Portal Pin

PreviousGraphsNextSink Pin

Last updated 1 year ago

A Portal Pin is a feature that simplifies complex graph operations by allowing you to create a new node directly from an existing node's input or output pin. Portal Pin allows you to create more organized structure.

This feature is particularly useful in scenarios where certain nodes, such as a Tracking, need to be reused multiple times within a composition, leading to what is commonly known as Node spaghetti, can arise in a node-based application with numerous interconnected nodes.

Portal Pin Creation Process

  • Right-clicking on an existing node's input or output pin and select Copy Pin.

  • Open the Node Creation menu by right clicking on the nodegraph canvas.

  • Click on the Add Pin button as illustrated above.

Selecting this option generates a new node that functions either as an input or output pin, depending on the origin of the Portal Pin creation.

Portal Pin Types

  • Input Portal Pin: If created from an input pin, the Portal Pin generates a new node that functions as an input, streamlining the connection process for that specific input type.

  • Output Portal Pin: If created from an output pin, the Portal Pin generates a new node that functions as an output, allowing you to easily reproduce the output of a particular node throughout the composition.
