New User - Help finding these answers?

Post by vedev »

Hello!
I've been having a lot of fun getting to know this program and its gentle learning curve. I'm finally getting to a point where I'm wondering if certain features exist that I'm used to from other programs. I've read through the manual and I'm hoping I missed these:
  • Is there a shortcut to view the output of the selected module?
  • Any idea if 4k video output is on the horizon? I just filled up 150gigs with a png sequence :D
  • I've read the post on linking the x and y parameters to the mouse variable in the GLSL Shader, is there a way to add more parameters/fields?
  • Long Shot: Is there a way to insert/add modules by typing in the first few letters of the module name?
Thank you for any help!

Hey

No you can't momentarily view the output of the selected node but you can momentarily drag its connector to the output (magic) node.

I'm just an enthusiastic user so I can't speak on the developers behalf but I believe a wide range of new output types are on the todo list.

You have XYZW (four variables) to play with: iMouse.xy and iMouse.zw. You can make as many parameters you like if you convert the shader to ISF.

Searching for modules by typing is a feature request though, again, its up to the developer how and when and if this is implemented.

Funny you should mention those specific things because they are all coming very soon -- in one of the next few releases.

As Sadler mentioned, you will definitely want to investigate ISF. Start with these threads:
