Duplicate a node

 
 
 

For more information about render nodes, see Render nodes.

To duplicate a node and its network

  1. Select the node you want to duplicate.
  2. In Hypershade, select Edit > Duplicate > Shading Network. Maya creates the duplicated shading network in Hypershade with the original node. Each node you duplicate is placed in the appropriate directory.
    Tip
    • If you want to duplicate a node without its network, select the node and select Edit > Duplicate > Without Network.
    • If you want to duplicate a node and connect it to the same network (in effect sharing the network), select Edit > Duplicate > With Connections to Network.
