ComfyUI Node: Blender Input Group

Blender Input Group:

The BlenderInputGroup node is designed to organize and group multiple input parameters into a single, cohesive unit within the Blender add-on interface. This node serves as a container, allowing you to manage and display related inputs together, enhancing the clarity and usability of complex workflows. By grouping inputs, you can maintain a cleaner and more organized interface, making it easier to navigate and adjust parameters as needed. This node is particularly beneficial when dealing with numerous inputs, as it reduces clutter and provides a structured approach to input management. The BlenderInputGroup does not perform any processing on its own; instead, it acts as a visual and organizational tool to streamline the user experience in Blender.

Blender Input Group Input Parameters:

order

The order parameter determines the sequence in which the input group appears within the Blender interface. It is an integer value that allows you to specify the position of the group relative to other elements. The default value is 0, and it can range from the minimum integer value (MIN_INT) to the maximum integer value (MAX_INT). Adjusting this parameter helps in organizing the layout of inputs, ensuring that they appear in a logical and user-friendly order.

show_title

The show_title parameter is a boolean that controls whether the title of the input group is displayed as a label in the Blender add-on. When set to True, the node's title will be visible, providing a clear identifier for the group. The default value is False. This parameter is useful for enhancing the readability and context of grouped inputs, especially in complex workflows where distinguishing between different groups is essential.

compact

The compact parameter is a boolean that determines the layout style of the inputs within the group. When set to True, the inputs are displayed in a compact layout, which minimizes the space they occupy in the interface. The default value is False. This parameter is ideal for conserving screen space and maintaining a tidy interface, particularly when dealing with a large number of inputs.

Blender Input Group Output Parameters:

group

The group output is a custom output type that represents the collection of inputs contained within the BlenderInputGroup. It serves as a reference to the grouped inputs, allowing them to be managed and accessed collectively. This output does not produce any data or perform any operations; instead, it acts as a structural element within the workflow, facilitating the organization and manipulation of input parameters.

Blender Input Group Usage Tips:

• Use the order parameter to strategically position your input groups within the Blender interface, ensuring a logical flow and easy access to related parameters.
• Enable the show_title option to provide clear labels for your input groups, which can help users quickly identify and understand the purpose of each group in complex workflows.
• Utilize the compact layout option to save space and maintain a clean interface, especially when working with numerous inputs that need to be displayed simultaneously.

Blender Input Group Common Errors and Solutions:

No specific error messages

• Explanation: The BlenderInputGroup node is primarily a visual and organizational tool, and it does not perform any processing or data manipulation. As such, it is unlikely to produce specific error messages related to its functionality.
• Solution: If you encounter issues with the display or organization of inputs, ensure that the parameters such as order, show_title, and compact are set correctly. Additionally, verify that the inputs are properly configured and connected within the workflow.
