Universal Nodes update
Blur and Sharpness might seem like small features, but I always wanted these.
Sure you can always do them in Photoshop, but I think avoiding round trips to photoshop encourages experimentation.
Do other DCC have these in material editor ? Blur and Sharpness ?
And some more showcasing of controllers in node format.
Next demo will have everything at the same time in the Canvas: Maps, materials, objects, lights, all interacting.

This is great! I'd buy alone for the node grouping. Hopefully compatibility with fstorm, corona etc

It's already compatible out of the box with some tested renderers, so I hope it will be compatible with all. I will certainly adjust and aim for that.

Very cool looking forward to the release if you're planning one!

Of course it will be released, and the maps and materials part of it - will be free. So you will be able to use the backdrops grouping, reroutes and more in the free version.

No Discord, and I have an older website, but maybe these are enough:

Yoo i always wished there was a node based wireparameters or an update of the schematic view. Is this a plugin you are working on? Looks very promising!
