Facial enhancement workflow in Foundry Griptape Nodes Griptape 2026-03-04 | Here's a complete, node-by-node walkthrough of a face enhancement workflow using Foundry Griptape Nodes. This video demonstrates how to detect faces in an image, improve their detail and quality using an open-source diffusion model, and then merge the enhanced faces back into the original image for a final composite output.Generative Models used in this workflow:- Sample image Generation: Google Nano Banana Pro API node from the Griptape Nodes Standard Library - Face Detection: Ultralytics YOLOv8 Face Detection from the Griptape Nodes Advanced Media Library)- Face Segmentation: Meta AI SAM3 from the SAM3 Add On Library for Griptape Nodes (github.com/griptape-ai/griptape-nodes-library-sam3) - Face Detail Enhancement: Diffusion Pipeline Builder Node, with a custom pipeline using the FLUX-Krea-BLAZE (huggingface.co/MintLab/FLUX-Krea-BLAZE) model, coupled with the Generate Image Diffusion Pipeline NodeNote that the Krea BLAZE repo on hugging face only includes the .safetensors file for the model checkpoint. To use Krea BLAZE you must copy the other assets from the FLUX.1-Krea-dev repo at huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Krea-dev/tree/main into the directory in your Hugging Face cache where the Krea BLAZE .safetensors file is located. The simplest way to do this is to pull the FLUX.1-Krea-dev using the Hugging Face CLI on the machine where your Griptape Nodes engine is running or the Griptape Nodes model manager and then copy the files using the CLI or file explorer on your engine machine.🔗 Helpful Links:How to Install Griptape Nodes: youtu.be/_5iuCC5SKC0?si=4xxuCJSIWLOYPZQEGriptape Nodes: griptapenodes.com Griptape Nodes on Github: github.com/griptape-ai/griptape-nodes Griptape Docs: docs.griptapenodes.com/en/stable Griptape Discord: discord.gg/griptape
Custom Node Development with AI Assisted Tools Griptape 2026-01-29 | In this video, Ian from Griptape walks through how to build a custom Color Matching node for Griptape Nodes using an AI coding assistant. The demo uses Cursor, but the same approach works with any modern AI coding tool.You will see how to create a node that transfers the color palette from one image to another. In the example, a gritty oil refinery palette is applied to a wheat field, producing a cohesive, post-industrial look. This kind of color consistency is especially useful when preparing assets for image-to-video workflows, animation, or multi-shot sequences.Ian breaks down the full development process step by step, including how to set up a clean node library, how to use the Griptape Nodes library template, and how to leverage the Node Development Guide as structured context for an AI coding assistant. He shows exactly how to prompt the agent with requirements for UI controls, parameters, outputs, and third-party color transfer algorithms.After generating the code, the new node is loaded into Griptape Nodes and tested against the original implementation. The result is a perfect match, demonstrating a successful one-shot generation.This video is a practical guide for anyone looking to extend Griptape Nodes with custom tools, whether you are a creative technologist, developer, or artist seeking more control over your workflow.===Complete prompt:Looking at the guidance in @README.md and the node development guide referenced in that fileCreate new ColorMatchDemo node for Griptape nodesThe ColorMatchDemo node transfers color characteristics from a source image to a target image. High-quality and consistent color matching is achvieved using advanced color transfer methods, including those proposed by Reinhard et al., Pitie et al., and a Multi-Variate Gaussian Distribution (MVGD) transfer combined with classical histogram matching. The node's function is to enable artists to perform efficient color harmonization across different images, improving the visual coherence their projects.Use the github.com/hahnec/color-matcher library to implement the color transfer methods.Node parameters (in order of appearance in the node UI)- Source Image: The image from which the color characteristics will be extracted (accepts a ImageUrlArtifact or ImageArtifact as input)- Target Image: The image to which the color characteristics will be transferred (accepts a ImageUrlArtifact or ImageArtifact as input)- Color Transfer Method: The method to use for the color transfer (drop down menu with options mkl (default), hm, reinhard, mvgd, hm-mvgd-hm, and hm-mkl-hm)- Color Transfer Strength: The strength of the color transfer (float slider with range 0-10 (Default 1). With the stength set to 1, color should be fully transferred)- Output Image: The image with the transferred color characteristics (output is an ImageUrlArtifact)Create the new ColorMatchDemo Node in this directory:/Users/ian/GriptapeNodes/CursorNodeDevelopment/griptape-nodes-library-colormatch-demoUse the project structure specified in @README.md Griptape Nodes Library Template Repo: github.com/griptape-ai/griptape-nodes-library-templateNode Development Guide Repo: github.com/griptape-ai/griptape-nodes-node-development-guideGriptape Discord: discord.gg/griptape

Using Griptape Nodes and OpenUSD! Griptape 2025-11-08 | OpenUSD is a universal format a lot of creative tools use. Using Griptape Nodes and an MCP Server, we demonstrate how to use AI Agents to chat with USD files to compose assets, layout shots, and even create variants.This video demonstrates how to integrate OpenUSD into Griptape Nodes using an MCP server to interact with USD scenes through AI agents .The process involves:- Generating 3D Assets from Images: The video shows how to take a reference image, describe its contents, and then use Flex Image Generation to create 3D renders of each asset. These assets are then organized into a folder structure.- Creating USDZ Assets with Rodin 3D: The generated image assets are converted into 3D USDZ assets using the Rodin 3D generator node, which is part of the Griptape library.- Orienting and Scaling USD Assets: The video explains how initial USDZ models generated by Rodin often have incorrect orientations (Z-up) and are uniformly sized (1x1 cube). Griptape Nodes and an MCP tool are used to scale and orient these models correctly based on the reference image, saving them as clean USD assets with baked-in transform operations.- Positioning Assets on the Floor Plane: The video demonstrates how to use the USD MCP tool to determine the bounding box of assets and then automatically adjust their Y-position so they sit flat on the floor. This can be done either through a nodal workflow or by chatting directly with the USD MCP server.- Composing Scene Layouts: Griptape Nodes are used to build a workflow where an agent can interpret a reference image with a drawn axis to understand the relative positions and rotations of objects. This information is then used by the MCP task to create a USD layout file, positioning all the assets non-destructively.- Creating Asset Variants: The video illustrates how to create a variant of an asset (e.g., an apple with a bite out of it). This involves generating the new 3D model and then using the MCP task to define a variant set within the original asset, allowing easy switching between different versions in applications like Maya.Helpful LinksHow to Install Griptape Nodes: youtube.com/watch?v=_5iuCC5SKC0Griptape Nodes: griptapenodes.comGriptape Nodes on Github: https://github.com/griptape-ai/gripta...Griptape Docs: https://docs.griptapenodes.com/en/sta...Griptape Discord: discord.gg/griptape Griptape Nodes USD MCP: github.com/griptape-ai/usd-mcp-serverGriptape Nodes Rodin3D Library: github.com/griptape-ai/griptape-nodes-library-rodinHelpful Links:Autodesk Maya: autodesk.com/products/maya/overviewOpenUSD: openusd.org/release/index.htmlRodin3D: hyper3d.ai
