Node Editor

The node editor lets you build complex workflows visually. Connect nodes to create multi-step pipelines for advanced design tasks.

What is the Node Editor?

A visual programming interface where you:

• Add nodes (building blocks)
• Connect them to create workflows
• Execute the entire pipeline
• See results flow through the chain

Think of it like a flowchart for AI operations.

Getting Started

1. Go to Canvas
2. Create or open a canvas project
3. Create a new file
4. Start adding nodes

Node Types

Input Nodes

Image Input:

• Upload images
• Reference previous renders
• Multiple image inputs

Text Input:

• Enter prompts
• Use variables
• Dynamic text

Processing Nodes

Style Transfer:

• Apply styles from references
• Transfer aesthetics
• Maintain structure

Material Change:

• Swap materials
• Adjust textures
• Preserve lighting

Variants:

• Generate variations
• Multiple outputs
• Compare results

Output Nodes

Image Output:

• Final render
• Intermediate results
• Export options

Video Output:

• Animated sequences
• Walkthroughs
• Time-lapses

Building Workflows

Simple Workflow

1. Add Image Input node
2. Add Style Transfer node
3. Connect input to style node
4. Add Image Output node
5. Connect style to output
6. Execute

Complex Workflow

1. Multiple input nodes
2. Processing nodes in sequence
3. Branching paths
4. Multiple outputs
5. Conditional logic

Tips

Start simple:

• Begin with 2-3 nodes
• Test each connection
• Build complexity gradually

Organize:

• Group related nodes
• Use labels
• Keep workflows readable

Iterate:

• Test individual nodes
• Verify connections
• Refine workflows

Use Cases

Material exploration:

• Input: Base render
• Process: Material swap nodes
• Output: Multiple material options

Style variations:

• Input: Design
• Process: Style transfer nodes
• Output: Different style versions

Complex pipelines:

• Multiple inputs
• Sequential processing
• Combined outputs
