How DynamicPrompts Custom Nodes Works

At its core, comfyui-dynamicprompts leverages a set of custom nodes that you can integrate into your existing ComfyUI workflows. These nodes allow you to define templates with placeholders and rules for generating dynamic prompts. Here's a simple analogy to help you understand:

Imagine you have a recipe book (your prompt template) with ingredients (placeholders) that can be swapped out for different items (random or combinatorial elements). comfyui-dynamicprompts helps you create new recipes (prompts) by mixing and matching these ingredients in various ways.

Basic Principles:

1. Templates: Define a base structure for your prompts with placeholders.
2. Randomization: Use nodes to randomly select elements for your placeholders.
3. Combinations: Iterate through all possible combinations of elements.
4. Enhancements: Add modifiers and related prompts to enrich your base template. By combining these principles, you can generate a diverse set of prompts that can inspire and guide your AI art projects.

DynamicPrompts Custom Nodes Features

Random Prompts

This feature allows you to generate prompts with random elements. For example, if you have a template like "A {red|green|blue} ball," the Random Prompts node will randomly choose one of the colors each time it generates a prompt.

Combinatorial Prompts

The Combinatorial Prompts node iterates through every possible combination of elements in your template. For example, "A {red|green|blue} ball" will generate:

• A red ball
• A green ball
• A blue ball

I'm Feeling Lucky

This node uses your base prompt to fetch a related prompt from Lexica.art. It's like having a creative assistant that suggests new ideas based on your initial input.

Magic Prompt

Magic Prompt employs a neural network to add relevant modifiers to your base prompt. For instance, "A beautiful landscape" might be enhanced to "A beautiful landscape with rolling hills and a sunset."

Jinja2 Templates

For advanced users, Jinja2 Templates allow you to write complex prompts using the Jinja2 templating language. This feature is useful for creating highly customized and dynamic prompts.

DynamicPrompts Custom Nodes Models

Currently, comfyui-dynamicprompts does not include different models. However, it leverages external resources like Lexica.art for the "I'm Feeling Lucky" feature and neural networks for the "Magic Prompt" feature.
