SCAIL-2 (character animation) on 32 GB of VRAM
Yes. Q8_0 fits on 32 GB with 8.6 GB to spare. June 2026 character animation and replacement built on Wan 2.1 14B: a reference image driven by the motion of another video, without pose skeletons. Native ComfyUI nodes.
Q8_0 (18.1 GB) needs about 23.4 GB in use, so 8.6 GB of the 32 GB stays free: room for a larger image, a LoRA or a ControlNet.
Got an RTX 40 or 50? Swap Q8_0 for FP8 (17.7 GB): same quality class, computed natively there.
