ComfyUI See Through

ComfyUI-See-through

A ComfyUI plugin that wraps [See-through](https://github.com/shitagaki-lab/see-through) — an AI system that decomposes a single anime illustration into manipulatable 2.5D layer-decomposed models with depth ordering, ready for Live2D workflows.

Features

• Single-Image Layer Decomposition — Input one anime character image, get up to 24 semantic transparent layers (hair, face, eyes, clothing, accessories, etc.)
• Depth Estimation — Automatic depth map generation for each layer via fine-tuned Marigold, establishing correct drawing order
• Smart Splitting — Eyes, ears, handwear split into left/right; hair split into front/back via depth clustering
• PSD Export — Download layered PSD files directly from the browser (frontend ag-psd, no Python dependency)
• Depth PSD — Separate depth PSD export for 3D/parallax workflows
• Preview Output — Blended reconstruction preview as a standard ComfyUI IMAGE output
• HuggingFace Auto-Download — Models download automatically from HuggingFace on first use
• VRAM Optimization — Tag embedding caching, text encoder unloading, group offload, and configurable depth resolution for low-VRAM GPUs

Nodes

Node	Description
SeeThrough Load LayerDiff Model	Load the LayerDiff SDXL pipeline (layer generation)
SeeThrough Load Depth Model	Load the Marigold depth estimation pipeline
SeeThrough Decompose	Full pipeline: LayerDiff + Marigold depth + post-processing
SeeThrough Save PSD	Save layers as PNGs + metadata; download PSD via browser button
SeeThrough Parts To Layers	Convert decomposed parts into a core LAYERS document — connect to ComfyUI's Create Layered Image node to edit the stack in the built-in layer editor (position, opacity, blend modes)
