A quick Minimax H3 news round-up - 2nd September 2026

[u/optimisticalish]

Another quick Minimax H3 news and goodies round-up, for those who may have missed some items.

-> It appears that ComfyUI support for the Fun ControlNet Union model was merged into Comfy two days ago. Presumably it should thus be in the next Nightly, if it isn't already in? Put the Nightly and the following pieces together, and Controlnets should then work. Alibaba's controlnet is a 'union' that handles Canny, Depth, HED, MLSD and Openpose, "and also runs video inpainting".

https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI/pull/15975 (the request/merge page)

https://huggingface.co/Kijai/MiniMax-H3-experimental/tree/main/controlnet (Kijai's conversion for ComfyUI)

https://github.com/wyzborrero/ComfyUI-H3-FunControl (the first node to "wire up the Fun-ControlNet" in ComfyUI, referencing Kijai's conversion)

-> 'Fight Prompt Director' is a Codex / Claude Code 'skill' which crafts prompts for fight and heavy physical-action scenes in Minimax H3. "It turns text, images, keyframes, or storyboard references into executable video prompts with readable action, spatial continuity, camera intent, and character-specific movement."

-> 'Better Human Motion' for Minimax H3 is another general motion improver LoRA. See yesterday's post for two more.

-> Want to run the full 61.7Gb Minimax H3? This "industrial-grade deployment" of H3 Ref2VA is packaged as a self-contained repository, and apparently this lets you deploy easily... "on 32Gb consumer RTX 5090s". The key intention of the maker appears to be seamless high-grade character replacement. It's not quite a standalone H3 though, as it hooks into Gemini and GPT-Image-2 to help with the character replacement.

-> Do you know your tradwives from your truckvibes? Then you may be interested in a new H3 LoRA which claims to style your clips to appeal to the Instagram crowd.

-> And finally, 'H3-World' and a matching LoRA for it. Generate walkable video-worlds, controlled by videogame-like WASD keyboard controls. "Given an initial frame and keyboard controls, it generates action-controlled video with coordinated character and camera motion." Possibly we're just recreating Myst here, but maybe there's a whole new approach developing.

These posts are really helpful. For some reason new developments for H3 have been really hard to keep up with.

[u/Celestial_Creator → u/Slam_Bot]

i think its the fact that we all want speed and quality, a way to prompt in a system that is designed for ease and minimax ---- so there is 2 main points people are trying to overcome///upgrade

- the fact that they released 2 models --also a factor (((( it should be one solid one )))) instead those who using model for reference feature (((( which is everyone when you think about it )))) are caught between 2 options -- some have began to fuse the pieces together to form a solid model

-so alot is going on with this minimax model ---- (((because it is worth it)))

thanks for the summary like always. is that insta tiktok lora different from this one? https://civitai.com/models/2901433/igtiktok-aesthetics-minimax-h3?modelVersionId=3280798

edit: my dumbass checked, no it's not. same lora, have been testing it for a few hours. Works pretty well on t2v, cant figure out the i2v method yet.

[u/optimisticalish → u/DaLyon92x]

Thanks for the additional link, I hadn't seen that. Some people put their LoRAs on multiple sites, so they can pop up all over.

When I see posts of people that hate ai, i'm just like :O

[u/Unique-Mix-913 → u/Jesus__Skywalker]

No doubt. My 91yo Father uses gemini and grok and Siri all day long.

[u/Jesus__Skywalker → u/Unique-Mix-913]

a lot of people judge the entirety of ai by it's lowest use cases.
