Node Wrangler¶
Introduction¶
This add-on gives you several tools that help you work with nodes quickly and efficiently. Many functions work for both the Compositor and shader nodes, and some functions bring features already in the Compositor to the shader nodes as well. Some tools are made for a specific function, however we have made it our goal to allow complete flexibility for you to use the tools in every situation, even where we did not intend.
Activation¶
- Відкрийте Blender та перейдіть Уподобання – Preferences, потім у вкладку «Додатки» – Add-ons.
- Клацніть Node, потім Node Wrangler для вмикання цього скрипту.
Usage¶
Use panel in Sidebar of node editor or Ctrl-Spacebar keyboard shortcut or individual shortcuts for tools.
Опис – Description¶
Lazy Connect¶
Орієнтир – Reference
| Hotkey: | Ctrl-RMB-drag, Shift-Ctrl-RMB |
|---|
Make links between the nodes without having to precisely select the sockets. Just drag from one node to another while holding Ctrl-RMB. The nodes nearest the mouse are used, so you don’t even have to click on one precisely.
Also, use Shift-Ctrl-RMB to show a menu of inputs and outputs to make a more accurate connection. This is useful when working with a large node tree, since you can easily make connections without having to zoom in and out a lot.
Lazy Mix¶
Орієнтир – Reference
| Hotkey: | Alt-RMB-drag |
|---|
Merge outputs of two nodes using Mix Node or Mix Shader by dragging from one node to another while holding down Alt-RMB. Mix node or Mix Shader node will be added and outputs of the nodes will be connected to it.
Merge¶
Quickly add Mix, Math, Z-Combine, Alpha Over, Mix Shader or Add Shader nodes that will merge outputs of selected nodes.

Batch Change Blend Type / Math Operation¶
Орієнтир – Reference
| Hotkey: | Alt-Up, Alt-Down, Alt-0, Shift-Alt-=, Alt-Minus, Shift-Alt-8, Alt-Slash, Shift-Alt-Comma, Shift-Alt-Period |
|---|
Select mix nodes or math nodes and change their blend type or math operation at the same time. Use keys specified above. They will change blend type or operation accordingly to: Mix, Add, Subtract, Divide, Less than, Greater than. Use Alt-Up or Alt-Down to go through all available blend types or math operations.
Change Mix Factor¶
Орієнтир – Reference
| Hotkey: | Alt-Left, Shift-Alt-Left, Alt-Right, Shift-Alt-Right |
|---|
Change Factor of selected Mix nodes or Mix Shader nodes.
- Use Alt-Right to increase it by 0.1.
- Use Alt-Left to decrease it by 0.1.
- Use Shift-Alt-Right to increase it by 0.01.
- Use Shift-Alt-Left to decrease it by 0.01.
- Use Shift-Ctrl-Alt-Left to set factor to 0.0. Additional shortcut is Shift-Ctrl-Alt-0.
- Use Shift-Ctrl-Alt-Right to set factor to 1.0. Additional shortcut is Shift-Ctrl-Alt-1.
Delete Unused Nodes¶
Орієнтир – Reference
| Hotkey: | Alt-X |
|---|
Clean your node tree. Delete all of the nodes that don’t contribute to the final result.
Swap Links¶
Орієнтир – Reference
| Hotkey: | Alt-S |
|---|
Select two nodes that have something linked to their outputs. Alt-S will swap the outputs. What originally was linked to output of the first node will now be linked to output of the second node and vice versa.
Or, select one node with a single linked input – Alt-S will cycle the link through the available input sockets. Or, select one node with two linked inputs – Alt-S will swap the two links. If more then two inputs are linked, the two with matching types will be swapped (such as a Mix node’s two color inputs).
Add UV Layout Attribute Node¶
Орієнтир – Reference
| Menu: |
|---|
Add Attribute node with the attribute automatically set to UV Layout.
Add Vertex Color Attribute Node¶
Орієнтир – Reference
| Menu: |
|---|
Add attribute node with the attribute automatically set to vertex color.
Shader Viewer¶
Орієнтир – Reference
| Hotkey: | Shift-Ctrl-LMB |
|---|
Viewer Node for shaders. Shift-Ctrl-LMB and the output of the node will be linked to newly created Emission Shader and Material Output. This is an easy way of previewing textures.
Frame Selected¶

Labels can be copied from labels (names) of active node Shift-V, or from names (labels) of nodes that are linked to selected ones or from the names of sockets that the selected nodes are linked to. All options will be revealed in sub-menu after hitting Shift-C.
Modify Label¶

- ; – Link selected when name of output matches the name or label of selected node. Handy for replacing sources. For example Render Layer to image (multi-layer EXR).
Align Nodes¶
Орієнтир – Reference
| Hotkey: | Shift-= |
|---|
Align nodes horizontally or vertically. Same as S X 0 or S Y 0, but with even spacing between the nodes.
