Custom Nodes

Custom Nodes are nodes created with a Node Graph saved in a Project.

During initialization, PixaFlux looks for custom nodes in a the installation directory, in this path:

(Installation Directory)/Resources/Nodes/

In this directory PixaFlux looks for 4 files:

• info.txt This file holds the information that PIxaFlux needs to add this node to a node graph.
• project.pxf The PixaFlux Node Graph project.
• Icon24.png The icon used in the nodes menu.
• Icon12.png The icon used in the node graph viewport.

info.txt

Type: 0xf529ceb1 0x5e804a0f Project : Warp.pxf Name : Warp Group : Filter

Type: The unique id that identifies this node type. All nodes types in PixaFlux have a unique id that allows PixaFlux to create the correct node when loading a project.

The unique id can be build from 2 random 32-bit hexadecimal integers.

The Online GUID Generator can be used to generate a GUID and copy the values to two strings, each starting with 0x and followed by 8 hexadecimal digits from the generated GUID.

Project: The project that defines this node's node graph.

Name: The name of the node. This name will be used in the nodes menu and in the node graph.

Group: The nodes menu group where this node will be listed.
