Local generative AI · ComfyUI
Local generative AI, in your VFX pipeline
ComfyUI workflows designed for production, local first: data confidentiality and rigorous technical control, from the prompt to the export for compositing. Cloud models complement the setup when the project allows.
Local first
Models run on the machine, with no subscription. The cloud is a complement, not a replacement.
Confidential
Locally, shots and assets never leave the studio. A cloud model only comes in if the project allows it.
Controllable
Node-based workflows, not a black box: every step can be controlled.
Up to standard
32-bit HDR EXR, compatible with Nuke, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve.

Project: Post-production – After Effects compositingPlate clean-up, retouching and roto
- Removing reflections, wires and unwanted elements
Clean removal on live-action shots. - Automatic masks and roto from prompt
Automated cut-out and rotoscoping to quickly isolate an element. - Inpainting and outpainting
Targeted correction of an area, or extending the set beyond the original frame. - Replacing elements from a prompt
Swapping objects, clothing or details.

2026 AI showreel: 3D depth driven + keyframesVideo animation and studio quality
- Image-to-video and multi-keyframe
Animating concept art or still frames, driven by several keyframes. - Video via ControlNet (depth, canny)
Animation guided by geometry or a depth pass to avoid artefacts. - Infinite video
Seamless loops and continuous shots. - Detailer pass and upscaling
Refining micro-textures and faces; faithful technical or creative upscaling.
2026 AI showreel: Gaussian splat generation (Apple SHARP)3D, textures, custom models and audio
- Depth maps and Gaussian Splatting
Depth passes for compositing, reconstruction of scenes in 3D. - PBR and tileable PBR textures
Realistic, repeatable materials for 3D shading. - LoRA and LoRA training
Custom models trained on your styles, characters or objects. - Voice, sound effects and sound-driven video
Audio generation and motion synced to sound, with or without a starting image.
From the 3D scene to compositing
A 3D base to drive the AI: the structure brings rigour to the generation and removes the usual hallucinations of generative video.
- 01 Houdini 3D layout Scene, camera and depth pass export.
- 02 Flux First frame Photorealistic render that respects the depth map; ControlNet, IPAdapter and LoRA for consistency.
- 03 LTX Animation Motion guided by the first frame and the original depth pass.
- 04 Detailer Finishing Detail pass and upscale before delivery.
- 05 OCIO Export 32-bit EXR sequence in ACEScg, plus an MP4 proxy to approve the shot.
A Technical Artist's eye
As an FX artist, my role has always been to master technology in service of an artistic vision. I bring in generative AI not to replace the creative process, but to augment it.
Coming from procedural environments like Houdini and Nuke, adopting ComfyUI was a natural step: its node-based architecture gives fine control over every stage of generation, where other tools rely too much on chance.
Local remains my priority: that is where control, confidentiality and reproducibility are. I also use some cloud models, as a complement, when they bring a real plus to an image, a shot, a voice or a piece of music.
