Dynamic Node

Support Shader / Compositor Node editor

All functionality above with node embedded image override ui

Switch between node group through button in the Dynamic Node panel, or NodeWrangler’s Switch type (Shift + S) if NodeWrangler is enabled

From Dynamic Node panel, you can convert all Dynamic nodes in the file to node groups. This is useful when you upload file to render farm or sharing file with others.

Known issues:

In some particular cases, user count of images that are overridden by single image are miscalculated.(image field turns red)

For now, to prevent this, when you override images by 'Single Image', just change the image override type to ‘Original’ or ‘Individual’.

If you face this issue, manually reassign the images or save and reload the project will fix.
