Welcome to Kleebz Tech and another video in our
Fooocus for Stable Diffusion series. In this video, I will go over wildcards in Fooocus.
Wildcards act as placeholders or variables in your prompts, allowing Fooocus to insert a random
element from a predefined list of options into your prompt. Don't miss out on my other videos
covering all aspects of Fooocus, from installation to poses and face swaps. Okay, so how do wildcards
work exactly? It's actually pretty simple. You just do the double underscore, the wildcard name,
double underscore to close it, and then that's it. Now, Fooocus comes with a couple of different
ones; color is one of the ones that you can use, but you can create your own. I'll show you how
to create them, where to put them, and actually even an easy way to create them so you can make
a huge list and not have to type the whole thing out. Okay, so, well, we have our motorcycles.
As you can notice, we have some randomness, but this one looks blue, yellow, and I think
these might actually be the same. The easiest way to find out is that we can go into our log for
our generated images, and as you can see on here, put in a black motorcycle, same thing here, you
got a yellow motorcycle, and a navy motorcycle. And that's all that the key, the wildcards do, is
it's going to fill that in from that predefined list, that list right here. And I'll show you how
to create that and everything, but this one does automatically come in Fooocus, and you can add to
this list. The key thing to know about these lists when creating them, there's no commas or anything
like that; each word is on a separate line, so that will fill in whatever you have on
each line when it loads it up. Now, another thing to keep in mind is you can actually use
multiples and the same wildcard multiple times. In this one, I put in 'a woman in a color (wildcard) dress
(wildcard) which I created, standing near a color (wild card) again, and then 'car,' and it will fill
those in as it creates the prompts. We have our image generations, a variety of colors, a variety
of different dress styles. Let's go into our log, and you can see how it filled in the color
and the dress type, and then the color again, and it got different colors. Originally, when they
implemented this in Fooocus, it would only pull one time, but now they've changed that so it does
pull different ones. Here it is purple and purple, but that was just the randomness that
factored into that. One last thing, I will give you an example of this, is the
capability of it. You can nest wildcards, so you can put wildcards inside of wildcards.
There's actually a 'color_flower' wildcard, and because there's a color wildcard and a
flower wildcard, what this one does is it actually pulls in each of those wildcards and
creates a compound one. We have our flowers, and we have a dime. I'm not sure why we have a
dime, but we're going to find out momentarily why we have a dime when we look at the log. It's
pulling from the color and then from the flower list and compounding them. That's how wildcards
work. First, I'm going to show you where the wildcards are stored in Fooocus and then how
to create them. All they are is text files. That's one way you can do it, and that would be
our own custom list. You can put whatever you want in there; that's all there is to making a wild
card. I've got several different ones in here. I created one for dogs, and looking at that, no,
I did not type that all in. I'll show you how to do that. I did one for dress types, then you have
an extended color list. I think this one might, yeah, that one you can use that instead of just
the regular color. You could use extended color or just change that to color, depending on what
you want to do. Then you have the flower list that we were using before; this has a list of all
the flowers. The nationality list is useful; that one's already in the Fooocus, that's already in
this folder. Some of these I've created as well. And that's all there is to the wild cards. You
just create a text file; you have a list of items in that text file on each separate line. Don't put
a comma or anything like that, no comma-separated values, or you just text file each one's on
a separate line, and it will pull each one of those in. Okay, now to show you the easy ways to
create these lists, if you don't want to type out, obviously, if you only want a few different things
and you specifically want certain things in that list, then you type it out. But if you want to
generate a list of things like colors or any other things without actually having to type them all
out, this is a trick that I have. I use any of the like ChatGPT or any of the other AI programs. I'm
going to use the free version of ChatGPT 3.5 first just to show you how one way that you could do it
if you don't have the paid one. There's actually, if you have the paid ones, is a little bit better
way of doing it so you don't have to go through multiple steps. So all you want to do is ask it
to create a list of common whatever. I'm going to do common foods. You can get more specific on
what you want, top 100, top 50, although if you put too many, it might not get the result that you
want, and put each one on a new line with no other characters, very specific about that, otherwise,
it will put commas, it may put quotation marks or something like that. So we specifically set on a
new line with no other characters. I'm just going to hit enter, and it creates this list. All I
need to do at that point is I can just either copy it all or hit copy code, and then go in,
and in my Wild Card folder, I can create a new one called food, and then in that, I would go
in and just paste. I'll save it, and now I have a food wild card. So that's one way that you can
do it. The other method you can do is if you have the paid version of ChatGPT. I'm not sure what
else is out there and what the other ones offer, and then you can just ask it. I'm going to ask it
to create a text file named food.txt with a list of the top 50 most common foods. I tell it to put
each one on a new line with no other characters, and then I'm going to want to download the
file, and then that should go ahead and create the list for me and create the file, so I can just
download it. I don't have to type it, I don't have to format it or anything. I'm going to let this
do everything for me. Okay, so I have my file, so I'm just going to go ahead and download that
file, and I'll save it as food.txt in here, and now I should be able to go in and generate
some images using that new Wild Card. Okay, we have our images, and we have our variety of
food from our, I'm supposing, our list, since I didn't type any of that stuff in. So, let's load
the log and see what it did. So we have spinach on a plate, beef on a plate, broccoli on a plate,
and eggs on a plate. That covers everything you need to know about wild cards in order to start
adding some randomness to your image prompts. If you found this video helpful, please do consider
