Orion4D_generative_paint Brings Layered Drawing To ComfyUI Workflows

A glowing digital paintbrush that seamlessly transforms into a web of glowing node connectors.

Orion4D_generative_paint is a new custom node for ComfyUI that adds a full-featured painting interface you can open directly in your browser. It lets users draw, layer, mask, and compose images without ever leaving their local AI workflow. The tool outputs a standard RGB image, a version with preserved transparency, and a dedicated mask for further processing.

Orion4D developed this node as a lightweight, integrated alternative to external image editors. It serves creators who need to quickly prepare base images, masks, silhouettes, or inpainting workspaces while building a ComfyUI graph. The project is open source and made specifically for the ComfyUI community.

A local image editor inside your workflow

Key Features
  • Layered, non‑destructive editing with blend modes.
  • Brush, eraser, fill, and shape drawing tools.
  • Lasso, rectangle, and ellipse selection tools.
  • Gradient and gradient eraser with multiple modes.
  • Project saving and reloading, all local.
  • Symmetry, randomness, and parameter‑driven effects.
  • Output as RGB image, RGBA, or mask.
  • Custom color palettes and external image imports.

This tool fits anyone running ComfyUI locally who needs a quick way to create or edit base images and masks without relying on cloud services or separate software. Privacy‑conscious professionals can keep their entire image pipeline on their own machine. Small studios and serious hobbyists will find it useful for speeding up iterative AI‑assisted design directly inside the node graph.

What to know about this first release

The interface runs entirely in the browser, so keyboard shortcuts may behave differently across systems and very large canvases can eat up memory. The local project system stores everything inside the custom node’s folder, and custom effects require properly structured scripts. The developer notes that this initial version is functional but may still show minor rough edges.

"Generative Paint is not intended to replace Photoshop, Krita, or GIMP. Its objective is different: to offer a lightweight, local graphic editor integrated into ComfyUI." — Source: GitHub
