    UPDATE: removed Photomaker version, because it actually had no effect.

    I want to stress that you MUST update your comfyUI to the latest version, you should also update ALL your custom nodes because there is no way to know which ones might have affect the UNET, CLIP and VAE spaces which cascade is now using to generate our images.

    In addition, i have disabled a lot of custom nodes i did not need on that run. it's easy, just add ".disabled" to the folder name. This is what the button does in the manager. it's very easy to "switch off" some custom nodes in this way.

    Everything Below applied to the early Method for loadings all the models here: official repo: https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-cascade

    ~ i will leave the Early method here, for anyone wishing to use it :)

    UltraBasic Stable Cascade Workflows for ComfyUI:
    Article here: https://civarchive.com/articles/4161

    IMG2IMG UPDATE:

    these older workflows were deprecated on day 4 by a new method, however still work fine.

    v10 = txt2img Stable Cascade here: https://civarchive.com/models/310409?modelVersionId=348385

    v12 = v10 txt2img without custom nodes: https://civarchive.com/models/310409?modelVersionId=351470
    v16 = img2img (stage C) Stable Cascade Workflow here: https://civarchive.com/models/310409?modelVersionId=351400
    v17 = v16 img2img without custom nodes for scaling: https://civarchive.com/models/310409?modelVersionId=351464
    v18 = v16 img2img (stage B and C ) now supported by new default node: https://civarchive.com/models/310409?modelVersionId=351658

    You can squeeze it only any GPU if you use the correct combination.
    These notes are in the Workflow also ;)

    Cascade Combos:

    • stage_b + stage_c ~ 22GB

    • stage_b_bf16 + stage_c_bf16 ~ 12GB

    • stage_b_lite + stage_c_lite ~ 8GB

    • stage_b_lite_bf16 + stage_c_lite_bf16 ~ 5GB

    I put together to paths you need to put all the models in case you had to manually DL each of them, due to a poor connection or whatever :)

    Huggingface has the models we need, follow the chart below to find where they go

    Runs fine on my RTX 2060 too!

    Do you have any tips (or is there some good article) about settings for the two KSamplers? I am wondering how to set steps, CFG, and samplers now that there are two nodes instead of older models' one.

    the best tip i can offer is that the first ksampler seems to be the one you must use denoise with. there is a lot of posts around on the best settings. there is a rush right now to find them. The settings i have in the workflows are my best defaults, if i find better settings, future versions will have those baked in.

    If you find nice settings recipes, please post them in the comments :D

    I'll take a look and see if i can replicated this now....
    EDIT: i updated comfyUI just now and ran the V50-img2vision workflow
    It is working as it should be. try to download the workflow again after updating your ComfyUI

    if you are having trouble with the more complicated method of loading all these UNET and CLIP models, consider trying the new updated method which is just two checkpoints that go into /models/checkpoints/

    I put a new video up explaining how to get this setup. The UNET method did not use the Checkpoint loader yet, so i reckon if you grab those new models and the new workflows (i had to rewrite them all everyday since launch haha) it should work for you.

    I had people with 8GB or less report it's working, so let me know

    Bolly_DiffusionFeb 20, 2024

    @driftjohnson Nevermind i got it working with this workflow, almost same but dont know how it worked :D
    https://comfyworkflows.com/workflows/15b50c1e-f6f7-447b-b46d-f233c4848cbc, The generated images are very bad though(like stable diffusion 1). Most probably because i am using smaller models.

    @Bolly_Diffusion thanks for letting me know :D i'm using vision with reactor in my latest workflow, so be sure to take a look and see if you can use that. It's all built in with the new checkpoints.

    @driftjohnson new models just give out of memory from the start while old method works on 8gb (amd)

    @patientx737 Thanks for confirming this man, I'll be sure to make a big song and dance about this in the next video. it's great news as all the work that was done on making the UNET/CLIP method workflows is still REALLY useful for anyone on low VRAM. Thanks again - I cannot test this without swapping my GPU out ! Saved me some hassle :)
