Built for the Pro AI Artist

Our users include major studios and advanced creators who can:‍

Run high-performance local or distributed workflows
Integrate seamlessly with existing pipelines and assets
Customize, extend, and control every part of their stack

From a marketer who wants to create brand-focused creative (made with minimal setup) to large-scale VFX production, Griptape Nodes adapts. It doesn’t dictate.

Open Source Means Trust and Longevity

Studios don’t want black boxes. They need confidence that their creative infrastructure won’t break when a vendor pivots.

Open Source = Trust + Longevity. Studios want control, not lock-in. With Griptape Nodes, they can scale AI adoption on their own terms.

Griptape Nodes’ open foundation means:

Full transparency and no hidden dependencies
The freedom to swap models or integrate in-house tools
Long-term reliability and compliance for studio environments
Studio-friendly license (Apache 2)

That’s why studios trust Griptape Nodes.

See Immediate Value

Griptape Nodes delivers immediate compatibility with real-world pipelines.

Reads and writes directly to studio project folders
Works with existing DCCs like Maya, Houdini, and Nuke
Publishes workflows to various targets and applications

Griptape Nodes fits where pros already work, not the other way around.

Performance and Control Where It Matters

Studios don’t always want to “just use the cloud.”

They’ve already invested in powerful on-premise hardware, including workstations with RTX 6000 GPUs, private render farms, and air-gapped networks.

Griptape Nodes bridges that gap:

Run locally for maximum GPU performance and IP security
Scale via Deadline Cloud and distributed execution
Mix and match APIs (like OpenAI) and local models in one flow

Studios can work the way they want to.

Open-source flexibility for pro workflows
API support for rapid innovation
A unified experience for every creative, from indie to enterprise
