The Info Node - Finally! (Multiline Rich-Text Comments And Guides In The Node Editor)

codesignprojects in Materials and Shading


The Info Node provides a streamlined, native solution for commenting and organizing your node trees. Designed for clarity, it acts as a unified multiline text container to explain complex logic to collaborators, clients, or your future self.

The goal is to provide a fast, structured, and entirely native documentation tool for Blender node editors.


Features

  • Structured Multiline Text: Write clear explanations with a dedicated title and automatic word-wrapping. Type --- on an empty line to instantly generate an elegant horizontal divider.
  • Smart Node Wrapping: Select an existing cluster of nodes before adding an Info Node. The add-on automatically wraps them, mathematically calculating the bounding box to place your text neatly above the logic.
  • Tidy Container Layout: A single-click layout tool in the side panel that instantly auto-aligns messy wrapped nodes into a perfectly spaced horizontal row.
  • Reference Links: Embed URLs directly into the node. A clickable button appears in the side panel for instant access to external documentation or resources. You can redirect the user to your sites directly from the node tree !
  • Global Color Coding: Organize your logic visually. Use standard color presets or save up to 5 custom colors globally across all your Blender projects.
  • 100% Native Compatibility: Built entirely using native Blender elements. Anyone who opens your .blend file can read your documentation perfectly, even without the add-on installed. You only need the addon to be installed to add your own notes and comments !
