Node Info Tab

Nicholas Seavert edited this page Mar 24, 2018 · 6 revisions

The Node Info tab displays editable settings for each node.

The Node Info tab is empty by default, so for anything to show up you have to click on a node.

For instance, here are the Random Node's settings displayed in the Node Info tab.

Node Info Tab

To understand what each setting does, you should take a look at all of our Nodes.

Useful Controls

Action Command Image
Sliding Values Each input box in VectorayGen is a 'Drag Slider' meaning if you hover over it with your mouse, Left-Click and Drag left to right, the values will change.
Overriding Values By default all input boxes have minimum and maximum values, however, you can override any of these values by CTRL + Left-Click in the box or by Double Left-Clicking it and then enter your desired numeric value.
Drop Down Menus Some nodes may have a drop-down box with various options. Left-Click the drop-down box to see other options and Left-Click again to select your desired option.
Checkboxes Most nodes will have checkboxes within their node info. These checkboxes enable or disable various settings. To Enable or Disable a Checkbox, Left-Click it. A Check inside the box means that it is enabled and an empty box means it is disabled.
Lock Values As the above checkboxes option says, there are often checkboxes inside of a nodes info. The Lock checkbox allows you to keep all values equal as you enter your own custom values to save you a little bit of time while creating your vector fields. Disabling this option will let you edit values independent of one another.
Show Indicators Some nodes may have an option to show an indicator in the 3D Viewport by checking the Show Indicator Checkbox. An indicator is a representation of a line, point, selection shape or volume within the vector field. These indicators help you see the origin and rotation of various nodes.
