Node Wrangler

Node Wrangler provides various tools that help you to work with nodes quickly and efficiently.

While many of this add-on's functions work in all supported node editors (Compositor, Shader, Geometry Nodes, and Texture Nodes) some functions only work in specific node editors, and some functions work differently per editor. Functions that only work in specific editors are marked with labels (Compositor, Shader, Geometry Nodes, Texture Nodes). Functions without labels should work for all node editors.

Activation

  • Open Blender and go to the Preferences, then the Add-ons tab.

  • Find Node Wrangler and enable the add-on.

使用方法

Use the panel in Sidebar of the node editor or press Shift-W to bring up the quick access menu. You can also look up the shortcut list in the add-on preferences panel.

You can access most functions from the sidebar panel or quick access menu.

Description(詳細)

Lazy Connect

参照

ショートカットキー:

Alt-RMB-drag, Shift-Alt-RMB-drag

Connect two nodes without even clicking the sockets. Just drag the cursor from one node to another while holding Alt-RMB. It will select the nodes nearest the start and end points of the drag for connection, so you don’t even have to click on the nodes.

../../_images/addons_node_node-wrangler_lazy-connect.png

Selection can be lazy.

It tries to connect the best-matched sockets possible, based on their names, types, and whether they are open or not.

For a more precise connection, you can alternatively use Shift-Alt-RMB. It brings up menus of available inputs and outputs before connection, so you can select the exact sockets to connect. It's especially useful when working with a large node tree since you can make connections without frequently zooming in and out.

Lazy Mix

参照

ショートカットキー:

Shift-Ctrl-RMB-drag

Connect the outputs of two nodes into an appropriate "mix" type of node. This is the "lazy" way of selecting nodes and executing the Mix function from Merge with Automatic Type Detection.

Merge(マージ)

参照

Menu(メニュー):

Node Wrangler ‣ Merge Selected Nodes

Connect outputs of the selected nodes into a "mix" type of node (Mix, Math, Z-Combine, Alpha Over, Mix Shader, Add Shader, Join Geometry).

注釈

Merge currently does not support outputs of Integer, String, or Boolean types from Geometry Nodes.

There are automatic and manual ways of merging. The automatic ways let the add-on determine which "mix" node to use based on the types of outputs to merge. The manual ways let you decide and force connections even if the types of outputs and the "mix" node are not compatible.

注釈

Generally, the modifier part of the shortcut signifies the type of "mix" node you want to use (Ctrl for automatic detection, Ctrl-Alt for the Mix node, and Shift-Ctrl for the Math node), the non-modifier part signifies the mode of "mix" node you want to set (NumpadPlus for add, NumpadMinus for subtract, NumpadSlash for divide, and NumpadAsterisk for multiply).

Merge with Automatic Type Detection

The automatic merge functions determine the type of "mix" node to use based on the types of outputs to merge. If it has a Color output, it will use the Mix node. It will use the Math node if both outputs are of Value type. Add Shader, Mix Shader, and Join Geometry nodes will also be used for specific cases.

モード
Add Ctrl-=, Ctrl-NumpadPlus

Merge into Mix or Math nodes, then set blend mode or math operation as Add. If the outputs are Shaders, it will use Add Shader node instead.

Multiply Ctrl-8, Ctrl-NumpadAsterisk

Merge into Mix or Math nodes, then set blend mode or math operation as Multiply.

Subtract Ctrl-Minus, Ctrl-NumpadMinus

Merge into Mix or Math nodes, then set blend mode or math operation as Subtract.

Divide Ctrl-Slash, Ctrl-NumpadSlash

Merge into Mix or Math nodes, then set blend mode or math operation as Divide.

Mix Ctrl-0, Ctrl-Numpad0

Merge into Mix node, then set blend mode as Mix. If the outputs are Shaders, it will use Mix Shader node instead. If the outputs are Geometry, it will use Join Geometry node.
