Re: render tree woes

Never delete my stuff, ever....dammit. How many times does this have to happen.

 Fx tree = nice. render tree = evil.

Yah a mute button on each node too, yes!

This happens to me all the time as well.

One thing that I wish render tree has is an ability to mute a node that you don't want to affect (like Shake) so that

you don't have to disconnect it, but if you want to bring it back you could simply unmute it, or is this already there that I don't know?

This would probably help not losing disconnected nodes.

My temporary not-very-satisfactory solution is to open up the shader tree in the material manager. It seems to allow me to see a bit more but has no locking button so that really really really bad thing that happens when you disconnect some nodes for reasons of experimentation and then you lose them when you close the window accidentally. I would like to vote for the I-will-delete-my-nodes-when-I-want-to approach to tidying up the rendertree please.

I have experienced this a few times too - very strange. You cant scroll across to the end. Im using Fedora Core 5. I get around it by saving the material preset and loading it in again but im sure there's another/better way..

Subject: render tree woes

Hello

Has anyone experienced not being able to get to see all the nodes in the rendertree? I have a material of medium complexity and when I try to zoom right it stops me before I can see the end of the tree. I've been having this quite a lot since moving to 6.5 and usually a combination of opening and closing various windows and standing on one leg fixes the problem. Not today unfortunately. Any ideas?
