Did U know? - "Fast Resource Loader binding"

Post by Karol » 02 May 2016, 10:02

To get e.g. a Texture Loader node bound to a Material node with only few clicks, drag the Texture Loader node in the Hierarchy Tree (!!!)
Et voila! This is a new feature of V5.



Certain Content nodes can be dragged to Hierarchy and a binding to the appropriate Hierarchy node is created automatically:
- Movie Clip/Stream/Frame
- Live Video
- Gradient
- Texture Loader

You can do the same with the LayerEditor. Dragging these Content nodes to LE creates the necessary bindings or Layer type:
- Movie Clip/Stream/Frame
- Live Video
- Gradient
- Texture Loader
- Color
- Switch
- Group
- Scene/Template Port

You can also drag certain resource files directly to HE or CE or LE:
- CE: Images, Movie Clip, Data [TXT,XML,XSL,JSON, Excel]
- HE: Images, Movie Clip, ImportGeometries
- LE: Images[..., PSD], Movie Clip, ImportGeometries
Dropping a File while holding the CTRL-Key will create a Reference to the dropped file, while dropping it without holding it will copy the file to the Project.
Images can also be dragged from a WebBrowser - again as a reference or a copy. Files that can be dropped in the Layer Editor, can also be dropped in the Document Bar - this will create a new Scene with the resulting Layer in it.

Texture Providers can be dropped onto a Material Node to create a new Material Stage with a bound Texture Property to the dropped node. The same applies to dropped files.

Happy binding
Karol

You can even drag an Excel Cell (hold control and drag the border of the cell) directly into the content editor!
