Slapshot, the AI-powered VFX toolkit created by the team behind Hotspring, has launched Comfy nodes for its rotoscoping, camera tracking, motion vector and depth-map tools.

Users can now add Slapshot’s tools to the Comfy pipelines they already use, connect them with other nodes and start processing footage in minutes.

The integration is designed to remove both repetitive manual work and the engineering burden that can come with adapting general-purpose AI models for professional post-production.

Varun Parange, co-founder and CTO of Slapshot said: “Our goal is simple: put the best of Slapshot right inside the tools our artists already use every day. Comfy is the ideal medium to deliver our technology. It lets our users integrate our services seamlessly into their pipelines and work exactly the way they want to.”

The platform runs in the cloud, supports footage up to 8K and does not require specialist local hardware. Customer footage is held in dedicated, ring-fenced storage, automatically deleted after delivery and never used for model training or shared with third parties.

Slapshot technology is already being used in pipelines at Netflix, Mr. X, Crafty Apes and Final Cut London. The Comfy release extends that production-focused approach to a wider community of artists who want to incorporate specialist VFX AI without rebuilding the workflows they already know.

Slapshot’s Comfy nodes are available now.
