Title: Creating "Macros"
Post by: sjefen on August 22, 2020, 08:31:09 AM
Hi,


Is this possible? Originally written by Jo:


"The macro system would most likely just be a way of cleanly wrapping up a bunch of other nodes into one node, with defined inputs and outputs. You would be able to look inside the macro much as you can look inside nodes now, and see all the nodes that implement the functionality of the macro.

There will not be a macro system in the first release of TG2.

Regards,

Jo"

Terje

Yeah I hoped for this for awhile but don't think it's coming. You. An still contain a whole shader setup within a null shader and save it as a TGC.

Then this made it into my feature requests.

I think this would be really nice feature. Additionally, for pro software, a way to "lock" and save the macro for distribution would be awesome, so one wouldn't have to learn and obtain the SDK for a shader setup they would like to protect.
