Settings

Every Cubric Vision option in one place: how the app starts, what it notifies you about, how media is displayed, what Reuse Prompt copies, where your models live, and the optional RunPod remote engine.

Open Settings from the top navigation on the Projects screen. Version 1.1 redesigned the panel so every option is a single row: its control sits on the right, a plain-language description on the left, and related options are grouped into titled sections.

App behavior

• Auto-start ComfyUI on launch. Starts the local generation engine as soon as the app opens. Leave it off if you prefer Cubric Vision to wait; the first operation that needs the engine starts it once, then it keeps running in the background.

Hover audio is no longer set from here. It is a volume slider in the Gallery, beside the card-size slider, and sliding it to zero is the mute.

Desktop notifications

Desktop notifications fire only while the app is in the background. In-app messages are unaffected, and a self-triggered action you are watching stays silent.

• Generation complete. Notify when a generation finishes while you are in another app.
• Download complete. Notify when a model download finishes.
• Pod connected. Notify when a RunPod GPU finishes connecting while you are away.
• Play sound on notification. Play a sound once when something you were not watching finishes. A whole queue plays it a single time.

Display

• Floating latents when minimized. Shows a small always-on-top window with the live latents while the app is minimized. Local and remote generations each get a tile, finished previews stay with a Done badge, and the window remembers its size and position. Close it with the X, or click a preview to reopen the app.
• Pixel rendering. Changes only how media is displayed in the viewer. Smooth blends pixels like a normal viewer. Pixel-perfect always shows the actual pixels, useful for precise edits. Auto stays smooth at fit-to-screen and switches to visible pixels past 300% zoom.

Reuse Prompt

Reuse Prompt pulls the details from an existing result back into the Prompt Box. These options decide what comes along.

• Copied on reuse. Toggle which parts carry over: Prompt, Settings, Model, Images, Video, and Audio.
• Ask each time. Show a choice dialog on every reuse instead of using the fixed selection above.
• Gallery reuse source. Applies to Gallery cards that hold more than one entry. Original reuses the first reusable generation in the card; Current reuses the selected entry.

External connections

External Connections is where Cubric Vision reads models from disk. You can point it at an existing engine and add your own LoRA and upscale models.

• ComfyUI models path. Optional. Point Cubric at an existing external ComfyUI models folder, or leave it blank to use the internal engine.
• LoRA folders. One primary managed folder, plus any number of extra read-only folders you add with + Add. To bring your own LoRA, drag a .safetensors file onto the primary folder row and Cubric copies it in.
• Upscale-model folders. The same layout for upscale models. Drag a .safetensors or .pth file onto the primary folder to add it.

Extra folders are read-only and additive: Cubric reads models from them, but only installs, updates, and removes files in the primary managed folder (the first row in each group).

RunPod remote engine

The RunPod remote engine lets you run generation on a rented cloud GPU instead of your own hardware. It is optional and sits at the bottom of Settings. Cubric's remote engine runs on your own RunPod account: generation stays on your local engine until you Connect, and GPU and storage billing happen on your RunPod account, not Cubric's.

New to RunPod? The panel's Create RunPod account button opens sign-up through Cubric's referral link, which can include a first-time credit bonus. To unlock the rest of the controls, save a RunPod API key with read and write access.

RunPod can also replace the local engine entirely. If your machine has no usable GPU, the install screen offers Skip this — set up RunPod in Settings and Cubric runs on a cloud GPU instead of downloading ComfyUI — see Getting Started. This panel is where you turn the local engine back on if you change your mind.

• Automatically connect on app start. When on, the app connects (and starts billing) a Pod at launch. Off by default — start local, and Connect when you want cloud generation.
• Auto-retry connection. Pick a GPU even if it is out of stock; Connect keeps checking until one frees up, then connects. You can keep working locally while it waits.

Storage

• Data Center. A network volume is locked to one data center. Switching later means deleting the volume and re-downloading models.
• Network Volume. Stores your models so they survive between Pods — one volume per data center. Stopped Pods keep billing volume storage until you delete it.

Machine

• GPU. Choose the Pod's GPU (Secure Cloud only). Stock is a live hint that drifts; the RunPod console is the source of truth.
• Min System RAM. Optional. RunPod only places you on a host with at least this much system RAM. Leave it at 0 for any. Heavy video models perform better with high RAM because ComfyUI offloads weights to system RAM.
• Connect. Starts the remote engine. Open in RunPod console checks Pod state, telemetry, logs, and spend on RunPod.
• Delete Pod on quit. When on, quitting the app deletes the Pod instead of keeping it warm. This frees GPU and container disk fully; your network volume and models are kept.
