ComfyUI-AnimePose — weights

Weight files for the ComfyUI-AnimePose custom node. The node downloads them automatically on first run; you do not need to fetch them by hand.

File	Size	What it is
anime_pose_head.safetensors	37.5 MB	ResNet backbone + keypoint head
character_bg_seg.safetensors	233 MB	Character/background segmenter

Provenance

These are a repackaging of someone else's released checkpoints, not newly trained weights. The source is:

bizarre-pose-estimator — https://github.com/ShuhongChen/bizarre-pose-estimator Copyright (c) Shuhong Chen and Matthias Zwicker, AGPL-3.0

Two changes were made, both mechanical:

1. Converted from .ckpt to safetensors, so loading does not unpickle.
2. Dropped the rcnn.* Detectron2 R101 keypoint branch from the pose checkpoint (313 MB), which the node never loads — torchvision's keypointrcnn_resnet50_fpn stands in for it. 351 MB → 37.5 MB.

No tensor was retrained, fine-tuned, quantized or otherwise altered. scripts/verify_weights.py in the node repo checks that claim tensor-by-tensor against the official release: 336/336 pose tensors and 690/690 segmentation tensors bit-identical, 573 rcnn.* tensors dropped on purpose.
