Update: v82-Cascade Anyone

The Checkpoint update has arrived !

New Checkpoint Method was released. All Workflows were refactored.

put both inside /models/checkpoints/

v30-txt2img
- updated workflow for new checkpoint method.
- Text 2 Image.

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 UNET/CLIP 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 :)

The UltraBasic Stable Cascade UNET Workflows for ComfyUI:

reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1auzhzm/comfy_img2img_with_stable_cascade/

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

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

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