alpha 0.1.0-alpha.5 · testers wanted
A node compositor for film and TV work that runs every node on the GPU. It opens Nuke .nk scripts and uses the panels, node names and shortcuts Nuke artists already know, with AI roto and matting, Cycles rendering and a review app in the same download.
Alpha · Linux, Windows and macOS (Apple Silicon) · unsigned test builds
nuke Python functionsThe panel layout, node names, knobs and keyboard shortcuts follow Nuke's, so an artist can sit down and work. It opens Nuke .nk scripts, has a nuke Python module for your tools and gizmos, and runs OFX plugins in their own process.

Click a person to get a tracked matte, then fix only the frames it flags. Depth, normals, relighting, motion vectors, upscaling, denoising, clean plates and generation are nodes like any other. Models run on your own GPU; frames never go to an online service.
An interactive 3D view and Cycles as the main renderer, live in the Viewer or as a CyclesRender node with GPU denoising. Imports USD, Alembic, FBX and OBJ. Karma works with your own Houdini.
Cycles and USD rendering ship in the Linux build today; macOS and Windows get them later.
A separate Review app with a multi-track timeline: conform EDL, OTIO, XML and AAF, compare versions, annotate, and export shots with comp files. Notes from review show up in the compositor's Viewer.
Each node is a GLSL shader on 32-bit float images with a C++ core for evaluation and caching. Scene-linear colour through OpenColorIO.
A command-line renderer with Nuke-style flags and exit codes, plus OpenCue, Flamenco, Deadline 10 and Open Job Description integrations, and a built-in network farm.
An AI Assistant and an MCP server let outside agents use the same tools. Every change is proposed first; the artist approves it.
No telemetry. An offline policy that blocks every network request. Model licences shown and accepted per user, never bundled.

It adds the menu entries and the .oink file type.Download the build for your system above. It runs next to anything else; nothing on your machine is changed beyond its own folder, menu entries and file type.
The app checks this page for new builds and offers to install them. Help > Check for Updates... checks right away.
Help > Report a Bug... writes an email to support@megasupersoft.com with a diagnostic bundle you can read before sending. Say what you did, what you expected, what happened.
Nothing is sent automatically: no telemetry, no crash upload. Logs and crash files stay on your machine until you send them.
The alpha builds cost nothing to download and test.
No. Oink is proprietary software by MegaSuperSoft. It includes open-source components (FFmpeg, OpenImageIO, OpenColorIO, Cycles, Electron and others); their licences and source are listed with every download.
Yes, .nk scripts import: nodes, knobs, expressions and links are translated, and anything that cannot be is listed. Save the result as an .oink comp.
No. Blender 5.2 LTS is optional and only adds EEVEE renders and opening .blend files.
Any GPU with OpenGL 4.6 (Linux) or DX12 / Metal runs the compositor. GPU Cycles renders and the AI tools want an NVIDIA card; everything also runs on the CPU, slower.
No. AI models run on your own GPU. The only online parts are downloads you start (models, updates), and a studio offline policy can block even those.
Alpha builds are not code-signed yet, so the system warns once. The first-launch steps above get past it.
