Advanced Prompt Generation and Image Analysis

This plugin extends ComfyUI with advanced prompt generation capabilities and image analysis using GPT-4 Vision. It includes the following components:

Classes

1. PromptGenerator

A versatile prompt generator for text-to-image AI systems.

Features:

  • Generates prompts based on various customizable parameters
  • Supports different art forms, photography styles, and digital art
  • Allows for random selection or specific choices for each parameter
  • Outputs separate prompts for different model components (e.g., CLIP, T5)

"subject" input field can be changed to support your style or lora, just add your subject and it will overwrite "man, woman ..." etc.

"custom" input field will add a prompt to the start of the prompt string. For loading styles

ADVANCED PROMPTS

APNext workflow example

Workflow

APNextNode Function

The APNextNode is a custom node class designed for processing and enhancing prompts with additional contextual information. It's particularly useful for generating creative content by incorporating random elements from predefined categories.

Features

  • Processes input prompts and adds context from various categories
  • Supports multiple input types including required and optional parameters
  • Dynamically loads category data from JSON files
  • Provides options for random selection of items within categories
  • Allows for attribute addition to selected items

Categories

The function supports multiple categories, which are loaded from JSON files in a specific directory structure. Based on the provided image, the supported categories include:

  1. architecture
  2. art
  3. artist
  4. brands
  5. character
  6. cinematic
  7. fashion
  8. feelings
  9. geography
  10. human
  11. interaction
  12. keywords
  13. people
  14. photography
  15. plots
  16. poses
  17. scene
  18. science
  19. stuff
  20. time
  21. typography
  22. vehicle
  23. video_game

Each category can contain its own set of items and attributes, which are used to enhance the input prompt.

Usage

The APNextNode class is designed to be used within a larger system, likely a node-based content generation pipeline. It processes input prompts and optional category selections to produce an enhanced prompt and a random output.

Input Types

  • Required:

    • prompt: A multiline string input for the base prompt
    • separator: A string to separate added elements (default: ",")
  • Optional:

    • string: An additional string input (default: "")
    • seed: An integer seed for random operations (default: 0)
    • attributes: A boolean to toggle attribute inclusion (default: False)
    • Category-specific inputs: Dynamically generated based on available JSON files

Output

The function returns two strings:

  1. An enhanced prompt incorporating selected category items
  2. A random output string with additional category items

File Structure

The function expects a specific file structure for category data:

data/
└── next/
    └── [CATEGORY_NAME]/
        └── [field_name].json

Each JSON file should contain either an array of items or a dictionary with "items", "preprompt", "separator", "endprompt", and "attributes" keys.

Note

This README provides an overview of the APNextNode function based on the given code snippet. For full implementation details and integration instructions, please refer to the complete source code and any additional documentation provided with the system where this node is used.

Adding Custom Categories to APNextNode

The APNextNode function is designed to be flexible and allow users to add their own categories and fields. This guide will explain how to do this and how to structure the JSON files for new categories.

Adding a New Category

  1. Create a new folder in the data/next/ directory. The folder name should be lowercase and represent your new category (e.g., data/next/mycategory/).

  2. Inside this new folder, create one or more JSON files. Each JSON file represents a field within your category. The file name (without the .json extension) will be used as the field name in the APNextNode function.

JSON Structure

The JSON file for each field can have two different structures:

Simple Structure

A simple array of items:

[
  "item1",
  "item2",
  "item3"
]

Advanced Structure

A more detailed structure with additional properties:

{
  "preprompt": "Optional text to appear before the selected items",
  "separator": ", ",
  "endprompt": "Optional text to appear after the selected items",
  "items": [
    "item1",
    "item2",
    "item3"
  ],
  "attributes": {
    "item1": ["attribute1", "attribute2"],
    "item2": ["attribute3", "attribute4"]
  }
}

Field Descriptions:

  • preprompt: (Optional) Text that appears before the selected items.
  • separator: (Optional) String used to separate multiple selected items. Default is ", ".
  • endprompt: (Optional) Text that appears after the selected items.
  • items: (Required) Array of items that can be selected for this field.
  • attributes: (Optional) Object where keys are item names and values are arrays of attributes for that item.

Example: Adding a "Visual Effects" Category

  1. Create a new folder: data/next/visual_effects/
  2. Create a JSON file in this folder, e.g., effects.json:
{
  "preprompt": "with",
  "separator": " and ",
  "endprompt": "visual effects",
  "items": [
    "motion blur",
    "lens flare",
    "particle effects",
    "color grading",
    "depth of field"
  ],
  "attributes": {
    "motion blur": ["dynamic", "speed-enhancing", "cinematic"],
    "lens flare": ["bright", "atmospheric", "sci-fi-inspired"],
    "particle effects": ["intricate", "flowing", "ethereal"],
    "color grading": ["vibrant", "mood-setting", "stylized"],
    "depth of field": ["focused", "bokeh-rich", "photorealistic"]
  }
}

Using Your New Category

After adding your new category and JSON file(s), the APNextNode function will automatically detect and include it as an optional input. Users can then select items from your new category when using the function for image generation prompts.

For example, using the "Visual Effects" category we just created:

  • If a user selects "lens flare", the output might be: "with lens flare visual effects"
  • If "attributes" is set to True and "lens flare" is selected, the output could be: "with lens flare (bright, atmospheric, sci-fi-inspired) visual effects"

Remember that the APNextNode function will handle the random selection and formatting based on the JSON structure you provide. This can greatly enhance the variety and specificity of prompts for AI image generation.
