Simplifying Node Network
Nodegraph clarity is an important topic for every node-based pipelines. By nature, node networks become complex and hard to read. To address the issue, simplifying tools are essential.
Stages
First Stage
In the first stage, we create Portal Pins for commonly used connections, such as the SingleLink 1
output of the AJAIn
node, the Track
output pin of the Xync
node, and the Lens Distortion
output pin of the Break Track
nodes.
Second Stage
In the second stage, we group various nodes using the Create Comment From Selection option and assign them meaningful names like Camera Tracking, Talent Tracking, Cyclorama, RealityKeyer, and Compositing and Rendering.
Third Stage
In the third stage, we rename various nodes that share the same name, such as Break Track
, Distort
, and Undistort
nodes, using the Rename option. This helps prevent confusion and incorrect connections when working on relatively complex nodegraph operations.
