Video to Normal Map - After
Video to Normal Map - Before

This ComfyUI workflow is designed to convert video footage into a temporally stable normal map, which is particularly useful for enhancing 3D modeling and animation projects. By leveraging nodes such as the NormalCrafterNode and VHS_LoadVideo, the workflow processes each frame of the video to extract and generate a normal map that maintains consistency across frames. This temporal stability is crucial for applications where seamless transitions between frames are necessary, such as in video games or cinematic visual effects.

The workflow begins by loading the video using the VHS_LoadVideo node, which extracts individual frames and prepares them for processing. The NormalCrafterNode then takes these frames and computes the normal maps, ensuring that the lighting and shading information is accurately represented. The VHS_VideoCombine node is used to reassemble the processed frames back into a video format, while the VHS_VideoInfo node provides metadata about the video, such as frame rate and resolution. This combination of nodes makes the workflow highly effective for creating high-quality normal maps from video content, which can be used to add depth and realism to 3D environments.
