ComfyUI Node: Blender Input String

Blender Input String:

The BlenderInputString node is designed to facilitate the input of string data within the Blender add-on environment. This node is particularly useful for users who need to input and manipulate text data as part of their workflow in Blender. It provides a straightforward interface for entering string values, which can then be used in various operations or passed to other nodes within the Blender add-on. The node's primary goal is to streamline the process of handling string inputs, making it easier for users to integrate text data into their creative projects without needing extensive technical knowledge.

Blender Input String Input Parameters:

group

This optional parameter allows you to specify a group for the input string, which can be useful for organizing and managing multiple inputs within a complex workflow. By grouping inputs, you can maintain a cleaner and more structured node setup.

order

The order parameter determines the sequence in which this input is processed relative to other inputs. It accepts integer values, with a default of 0, and can range from the minimum to the maximum integer values supported by the system. This parameter is crucial for ensuring that inputs are handled in the desired order, which can affect the overall execution of the workflow.

default

The default parameter specifies the initial value of the string input. It is an empty string by default, allowing you to set a predefined value that will be used if no other input is provided. This can be particularly useful for setting a baseline or fallback value in your workflow.

format_path

This boolean parameter, when set to true, formats the input string as a normalized file path. This is particularly useful when dealing with file paths, as it ensures consistency and correctness in path formatting. By default, this parameter is set to false, meaning the input string is treated as a regular text unless specified otherwise.

Blender Input String Output Parameters:

value

The value output parameter represents the processed string input. If the format_path parameter is enabled, this output will be a normalized file path; otherwise, it will be the input string as provided. This output is essential for passing the string data to subsequent nodes or operations within the Blender add-on, allowing for further manipulation or use in the workflow.

Blender Input String Usage Tips:

• Use the format_path parameter when working with file paths to ensure that your paths are correctly formatted and compatible with different operating systems.
• Set the default parameter to a commonly used string or a placeholder to streamline your workflow and reduce the need for repetitive input.

Blender Input String Common Errors and Solutions:

Input <property_name> is empty.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the string input is expected but not provided, resulting in an empty value.
• Solution: Ensure that you provide a valid string input or set a meaningful default value to avoid this error. If the input is optional, consider handling empty values appropriately in your workflow.
