getting macros back as nodes

#1

hi,

i just found that i lost the creation file for a rather old macro (the shake file which holds all the nodes from which i built the macro).

is there a simple way to get that scene back from the macro? shake 2.46 :slight_smile: (yes beaker…)

cheers

Just open the .h macro in a text editor. Grab the guts and paste it into your Shake window(might have to adjust a few of the settings). Your going to loose any custom controls you made in the UI.h file, but it’s not too hard to recreate.

One company I worked at had a nice tool which would take a macro and turn it into a tree and vs versa. Too bad they didnt release it to the wild.

hehe… i guess a lot of such nice tools dont exist in the wild :slight_smile:

seems to depend a lot on how many UI stuff you did, because most of my nodes can not be copy/pasted.

in the meantime i recreated it to be sure i dont bring over older errors :slight_smile:

cheers & thanks
