ComfyUI Node: Noise Image Generator 🧅

Noise Image Generator 🧅:

The NegiTools_NoiseImageGenerator is a versatile node designed to generate noise images, which can be used in various AI art projects. This node supports multiple noise generation methods, including uniform, Gaussian, and Perlin noise, both in grayscale and color. It allows you to create complex noise patterns that can serve as textures, backgrounds, or even as a base for further image manipulation. The node is highly customizable, offering parameters to control the noise characteristics, such as scale, center, and frequency. Additionally, it supports optional input images and masks, enabling you to blend the generated noise with existing images or apply it selectively. This flexibility makes the NegiTools_NoiseImageGenerator a powerful tool for artists looking to add unique noise effects to their creations.

Noise Image Generator 🧅 Input Parameters:

width

The width parameter specifies the width of the generated noise image. It determines the horizontal dimension of the output image. The value should be a positive integer, and it directly impacts the resolution and aspect ratio of the generated noise.

height

The height parameter specifies the height of the generated noise image. It determines the vertical dimension of the output image. Similar to the width, this value should be a positive integer and affects the resolution and aspect ratio of the generated noise.

method

The method parameter defines the type of noise to be generated. It can take values such as "uniform_gray", "uniform_color", "gaussian_gray", "gaussian_color", "perlin_gray", "perlin_color", "perlin_fractal_gray", and "perlin_fractal_color". Each method produces a different type of noise pattern, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your artistic needs.

seed

The seed parameter is used to initialize the random number generator, ensuring reproducibility of the noise patterns. By setting a specific seed value, you can generate the same noise pattern across different runs. This is useful for consistency in your projects.

scale

The scale parameter controls the amplitude of the noise. It determines how much the noise values deviate from the center value. A higher scale results in more pronounced noise variations, while a lower scale produces subtler noise patterns.

center

The center parameter sets the mean value around which the noise is generated. It shifts the noise values up or down, allowing you to control the overall brightness of the noise image. The value should be a float, typically between 0.0 and 1.0.

perlin_freq_log2

The perlin_freq_log2 parameter is specific to Perlin noise methods. It controls the frequency of the Perlin noise by setting the logarithm base 2 of the frequency. Higher values result in finer noise details, while lower values produce coarser patterns.

perlin_octaves

The perlin_octaves parameter is used in fractal Perlin noise methods. It specifies the number of octaves, or layers, of noise to be combined. More octaves result in more complex and detailed noise patterns.

perlin_persistence

The perlin_persistence parameter is also specific to fractal Perlin noise. It controls the amplitude of each successive octave, with higher values resulting in more pronounced higher-frequency details.

image_opt

The image_opt parameter is an optional input image that can be blended with the generated noise. If provided, the noise will be added to this image, allowing for complex image manipulations. The input should be an image tensor.

mask_opt

The mask_opt parameter is an optional mask that can be used to selectively apply the noise to certain areas of the image. The mask should be a tensor with values between 0 and 1, where 1 indicates full application of the noise and 0 indicates no application.

Noise Image Generator 🧅 Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The IMAGE output parameter is the generated noise image. It is a tensor that contains the noise pattern based on the specified input parameters. This output can be used directly in your AI art projects or further processed for additional effects.

Noise Image Generator 🧅 Usage Tips:

• Experiment with different noise methods to find the one that best suits your artistic vision. Each method produces unique patterns that can add different textures and effects to your work.
• Use the seed parameter to ensure consistency across different runs. This is particularly useful if you need to recreate the same noise pattern for multiple images.
• Adjust the scale and center parameters to control the intensity and brightness of the noise. This can help you achieve the desired visual effect without overwhelming the original image.
• Utilize the optional image and mask inputs to blend the generated noise with existing images or apply it selectively. This adds an extra layer of creativity and control to your projects.

Noise Image Generator 🧅 Common Errors and Solutions:

size of image_opt and width/height(or size of image_opt) must be same

• Explanation: This error occurs when the dimensions of the optional input image (image_opt) do not match the specified width and height parameters.
• Solution: Ensure that the width and height parameters match the dimensions of the image_opt. Adjust the parameters or resize the input image accordingly.

NotImplementedError

• Explanation: This error is raised when an unsupported noise generation method is specified.
• Solution: Verify that the method parameter is set to one of the supported values: "uniform_gray", "uniform_color", "gaussian_gray", "gaussian_color", "perlin_gray", "perlin_color", "perlin_fractal_gray", or "perlin_fractal_color". Correct any typos or unsupported values.
