aiNodes Engine

aiNodes is a simple and easy-to-use Python-based AI image / motion picture generator node engine.

A desktop ai centered node engine with a live execution chain, python code editor node, and plug-in support, officially supported by Deforum. We are thankful for many great functions adapted from ComfyUI, and various open-source projects, that make this framework possible to exist. ## 💖 Support the project Please consider becoming a patron if you like this project. There are no benefits or restrictions, but it helps the process greatly. Updates are frequent, and the more time I can spare on the project, the greater things can be implemented. Thank you for being here! Your support is greatly appreciated!
