Install for ComfyUI

Install the hf command if needed:

python -m pip install -U huggingface_hub

Download this repository directly into ComfyUI's shared model directory:

hf download t8star/DreamX-Creator-Comfy --local-dir ComfyUI/models/dreamx_creator

The resulting model root must be:

ComfyUI/
└── models/
    └── dreamx_creator/          # select model_root=auto in the loader
        ├── creator/

model_root=auto searches the custom-node repository's checkpoints/ first, then ComfyUI/models/dreamx_creator/. Therefore this node-local layout also works:

hf download t8star/DreamX-Creator-Comfy --local-dir ComfyUI/custom_nodes/Comfyui-DreamX-Creator-T8/checkpoints

The complete bundle contains 20 model/config/tokenizer files and is approximately 54.25 GB (50.53 GiB). Validate the download before loading the models:

python ComfyUI/custom_nodes/Comfyui-DreamX-Creator-T8/scripts/verify_models.py ComfyUI/models/dreamx_creator

Components

Directory	Used by	Contents
creator/	Creator workflow	7B joint video/audio DiTs and cross-modal attention
audio_vae/	Creator workflow	CreatorDACVAE audio decoder
refiner/	Refiner workflow	SR-DiT 5B and latent upsamplers
wan2.2_ti2v_5b/	Both workflows	Wan VAE, UMT5-XXL encoder, and tokenizer

The Creator and Refiner are intended to run as separate ComfyUI workflow phases so both large models do not remain resident on the GPU at the same time.
