Since the inception of Stable Diffusion in 2022, the introduction of Midjourney and ChatGPT AI generated images became the hot new trend of the past few years. We saw an increase of AI generated images being used as thumbnails, content and even submitted as professional work. But how useful is it actually especially in the much more demanding professional field of visual effects, animation and games?

Can ComfyUI and AI improve our compositing workflow?

Imagine a fast and efficient way to create custom images without leaving Nuke and staying in our familiar workflow. Did you know that you could use ComfyUI inside Nuke? With the power of Python for Nuke and friendship, a few Comp TDs set out to do just that: Implement a ComfyUI workflow directly in Nuke.

Our guest Tim Riopelle, Senior Technical Artist at Unity, explains how he did it all, from creating previs material for his personal projects as well as assets for a video game. We also explore Python tools to ease the transition to ComfyUI for Nuke artists.
