Node Graph

[fabrizio_s]

Hi,
is it possible to see nodes of node graph in this way (like Cinema4d)?

Yes - use a NodeGraph material as described at https://youtu.be/Yd7jkAnRZpg.

Hi Paul,
yes...but I meant in rhino I see a simple box with coloured spots (i know the features are on the right coloumn). In Cinema I see a box with the names of the features and it's easier...

Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question, but you can rightclick the canvas to add nodes and plug them in to the pins in the material node.

Hi,
I don't understand what these dots stand for.
Take a look at this pic. Glossy material has 12 dots but I don't know what is the first dot, the second etc. I can see in 3 ways:
1 - Expand the item
2 - When I connect a node a label of the dot appear (and it shows that the second dot is Specular)
3 - I can see the right column on the Node inspector

Hi Fabrizio - I am really sorry - but I am unsure what you are asking. The nodegraph panel is identical to the nodegraph in Octane Standalone. Perhaps have a look at the Octane Standalone manual (https://docs.otoy.com/StandaloneH/StandaloneManual.htm) or the OctaneRender Standalone tutorials at viewforum.php?f=51 to get a better understanding of the Octane Standalone node system.

Hi Paul,
you don't need to apologize. It's not your fault but it's my bad english

What I'm trying to explain is that in cinema the material is put in a "vertical" column, with the preview on the top and with the names of the nodes showed (Diffuse, specular...etc). In rhino I see an "orizzontal" material without the preview and without the names of the nodes. I see only colored dots.

The C4D plugin is using the C4D node editor, whereas the Rhino nodegraph material is using the Octane Standalone nodegraph editor - so they are different editors, and have a different appearance.

Ah...ok.

It would be great if in the future Octane Standalone nodegraph editor (and rhino node graph) looks like C4D node editor. I saw 3ds max, blender, cinema (even with other render engine like cycles, fstorm etc) and for me it's simple and intuitive to work with a vertical appearance (with the names showed).

thanx
