I want to make my own material blend and multi material blend  nodes and would like a new preset become default one when I drop the nodes in  graph pane.    Is there a way to do so ?

With the material blend node selected use Ctrl+E to open the graph

In the Explorer panel, right click on the material _blend .sbs and Save a Copy as . I named my copy material_blend_dave.sbs

 

Open this copy and click on the material blend graph.

Scroll down the input paramaters opening each in turn and turn on/off the default setting to hide or show each. e.g. twirl open Channels | Diffuse (Boolean) and set Default to False. 

Continue for the other channels as required

Could you explain please.  Whatever I set in default setting  the buttom 'update' is gray. I can't sae new default .

 

Fotr example I want MAterial blend  node to  have 3 textures : base color, normal, specular  input/output only.   I can save it as a  new preset   but evry time I drop the node it cames in its default state and I have to switch to 3 textures  preset evry time.

Use it in your new Substance graph, it should open with just the inputs and outputs you set.
