New Node: Live Sync 3D Apps (Maya/Blender) to ComfyUI
Vivid-Loss9868 · reddit · 2026-08-28
A developer released 'Viewport-sync', a custom node bridging 3D DCCs (Maya, Blender, Houdini, etc.) and ComfyUI.
Key Features:
- Live Sync: Pose, light, and animate scenes in your DCC and stream them live as conditioning to ComfyUI, eliminating export/import loops.
- ControlNet Passes: Automatically render depth, normals, edges, and AO directly from the viewport.
- FX Library: Includes built-in materials and effects (fire, smoke, water) for scene blocking.
- Animation Support: Timeline and frame synchronization enabled.
This workflow allows artists to block out shots precisely in 3D first and let the diffusion model handle the final look, rather than re-rolling prompts to find the right camera angle.
