Re: Nodes and Nodegraphs in Lua.


Congrats, keep up the good work! Is this pass of a larger project or was it just a test with lua?

cheers,

Thanks!
this makes it possible to easily apply materials prepared in octane
for scenes with frequently used models
for me it is a great benefit!
it was not a test
it was to create ...
