1. Workflow Overview
This "Mecha Transformation" workflow uses WAN2.1 video model to dynamically convert portraits into armored warrior videos. Key features:
Background preservation
Smooth human-to-mecha morphing
720P output (16FPS)
2. Core Models
Main Model: FP8-optimized
Wan2_1-I2V-14BLoRA:
WAN2.1 Mecha Transform(specialized)Video VAE: FP32 precision decoder
3. Key Nodes
