Using Workflows
There are two foundational ways to use Odyssey: nodes and workflows. We've covered nodes extensively in the rest of this guide. A good way to think about the difference between the two is that nodes are the building blocks that help you take an input and turn it into an output while workflows are a collection of nodes that, when strung together, allow you to take an input and turn it into something incredible.
Take, for example, this example workflow where I take a photo of my puppy Tina and place her into the clouds.
To get the result I'm looking for, I need to connect my initial photo to an aspect ratio node, a resize image node, a remove background node, a desaturate node, then a threshold node before finally connecting the image to Stable Diffusion's QR Code ControlNet option. I also need to connect a text node to my Stable Diffusion API node to get a great starting image of clouds then another text node to my locally run Stable Diffusion to bring everything together.
While creating this workflow can be complex, starting from the workflow doesn't have to be. Here's what it looks like when the nodes are grouped.
In this instance, all I need is a simple starting photo that, when run through all the nodes outlined above, leads to my result.
Using workflows
When you first launch Odyssey, you'll have the option of starting with a workflow or starting from a blank canvas. Odyssey comes with a few workflows pre-loaded. We'll be adding more very frequently and you can select from both our pre-loaded workflows and custom workflows you save yourself.
You can either create a new blank document from a workflow or edit the workflow directly. Documents will allow you to change the content and structure of a workflow - but won't impact the workflow itself.
The second way to use a workflow is directly in the Odyssey canvas. Similar to nodes, you can drag and drop a workflow onto your canvas.
Workflows can also be connected to one another through batch input and batch output nodes. It's rumored they will eventually be able to connect to apps outside of Odyssey.
Creating workflows
Once you've strung together nodes to get an output you're happy with, you can save the file as a workflow template to use later on. To do this, go to File > Save as workflow.
We wanted to workflows to have fun, beautiful images to represent them since we plan to have a robust workflow marketplace in the future. To make your workflow image:
Select a thumbnail. Thumbnails can either be an image you upload yourself, an image of the workflow, or any images that are used in your workflow
Select your frame. We've included a few different frame options. You can also design your own frame option by click the + sign.
Name your workflow, give your workflow an author name, and a description
Once your workflow is saved, you'll be able to open up your workflow the next time you start a new document or drag your workflow onto your canvas.
Sharing workflows
Workflows can easily be shared with other creators. In our Discord channel we encourage folks to share the different workflows they've created.
