NukeComfy

A streamlined integration bridge between Nuke and ComfyUI. This repository provides Nuke Gizmos and Python scripts to push Nuke's node trees, images, and variables to a local ComfyUI instance, executing AI workflows transparently, and retrieving the results directly back into the Nuke composite.

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository into your .nuke directory.

   cd ~/.nuke  # or C:\Users\<YourUser>\.nuke on Windows
   git clone https://github.com/phantomvfx/NukeComfy.git

2. Open your .nuke/init.py (create it if it doesn't exist) and add the following line:

   nuke.pluginAddPath('./NukeComfy')

3. Restart Nuke. You'll now see a "NukeComfy" menu inside the top menu bar containing .gizmo nodes such as KleinEdit, DepthAny, and Normals.

Customization

If your ComfyUI saves outputs to a specific directory, the Nuke bridge expects to pick it up locally to feed the images back visually. You can define this directory by setting an environment variable on your OS: COMFYUI_OUTPUT_DIR=C:\Your\ComfyUI\output

(Default Fallback: C:\ComfyUI\output)
