Kitbashing with AI (Street Scene Edition): How to Streamline 3D Workflows Using ComfyUI Nodes
In our recent workshop, we dove into the transformative potential of AI-powered kitbashing—a technique designed to streamline 3D production workflows and help you quickly assemble and refine assets. This session focused on practical, hands-on strategies for integrating MPX ComfyUI nodes into your kitbashing process, setting up your API keys, and experimenting with nodes powered by OpenAI’s API. Read on for a detailed recap and watch the full recording below.
Workshop Overview
Objective:
The workshop was designed to provide professionals in 3D production—whether you’re a layout artist, previs specialist, or technical artist—with actionable insights on how to use AI to enhance kitbashing and overall workflow efficiency.
Key Topics Covered:
AI-Powered Kitbashing: Learn how to accelerate asset creation and iteration through AI-driven kitbashing techniques using MPX ComfyUI nodes.
Installation & Setup: We guided attendees through downloading and installing ComfyUI (available for both Mac and PC) and setting up the MPX developer API key.
Experimental Nodes: Explore experimental nodes that leverage OpenAI’s API to further enhance the kitbashing process and boost creative productivity.
Step-by-Step Process
Downloading and Installing ComfyUI: We began with a walkthrough on downloading and setting up ComfyUI, ensuring a smooth start for Mac and PC users. (Download ComfyUI)
Setting Up Your MPX Developer API Key: A step-by-step guide helped participants configure their API key, a vital component for integrating MPX nodes into your kitbashing and 3D workflows. (Set up your keys on developers.masterpiecex.com)
