Shelves with pre-prepared nodes

A panel with “shelves” like in Houdini.

This is a super useful tool.

That is, presets with pre-prepared nodes.

 

 

I VERY often have to create 3-6 nodes in a row with almost the same settings (not default). And I have long dreamed that in one click I could create chains of prepared nodes using my settings

    Someone in the Substance discord has been developing a plugin along these lines. I haven't used it but I really like the idea.

    You gave a very good idea, this could be done as an opportunity.
    However, regarding my proposal, it seems to me that it is still easier for developers to make a callBack script that will create nodes with prepared parameters, instead of complicating their life with sds files.

    I like this, but would take it a step further and consider the ability to drag in an sbs to a graph (as we can now) then have the option to open it within the graph rather than just as a separate graph, as we can today. That might fulfill the ask from @SerQQ as the small node networks could simply be saved as sbs files, and at the same time adding more flexibility when using instances.

    Thank you for your answer, please pass this on to the developers.

    I would really like to see it in a future update

    I dream about this feature every day, how much effort and time it could save me.
