Hi, I am trying to make a network which is involving many different paths as options for different variations on the same generative piece. I am wanting to toggle the bypass switch on some nodes (i.e. Displace) to turn them on/off, to save on the size and complexity of the node network, instead of the option that I know to use currently which is just adding many switches and referencing them.
Is there a better/tidier/minimalist way to do this or something similar?
Is there a best resource for understanding and learning the optimal way to create custom components?
Thank you so much
There is currently no bypass switch on custom components. The best way to implement one is to make a bypass custom parameter. If you need to access this more easily from the network view level, you can make a button controlling the parameter and expose it in the node viewer.
Bypass on TOPs can be achieved using the Passes parameter on the Common page - Passes = 0 means bypass. Not obvious and we could use it on CHOPs and DATs, and yes Components, though that is tricky as you can output any combination of node types from them.
