The recentish popularity of TouchDesigner has certainly brought with it a lot of interest in node-based editors for graphics. Here's a few open source cross-platform tools that I've used:

Cables.gl @cables_gl https://cables.gl/ ( what I used to make the animation)
Coollab @Coollab https://coollab-art.com/
Material Maker @rodzilla https://www.materialmaker.org/
Pixieditor https://pixieditor.net/
Plugdata/PureData + GEM https://plugdata.org/
Graphite https://www.graphite.art/

Each serves different purposes and does things in different ways. For example, all of the above software can render animations but Graphite and Pixieditor aren't really for live visuals.

Build procedural images with RasterFlow’s node-based editor, real-time previews, and non-destructive workflow. Combine over 250 operations into flexible visual graphs. Generate textures and patterns procedurally, and export results instantly. The same open foundation trusted by the GEGL ecosystem — designed for creators, developers, and technical artists.
