Attribute Sets

Give it an attribute name and a scene:path, and will create a Set per unique attribute value containing the geometry.

Contents will only be enabled when in the given context. Both Editscope and Box based. The EditScope based contains Edit TweaksNodes ready to use.

LightsMuteSolo

Mutes/Solo lights, using intensity or prune.

Center To Origin

Centers the given objects to the origin.

UvSizeMultipler

Scales the objects UVs. Useful for the ShaderBall scene, where you want to scale the uvs for visualization instead of modifying the material tiling.

Inspection Camera
