Basic Operations

Adding nodes

Right-click an empty spot on the canvas to open the node palette.

• Type into the search box to filter (Japanese and English both work)
• Or browse the categories (Input / Filter / Compose / Path / Solid / Model / Output / Transform / Animation, and more)
• Press ☆ to favorite a node so it ranks higher next time
• New nodes are placed where you right-clicked

Connecting nodes

• Drag from an output port (right side of a node) to an input port (left side) to create an edge

• Ports are typed, distinguished by color and shape (Image / Float / Color / Path / Model / Solid...). Incompatible types will not connect
• The type-color legend (Ctrl+Alt+T, in the left toolbar) lists every type and its color

• Connections trigger automatic re-evaluation; downstream previews refresh on their own

Editing parameters

• Select a node to edit its parameters in the inspector
• Numbers use sliders or direct input, angles use knobs, colors use a color picker
• Some parameters are also shown directly on the node (collapsible)
• Hover the ? next to a parameter name for an explanatory tooltip

Previews

• Every node shows a thumbnail preview
• The selected node can be inspected at actual size or zoomed in the inspector (pixel art renders pixel-perfect, without smoothing)
• If rendering feels slow, disable node previews individually or in bulk

Copy, duplicate, undo

• Nodes support copy / paste / duplicate and Undo / Redo
• Right-click with two or more nodes selected for a bulk-action menu
• Shortcuts and how to remap them: 13 Settings & Shortcuts

Tabs

• Open multiple projects side by side in tabs (Ctrl+N for a new tab)
• Closing a tab with unsaved changes asks for confirmation
