Version 1.3 Update - Fixed Random + NEW Wildcards!

What's New

1. ✅ FIXED: Random Preset Now Uses Your Input

Before: Random preset generated completely unrelated content
After: Random takes YOUR concept and applies random aesthetics to it

Example:

Input: "cat playing piano"
Preset: random

Before (WRONG): Generated something totally unrelated
After (CORRECT): "A fluffy orange tabby cat sits at a polished grand piano..." 
                 + random lighting, camera angles, color tones applied

2. ✅ FIXED: Advanced Node Random Respects Dropdowns

Before: Random ignored all your dropdown selections
After: Random respects your selections, only randomizes "auto" ones

Example:

Input: "detective in office"
Preset: random
Shot Size: medium shot (YOU specified)
Lighting: auto (will randomize)
Camera Angle: low angle shot (YOU specified)

Result:
- MUST use medium shot ✅
- MUST use low angle shot ✅  
- Lighting randomized (maybe "edge lighting")
- Other auto elements randomized
- Core concept: detective in office preserved!

3. 🆕 NEW: Wildcard Support!

Create dynamic prompts with random variations!

Syntax:

{category:option1|option2|option3}

Example:

A {animal:cat|dog|bird} playing {instrument:piano|guitar|drums}

Generates random combinations:

• "A cat playing piano"
• "A dog playing guitar"
• "A bird playing drums"
• Etc.

Wildcard Examples

Basic Usage

Input: A {profession:detective|chef|scientist} in their {location:office|kitchen|lab}
Result: Random profession + random location

With Presets

Input: A {animal} {action:running|flying|swimming}
Preset: cinematic
Result: Random animal doing random action, with cinematic aesthetics

With Advanced Node

Input: A {vehicle:car|motorcycle|truck} in motion
Shot Size: wide shot
Camera Movement: tracking shot
Preset: action
Result: Random vehicle, but YOUR specified cinematography

Predefined Categories

Input: A {person} using a {tool} to fix a {object}

Built-in categories:

• {animal}, {person}, {profession}, {instrument}
• {location}, {weather}, {time}, {emotion}
• {action}, {color}, {vehicle}, {tool}, {object}

See WILDCARD_GUIDE.md for complete list!

How Random Preset Works Now

Old Way (BROKEN):

Input: "robot in city"
Preset: random
Result: Something completely unrelated ❌

New Way (FIXED):

Input: "robot in city"  
Preset: random
Result: "A sleek metallic robot with glowing blue circuits walks through a neon-lit city..."
        + random shot size (maybe "medium shot")
        + random lighting (maybe "mixed lighting")
        + random camera angle (maybe "low angle shot")
        + random color tone (maybe "saturated colors")
        ✅ Robot and city preserved!

Random + Advanced Node

Standard Node + Random:

• Takes your input
• Applies fully random aesthetics

Advanced Node + Random:

• Takes your input
• Respects your dropdown selections
• Only randomizes the "auto" ones

Example:

Standard Node:
Input: "spaceship flying"
Preset: random
→ Everything randomized

Advanced Node:
Input: "spaceship flying"
Preset: random
Shot Size: wide shot (locked)
Lighting: auto (will randomize)
Lens: telephoto lens (locked)
Camera Movement: auto (will randomize)
→ Only "auto" elements randomized

Breakdown Output Shows Everything

The breakdown now displays:

For Random Preset:

Applied Preset: random

Random Elements Applied:
- Lighting Quality: edge lighting
- Time of Day: dusk time
- Shot Sizes: medium close-up shot
- Camera Movement: tracking shot

User-Specified Controls (Advanced Node):
- Lens: telephoto lens
- Shot Size: wide shot

For Wildcards:

Original Input:
