Camera & Light Control for ComfyUI

A visual camera and light director for booru-tag models (built for Anima). Drag a camera and a light around a character on a 3D orbit, and the node turns their positions into weighted prompt tags such as (from behind:3.00), (backlighting:2.40).

If no effect change weight slider.

Features

• 3D orbit preview with a draggable camera and light

• Camera: left/right, up/down, distance and roll, converted to angle, shot-size and dutch-angle tags

• Light: position, intensity (0–2), 14 light types (soft, dramatic, sunlight, neon, …) and 10 colors

• Presets that store camera, light and extra tags; connect a Random Int to preset_index to pick one randomly

• Outputs: prompt, camera_prompt, light_prompt; optional prefix input

Why use it

• Weighted tags. Anima respects (tag:weight), and needs higher weights than SDXL.

• Light relative to the camera. Light direction in the prompt is computed from the camera's point of view, so it stays meaningful when you orbit.

• Fully editable. Weights, dead zones and every tag text can be changed, and there is a plain (no-weights) mode.

• Live preview. The prompt shown in the node matches what it outputs.

Usage

prefix text ──► [Camera & Light Control] ──prompt──► CLIP Text Encode (Positive) ──► KSampler

• Anima expects [quality] [1girl] [character] [series] [artist] [general tags]. Feed everything before the general tags into prefix; camera and light tags are appended after it.

• If the angle is ignored, raise the weights in Weights & dead zones. If the image breaks, lower them.

• Default tags are common booru terms and can be replaced in the Tags panel.
