#OpenSourceHiggsfield winners: Panorama Stickers, Blocksfield, Imagination Studio and Paint a Plate, plus 10 open builds worth a look

Best Overall ($10,000, sponsored by Runpod): ComfyUI Panorama Stickers by @noma_door. A MIT node set for placing images, video and 3D into a 360° panorama and shooting any view out of it. Per the README, you can paste stills into a panorama and let a panorama LoRA fill the rest, cut out a view, fix it with an image model and drop it back exactly where it came from, or turn a shot into 3D (MoGe or similar) and re-shoot it from another angle with keyframed camera moves.

Most Innovative: Blocksfield by @SquaredCubeRBX. Its take on Higgsfield's game feature: type a pitch and get a playable three.js browser game or a real Roblox place, built and play-tested by a local 27B model, with art, props, music and an LTX-2.5 trailer from ComfyUI. The author says it all runs on one RTX 5090. MIT.

Most Viral: Imagination Studio by @SamJWasserman and @u1tra_instinct. An Apache-2.0 local 'film studio' for Apple-silicon Macs, Windows on Arm and NVIDIA machines: plan a film crew-style (Sam Wasserman's Slate workflow), generate stills with Qwen-Image-2.1 or FLUX 3 Klein, video with sound on MiniMax H3, then edit and export. Its README warns that available features depend heavily on your machine's memory.

Open Weights Only (also the $2,000 LTX VFX bonus): Paint a Plate by @AInVFX. A ComfyUI node pack with its own page for VFX plates. You paint on the first frame to erase, add or relight, and LTX 2.5 carries the edit through the shot. On a blank plate you can paint smoke, fire or fog, driven by AInVFX's own ainvfx-fluid IC-LoRA. It reviews and exports in the plate's own format (EXR in, EXR out), using FLUX 3 Klein, LTX 2.5 and SAM 3.1. AInVFX recommends 32 GB+ of VRAM or Runpod. Apache-2.0.

Other bonuses: FLUX prizes went to ComfyArt (@jtydhr88's local design canvas with an agent, MIT), Creativefield and Genobi. The MiniMax H3 prize went to H3 Motion (@PxTicks): lift a subject out of a photo, drag it along a keyframed path, and H3 animates it with sound, or mask part of a video and regenerate what happens inside.

Honorable mentions for video makers: Reshoot 4D (re-shoot a video of a person along a new camera path, with LTX 2.3 rendering the final frames, AGPL-3.0), OneShot MV (song plus one line of setting in, lip-synced music video out with beat-driven cuts; invented performers unless you supply a consenting artist's photo, MIT), H3-AudioRetake-Studio (swap a line of dialogue and redo the lip-sync for that passage on MiniMax H3, MIT), Splat Edit Engine (remove, replace or extract objects inside a Gaussian splat), Freefield and Henge (both already in our directory), Sonder Editor and Max Editor.

Signals (not hot by our rule). The official @ComfyDevs post had about 420 likes and 290 bookmarks when we checked, with Runpod and Comfy reposting it. These are entrants' and Comfy's descriptions; we have not run the builds. Licences differ (MIT, Apache-2.0, AGPL-3.0), and the model licences underneath (MiniMax H3, LTX, FLUX) apply on top, so check both before client work.

Our take: for a working video team, Paint a Plate and Reshoot 4D are the closest to real post-production jobs (plate cleanup, sim-style FX, camera re-takes), and Panorama Stickers is a clever way to keep a set consistent across many angles. Comfy is also a judge on HeyGen's agent-made video contest (#HeyGenVideoContest), if you want the next one.
