Make your own filters.
Use them anywhere.

A design studio that runs on filters. Explore on an infinite canvas, author your own filters from a prompt, and run it in Photoshop, Figma and After Effects.

The product

One workspace, end to end.

A canvas, a generator engine, an AI author and a timeline. Everything a procedural design project needs, in the browser.

Infinite canvas. Pan, zoom, lay out every variation in one space.
The generators

Five generators, built in.

Each machine reads your image and renders its own output.

Node01
N
Nomascus
gibbon
Scatters points across the image and links them into a mesh of lines and filled triangles, density and color following brightness. Constellation and low-poly looks.
Circuit02
E
Equus
horse
Routes procedural circuit-board art over the image. Traces, pads and components etched like a PCB.
Dither03
X
Xiphias
swordfish
Re-renders the image as classic dithering, halftone, Bayer, Floyd–Steinberg, Atkinson, stipple or cross-hatch, with dot size driven by brightness.
Array04
U
Ursus
bear
Stamps a grid of shapes, built-in variants or your own, picking each cell's shape and color from the pixels beneath. Mosaics and shape-based halftones.
Typeset05
S
Serpentes
snake
Floods the frame with repeating text that takes its colors from the image underneath, turning any picture into source-driven typography. Crisp vector glyphs.
Create with AI

Describe a generator.
Reprompt until it's right.

Author a brand-new machine from a written brief or a reference image. Nexus writes, validates and compiles it, then drops it into your layers with its own knobs.

Raster family
A GPU shader: per-pixel effects, filters and procedural texture. Exports as pixels.
Vector family
A primitive-based drawing of lines, rectangles and circles. Crisp geometry that exports as real SVG.
Use it anywhere

Author once.
Run it natively everywhere.

Build a generator in the Nexus web editor, then run the exact same one inside the tools you already use. Same engine, native panels, no copy-paste.

Nexus running in the web editor
In the browser. Author and tune the generator on an infinite canvas.
Nexus running in Photoshop
In Photoshop. Generate over a layer, written back non-destructively as a new layer.
Nexus running in Figma
In Figma. Run on a selection, dropped back into the frame as real, editable SVG.
Nexus running in After Effects
In After Effects. A native effect on your layer, every parameter keyframeable on the timeline.
For agents

Agent-controllable through MCP.

Nexus ships an MCP server, so an AI agent can author generators and batch-render through them on your behalf.

✓authored "soft halftone", raster, 3 params
✓rendered hero.png at 2048px, returned png

Expose your generator library to any MCP-capable agent. It can create new generators, apply them, and batch-render across a folder, all without opening the app.

FAQ

Questions.

Think of it as a filter you can build. A normal filter bakes in one fixed effect, but a generator is a little machine that reads your image and renders structured graphics from it, with its own knobs you can tune and rerun. Use the five built-in ones or author your own from a written brief.
No. You describe what you want in plain language and Nexus writes, validates and compiles the generator. If you read code you can inspect it, but it's never required.
Yes. The same generators run as native panels in Photoshop and Figma, and as a keyframeable effect in After Effects. Plugins ship at launch.
PNG and MP4 on every plan, SVG and 4K plus alpha video on paid plans. Vector-family generators export as real, editable SVG.
