Nuke AI Hub
Download
Current release
The first public package is being prepared. The version, download link, and SHA-256 checksum will be published here — always verify a downloaded zip against the checksum on this page before installing.
Nuke compatibility
Supported Nuke versions: 13.x and 15.1 are certified today; Nuke 14.x and 16.x are not yet certified. Uninstalling is simply deleting the folder.
What is in the package
NukeAIHub-Consumer-<version>-win64.zip
contains everything; there is no installer and nothing else to
download (Python and ffmpeg are bundled): the
NukeAIHub.exe Consumer Gateway desktop app, the
Nuke plugin source (src/), product configuration
(config/), bundled ffmpeg
(vendor/ffmpeg/), and samples with a quickstart
README.
Install in four steps
- Unzip the whole folder, keeping its internal layout — onto a network share every artist workstation can read for a studio install (recommended), or anywhere local for a single-workstation install.
- Double-click
NukeAIHub.exeon the machine that will act as the gateway. - Sign in with your studio's cloud account — the email and password registered on the Nuke AI Hub web portal.
-
Keep the app running. It publishes its address into
config/connection.json; the Nuke plugin finds the gateway through that file, and all AI traffic from Nuke goes through this gateway — artist machines never talk to the cloud directly.
Then wire each artist machine once: in the Consumer app's
Gateway page, click Generate Nuke init.py and
place the file where Nuke runs it (each artist's
.nuke folder, or a studio-wide
NUKE_PATH directory). Restart Nuke and the AI
panels appear.
Firewall summary: only the gateway machine needs internet access (outbound TCP 443, plus 9500 for the legacy relay form); artist workstations reach the gateway on TCP 9600-9619 inside the LAN only. Details are in the FAQ and the full install guide shipped in the package README.
Upgrading
- Download the new zip and verify its SHA-256 against the value published on this page.
- Close the Consumer Gateway app, then unzip the new version the same way as the install — keep the internal folder layout.
-
If the product folder path changed (new folder name or
location), regenerate
init.pyfrom the Gateway page — the generated file embeds the folder's absolute path. If you replaced the folder in place, the existinginit.pykeeps working. - Start
NukeAIHub.exeagain and sign in. Your account, plan, and tokens live in the cloud — nothing to migrate on the workstation.
