NKD VFX Tools turns AI image generation into a controllable VFX pipeline
Nekodificador · reddit · 2026-07-22
What it is
NKD VFX Tools is presented as an AI pipeline for VFX that mixes traditional compositing control with model generation.
Main idea
Instead of treating generation like a lottery, the workflow lets artists art-direct the output using the same controls VFX already uses:
- light
- camera
- perspective
- depth
- 3D placement
Workflow
- Block the shot first.
- Place the light and solve the camera.
- Position the object and flatten the wall.
- Feed the model an image plus control maps that already define the scene layout.
- Generate more like a render than a random sample.
UX detail
Each node has its own viewport, so users can set things visually and see the result immediately without guessing numeric values or re-running the graph just to inspect it.
