Hide shape and transform nodes in Hypershade
Hypershade automatically
displays all shape and transform nodes that are connected to various
types of shading nodes (Shading Engine, Switch nodes, for
example).
Often, you want to view only those shapes and
transforms that influence a shading network and not those that happen
to be in the Shading Group to express set
membership. You can suppress the display of shapes and transforms
in Hypershade to simplify a cluttered Work
Area or to reduce the amount of time it takes for Hypershade to
refresh.
To
control the display of shapes and transforms
- In Hypershade,
select
Options > Display (Work Area Only),
then specify the options.
- Regraph
to see the change.
- No Shapes
-
No shapes are displayed in Hypershade.
- All Shapes except Shading
Group members
-
Only shapes that are directly connected to shading
nodes are shown. Shapes that are only connected to the Shading
Groups are not shown.
- All Shapes
-
All shapes are displayed, including ones that
are connected to the Shading Groups only for the purpose
of expressing set membership.
- Transforms
-
Transforms are shown.
The display of transform nodes in Hypershade is controlled
by the "Transforms" flag in the object’s Attribute editor.
