I’ve been working on Modly, and I recently started experimenting with a node-based extension system.

The idea is to let people build their own workflows using nodes that can be written in python or js/ts, instead of having a fixed pipeline.

Instead of just “generate and export”, you could chain steps like preprocessing, generation, post-processing, etc.

I’m curious if this kind of node-based workflow would actually be useful in practice, or if it just adds complexity.

One interesting thing is that someone already started building an auto-rigging workflow on top of it, which wasn’t something i initially planned for.

Would love to hear how you’d approach this do you prefer fixed pipelines, or more flexible node-based systems ?
