Kirpi is a visual programming tool allowing to build and execute graphs of connected tasks,
where each node is C++ code.
Kirpi comes with ready-made applications allowing you to build and execute graphs, and provides an API and UI components that you can integrate into your own applications or plug-ins (eg. Maya, usdview, etc.).
Kirpi uses just-in-time (JIT) compilation and execution of C++ code on the fly.
Compiled code is efficient, debuggable and can be multithreaded.
Available on Windows and Linux Platforms
Efficient Workflow
- Live editing.
- View code modifications, revert changes.
- Self-documenting graph nodes.
- Integrated profiling.
- One-click vectorization.
- Generate nodes from existing C++ functions.
- Easy integration into any development environment (IDE, text editor, CMake).
Maximum Performance
- Full C++.
- Just-in-time (JIT) compilation.
- Powered by LLVM and Clang.
- Automatic parallelization.
- Easy use of external APIs.
Seamless Integration
Kirpi comes with ready-made applications, but also provides an API and UI components that you can use to integrate it into your own applications and plug-ins. Here it is used in a Maya plug-in:
- A graph is incorporated into a standard Maya dependency node.
- Users edit the graph directly in Maya.
- Users connect the graph's inputs by dragging and dropping Maya objects from the outliner.
- The graph's input values are exposed in Maya's attribute editor.
Sticky Notes
Use sticky notes to make your graph self-documenting.
Backdrops
Use backdrops to group together related nodes, document them and manipulate them more easily.
Dark Theme
Kirpi's graph editor comes with two themes: light and dark. Just select the theme you want from the View menu.
