Shelves with pre-prepared nodes

To be fully honest, we have an internal version of it, but for reasons I can't mention here we can't release it yet. I agree, it is very frustrating it's not out yet (trust me, it is frustrating for us too) and it's starting to be a bit ridiculous to say "it will be available soon!", but it should be available soon (this year).

In the meantime, Thank you @Marco Vitale to offer your help! We're always happy to see artists creating their own tools!

Best regards,

Hey SerQQ,

I made a plugin a while ago, for exactly this functionality.

It doesn't use groups of nodes, you have to create a subgraph as suggested by davescm but it works quite well.

The plugin works very intuitively (at least I think so ;-)):

• You greate a subgraph or use an existing graph
• drag it into your current graph
• select it and click on the small "+" icon in the toolbar to add this graph to your favourites
• next you get prompted to assign a thumbnail for the toolbar icon (you can skip this, if you don't want to assign a icon to your favourite)
• then a new icon in the toolbar is created, where you can just click on and the subgraph gets placed in the current graph

The User Interface is very simple and far from done. It also hasn't been tested extensively, that's why I didn't publish it yet. But if you want, send me a message and I send you a download link as well as a short instruction video, so you can be my beta-tester and get back with some feedback.

Stay healthy and creative Marco

Checking in on this idea from 2023.

I was disappointed to see that this feature still wasn't included in the new major release, version 15.0. After two years, it's disheartening that a feature which could significantly improve the workflow has not been implemented.

Is there any update on the status of this proposal? Is it being considered for a future release?

Thank you

it's coming soon, stay tuned 🙂 

You said a few months, from what date?

And it's already 2025.

Hello,

This feature is coming, and be sure you will not have to wait a whole year for it! It is a matter of months now.

Thank you for your patience!

I was eagerly looking forward to this feature in the new update. I was very disappointed when I didn't see it in version 14.0.

It turns out the next update will be in a year?

Cool!

Thank you

Look forward to
