The Info Node - Rich-Text Comments With the First True Wisiwig Text Engine in the Node Editors
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. Bold and italic text. - 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
.blendfile 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 !
Update arrives regularly. Works in Blender 4.4 - 5.2
NOTE ! Blender 5.3 is slated to introduce a comment node natively. It is a similar solution for commenting. This addon was finished before announcement. and it has multiple advantages. You dont have to wait for 5.3. It has compatibility from 4.4 to 5.2 and above. It has online links, more customization, and will be updated with new features. In any case, from 5.3, it is only an alternative.
