AtlasExportReviewPackage packages up the solved camera into something another person can open and actually look through - a review package directory, not a flat screenshot. This is the "show the supe" node. When you've solved a plate and built the projection, the honest way to share the result isn't a PNG of the viewport; it's a self-contained package that opens in a viewer or DCC with the camera, the projection geometry, and the plate all in place, so someone who wasn't there when you solved it can spin the scene and see the parallax for themselves.

It's the review tier of the export family, and it exists because the pack's audience - matte painters and environment artists working in a team - reviews work in real 3D tools, not in screenshots. A review package is also a decent archival format: a snapshot of the solve's state at a moment in time, complete enough to go back to.

How it works

You hand it the solve and an output_dir, and it builds the review package into that directory, returning the package path as a string. Like the other exporters it's a terminal write-to-disk node (runs even with nothing downstream), and wiring a project in routes the package into the project tree's review/ lane, superseding output_dir.

The package is built from the same machinery that drives the Maya review scene - if you've seen AtlasExportMayaReviewScene, this is the sibling that produces the broader package.

The inputs

solve and output_dir (default review_packages) are required. project is optional. The single output is a string with the package directory's path.

Install and gotchas

Part of the pack: install once via ComfyUI Manager (search atlas-camera) or git clone https://github.com/mikejamesvfx/atlas-camera.git into custom_nodes, restart. Pure Python, no extra dependencies, no GPU, no model downloads - the pack's export tier is intentionally dependency-free.

The gotchas are workflow-shaped. output_dir resolves relative to ComfyUI's working directory unless absolute - a shared drive path for review packages is usually worth setting explicitly. And remember what a review package is: a review of the camera and projection state, not a rendered output. If what you need to hand over is the render or the ACEScg plate, that's AtlasExportPlateEXR and the render path; this node is for letting someone open the scene and move the camera. It's the export that makes "come look at this" not require a walk to your desk.
