Core Features

Save and Load Any Nodes

This addon allow you to save any kind of Node Trees in Blender, including ShaderNode, GeometryNode, CompositorNode and TextureNode, with Json Format. The saved node trees can be loaded and restored to any other projects.

Support ShaderNode, GeometryNode, CompositorNode and TextureNode
NodeGroup, Image Texture Node, Color Ramp, RGB Curves, Frame, Rerouting Points are all supported.
Provides Cross Blender version support, as long as the Node Type exists in both blender versions. Future blender versions will also be supported without the need to update the addon, because this addon can pick up Nodes attribute and structure dynamically.

Special Offers

Support categorizing your nodes, helps manage large amount of presets.
Support copy and paste from clipboard, makes workflows more efficient.
Support two image texture saving strategy.
- Auto saving will copy the image to add-on resource folder and refer to that image, so you need to worry about moving the image files will affects those saved nodes. This is also useful when you wan to share your saved nodes. with other people.
- Non auto saving will use the original image path, more friendly for saving storage space.

节点树仓库插件介绍

由 Xinyu Zhu/异次元学者 (xzhuah77@gmail.com) 开发

核心功能

保存和加载各种节点树

这款插件能以Json格式保存Blender中的各种节点树，包括着色器节点，几何节点，合成节点以及纹理节点。保存的节点可以被轻松地加载到其他项目中。

全节点支持: 着色器节点，几何节点，合成节点以及纹理节点
完全支持节点组，图片纹理节点，颜色渐变，RGB曲线，框，转接点等特殊节点
提供跨Blender版本支持，只要两个Blender版本同时具有某个节点，这个插件便可以在它们之间正确保存和加载这个节点，此插件可以动态读取节点的属性和结构，因此可以无须更新就能支持未来版本的Blender节点。

其他功能

支持节点分类，方便保存大量的节点树
可以直接复制和粘贴节点，方便在同时在不同Blender项目之间工作
提供两种可选的图片保存策略
- 默认的自动复制模型会将节点树中引用的图片复制到插件的资源目录下，以防止原图片被移动后无法找到，同时方便分享节点预设的同时分享图片资源。
- 关闭自动复制功能后，插件会仅保存图片的原始路径，节省存储空间。

注意事项

节点树仓库不会保存节点树引用的对象，文本资源等，它们并不被视为节点树的一部分。只有图片资源被视为节点的一部分。引用的物体将会被还原为空物体，保留位置，旋转和缩放信息，几何节点引用的材质也可以被还原。
布局时，如果你在一个框里面套另一个框，可能会导致节点的位置信息无法被正确恢复。
一些纹理节点具有特殊的属性，可能无法被保存
