“one node graph to rule them all”

nodeMeister allows you to create global node graphs in Layout that can be referenced in other node graphs using via a node.

Often parts of a node graph need to be re-used in another graph. This could be a set of procedurals driving a displacement as well as an instances to a complex nodal motion applied to multiple items.

Without nodeMeister, those parts of the node graph need to be copied and pasted to the other graph manually. Any change to these parts will require a copy and paste again.

With nodeMeister, you can create a a single node graph that can be used multiple times, via a single node, in other node graph. Changes to the central node graph will propagate via the node.

Since the nodeMeister graphs can also create a user interface on the nodeMeister node, you can create a library of node graphs to re-used across scenes or even projects.

To make the documentation a bit easier to understand, the following terminology will be used:

• nodeMeister Graph
  This is a node graph hosted by the nodeMeister plugin. It can be used via the nodeMeister node.
• context
  The context of where a node graph is run, determining which capabilities it has.
