and create a new URL in the this format:
https://999419d6-313a-4a1d-94d8-e0d7b5ff613b-comfyui.runcomfy.com
Note: This is an example, ID changes every time you start a new machine.
- Enter this URL in the AI Render settings panel, under LAN server mode.
How to Connect to AI Render:
- Once your machine is running, simply copy the ComfyUI WebUI URL.
- Paste it into the AI Render settings panel under LAN server mode.
Both templates not only fully support our preset workflows, but also the Flux image and WAN video workflows that will be demoed in our upcoming webinars

I thought the webinar was fairly confusing - at least to me being someone with little knowledge of AI .
What I need is Tutorial that explainsSTEP by STEP process of using the data sets which I have created as described in the webinar but I would like to know what I have to do next to use these for animation ? I’m assuming I make my animation in iclone and render to video before submitting for AI render ?
I’m looking fo results similar to “Camila” that reallusion has shown for examples of output.
I know other users would like more straight forward instruction .
Thank you
[Here is an example of what I believe is a a well presented TUTORIAL - *IN fact I think anyone wanting to learn ComyUi will find the series invaluable - all 50 odd
episodes ! They provide straight forward explanations easy to follow.
I connect to Runcomfy with CC5 and then do a preview and get a failed result so what model do I need to load for Photorealism on the Runcomfy load node?
Hi jzzumster,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
We have identified the issue and our team is currently working on it.
