Total beginner here: Where do I start learning ComfyUI node-by-node to build complex, custom workflows?
Hey everyone,
I'm finally jumping into ComfyUI, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to actually learn it from the ground up.
My goal isn't just to download pre-made workflows, hit generate, and hope for the best. I want to actually understand what each node does and have the foundational knowledge to build my own custom workflows from scratch. Sometimes my use cases can get pretty complex, so I really need to grasp the underlying logic (the "why" behind the connections) rather than just memorizing spaghetti-noodle setups.
How did you guys get the node system to finally "click"? Are there any specific YouTubers, written guides, or resources that actually explain the mechanics behind things (like why you use a specific KSampler, how latent space works, etc.) instead of just saying "connect this pin to this pin"?
Also, is reverse-engineering other people's workflows a good way to learn, or will that just confuse me more right now?
Would really appreciate any tips or channels you guys used when starting out. Thanks!
