Purz on Getting Comfy with Shaders: Real-Time GLSL Effects for Images & Video
This talk introduces a Comfy-friendly tool that lets artists apply GLSL shader effects to images and video in real time, adjust parameters live, and render high-quality final outputs without breaking creative flow. Github.

​Bria AI on FIBO, FIBO Edit, and ComfyUI workflows
Bria’s family of models is launching with native ComfyUI integration, delivering modular building blocks that span the entire visual generative AI and editing worfklow  — from creation to background removal and object erasing to upscaling and image expansion. In this talk, we’ll walk through native ComfyUI workflows and introduce the newest member of the FIBO family: Fibo Edit. Fibo Edit is a high-quality image editing model designed for maximum controllability and transparency, combining structured VGL (JSON), native masks, and image inputs.

Lightricks released LTX-2 OSS. Come celebrate with us!
Lightricks has released LTX-2 open weights, LoRAs, trainer, and plenty of documentation. Rachel, LTX's developer advocate and community manager, will give an overview of the release, how to get started, and how to engage with its team. The ComfyNYC community is invited to celebrate a massively successful release, having achieved over 2.3M downloads in less than one month!
