Perlin Power Fractal Noise

[DEPRECATED - Replaced by Power Noise Suite]

Create highly customizable PPF Noise input for ComfyUI generation. Using this novel approach power uses can create generations with high frequency details right in their base generations. In many cases, offers better stabilization then base ComfyUI noise, especially for product conceptualization as seen below:

( High frequency noise input allows product generation to be more stable, and centered, following your prompt better )

PPF Noise input seems to help with base generations pixel noise distribution, which in turns helps with post processing techniques such as AI Upscaling, where results show possibly less artifacting:

Comptaibility:

PPF Noise seems to be only compatible with certain schedulers/samplers, and to what extent isn't fully understood. Good setups to try is:

• dpmpp / kerras

• dpmpp / sgm_uniform
