ComfyUI Node: pipeKSampler

pipeKSampler:

The ttN pipeKSampler_v2 node is designed to facilitate advanced image sampling and processing within the AI art generation pipeline. This node integrates various functionalities such as noise addition, upscaling, and embedding workflows, making it a versatile tool for generating high-quality images. It allows for fine-tuning through parameters like LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) strength, noise control, and denoising steps, providing you with the flexibility to achieve the desired artistic effects. The node is particularly beneficial for artists looking to experiment with different sampling techniques and configurations to enhance their creative outputs.

pipeKSampler Input Parameters:

pipe

This parameter represents the initial pipeline configuration, including model settings and embeddings. It is essential for defining the starting point of the sampling process.

lora_name

Specifies the name of the LoRA model to be used. This model helps in adapting the base model to new tasks with minimal changes. If not provided, the default model is used.

lora_strength

Determines the strength of the LoRA model's influence on the sampling process. Higher values result in more significant adaptations. The typical range is from 0.0 to 1.0.

add_noise

Controls whether noise is added to the sampling process. Options are "enable" or "disable". Adding noise can help in generating more diverse outputs.

steps

Defines the number of steps for the sampling process. More steps generally lead to higher quality images but increase computation time. Typical values range from 10 to 1000.

cfg

The configuration parameter for controlling the classifier-free guidance scale. Higher values can lead to more vivid and detailed images. Common values range from 1.0 to 20.0.

sampler_name

Specifies the name of the sampling algorithm to be used. Different samplers can produce varying artistic effects.

scheduler

Defines the scheduling strategy for the sampling steps. This can impact the smoothness and quality of the generated images.

image_output

Determines how the output images are handled. Options include "Show", "Hide", and "Hide/Save".

save_prefix

A prefix for saving the output images, useful for organizing and identifying generated images.

file_type

Specifies the file format for saving the images, such as "png" or "jpg".

embed_workflow

Indicates whether to embed the workflow metadata into the output images. This can be useful for tracking and reproducing results.

noise

The noise level to be added during the sampling process. Higher values can lead to more abstract and varied outputs.

noise_seed

An optional seed value for the noise generation, ensuring reproducibility of the results.

optional_model

Allows specifying an alternative model for the sampling process.

optional_positive

Optional positive embeddings to guide the sampling process.

optional_negative

Optional negative embeddings to guide the sampling process.

optional_latent

An optional latent space representation to start the sampling process from.

optional_vae

An optional Variational Autoencoder (VAE) model for decoding the latent space.

optional_clip

An optional CLIP model for text-to-image guidance.

input_image_override

Allows providing an initial image to override the default starting point of the sampling process.

adv_xyPlot

Advanced XY plot settings for visualizing the sampling process.

upscale_method

Specifies the method for upscaling the generated images, such as "nearest" or "bilinear".

upscale_model_name

The name of the model to be used for upscaling.

factor

The upscaling factor, determining how much the image size is increased.

rescale

Rescaling settings for adjusting the image dimensions.

percent

Percentage-based scaling for the image dimensions.

width

The desired width of the output image.

height

The desired height of the output image.

longer_side

Specifies the length of the longer side of the output image, maintaining aspect ratio.

crop

Settings for cropping the output image.

prompt

Text prompt to guide the image generation process.

extra_pnginfo

Additional metadata to be embedded in the PNG output files.

my_unique_id

A unique identifier for the sampling process, useful for tracking and managing multiple runs.

start_at_step

Specifies the step at which to start the sampling process.

end_at_step

Specifies the step at which to end the sampling process.

return_with_leftover_noise

Determines whether to return the image with leftover noise. Options are "enable" or "disable".

pipeKSampler Output Parameters:

results

The final generated images, processed according to the specified parameters and settings.

pipe_line

The updated pipeline configuration after the sampling process, including model settings and embeddings.
