Hydra is a workflow series with a single goal, allowing any model to be used with Cascade. Although this is strictly impossible, we can approximate using SDXL checkpoints and Lora's then pass images into Cascade img2img

Hydra-v65 (standard sized)
- based on v54, Simplified for speed.
- combined prompt & image input
- SDXL/Lora txt2img
(reduced custom nodes)

create images to prime the Cascade generation. With careful prompting and a good input image, all you need to do is alter the denoise on the Stage C node.

• light = 0.3
• mid = 0.5
• heavy = 0.7
  try sending an output into the Cascade to get even closer to an SDXL output, or mix prompts and images to experiment blending the same input image in cascade.
