Select Input
Updated: 4 Dec 2023
Switch which input to use in another node.
Select Input
Method #
This nodes allows you to switch the kind of input that goes into a node based on the number of nodes connected to it. Currently, only 3D Meshes, Images and Materials can be connected to this node, and switched between.
This node will filter what can be connected to it based on what the output is connected to. If a node cannot be connected, it’s either because the Select Input Node is connected to a input requiring a different data type, or because the node being connected is of an unsupported type.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Input Node Index
Select the node you wish to pass through based on its position in the Nodegraph.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
