Any way to use wildcards combinatorially?

[narrow creek]

I would like to increment some of my wildcard options, rather than just having it choose randomly. On Forge, I could do this with the Dynamic Prompting extension (see here: https://github.com/adieyal/sd-dynamic-prompts?tab=readme-ov-file#combinatorial-generation), but Forge is slow and terrible for me, so I'd love to be able to do it here in Swarm.

Tools -> Grid Generator, Prompt Replace axis

slightly different interface but same goal

Thank you!! I will check it out!!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help with that, and I was able to run my first combinatorial sets.

I still have several items of confusion, though; and would super appreciate your advice

It works for rotating through one wildcard, but if I have two or more different wildcards, I am not sure how to run them in true combinatorial form: for example, if setting and colour are both wildcards with ten items, I don't know how to cycle through each line of <setting> with the first line of <colour>, and then each line of <setting> with the second line of <colour>, etc.

Also, when I generate grids, I always get a long strip (rather than the expected cube).

I've read the documentation, but I feel like I'm missing some big pieces -- I'm just quite new to these tools

one prompt replace axis per list of terms. So, for two sets of ten, two axes, which yields a total of 100 gens in the end

[narrow creek]

Yes! And, I am so sorry, but I don't know how to actually do that.

What would that look like for a prompt like the following:
Some wildcard:colour flowers in a wildcard:setting?

[neat scarab]

like this^

don't use a literal wildcard for it, to be clear

the list of items in your wildcard get copied into an axis

[narrow creek]

ahhh, ok, there's where I'm getting tripped up

So it's just a copy-paste, yes?

first line would be colour, red, blue, green, etc

ok, ok, I think I am following now!!! Thank you!

Another thing --

I have noticed that all of the images generated via the grid use the same seed, but if I add a Seed dimension, it's ... well, it's another dimension. How could I have it randomize the seed as per usual between gens?

Thank you again so much for your help!

[neat scarab]

set an axis for seed, with value as just -1 and that's it

[narrow creek]

ah, thank you very much!!!

Hi,
In dynamic prompt there is a checkbox for Combinatorial generation. If checked, it generates all possible combinations for wildcards and the batch size is overwritten to the number of combination (there is also a possibility to fix a limit for batch).
Ex: I have a text file with 8 lines, checking it will generate 8 images for all possible value and it also works with nested wildcards.
Is such feature available in Swarm ?

aka just read the thread you replied to

[deep orbit]

I did and tried before asking but cannot figure how to make it work.
I have a wildcard with 9 lines, all lines are a single prompt.
What should be the correct syntaxt to get 9 images, one for each line ?
Sorry I'm totally new to Swarm )

note the || stuck onto each line

and then just do a Prompt axis

alternately, with a single wildcard like that, you can have the <wildcard: ... prompt, no grid gen, and sed Wildcard Seed Behavior to Index, and Images to 9

like so

Ok, let me try. I used the wilcard importer extension for this one.
Well I had a try with these setting but had a batch with 9 similar images., not using all prompts in the wildcards.

[deep orbit]

Ok, I finally managed to make it work, your instructions were clear but the screenshot was missleading:
Wildcard seed enabled and set to 1 always select the same line.
Disabling it and just setting the wildcard seed behaviour to index worked.
Thanks a lot for the guidance !

That's interesting. I wonder why it doesn't index.
