Thats some great updates !

I think the connection animation is a cool idea too and makes the graph feel alive, a nice visual feedback.

I would suggest using the animation only after connecting to nodes, to give a sense of satisfaction to the user.

Because the overall visual impression might get to noisy with all the animations. Optionally you could also disable the animation for a certain zoom distance.

Rayterex

Thanks for the feedback. That is actually really good idea. I will try to add as many options about animation as I can to the preferences dialog.

I've added some nodes for procedural 2D primitives. Here is the demo with these applied as modifiers in 3D.

Not at all. This looks awesome. Will try and find time to test this. Keep it up mate and more power to you.

Hey that's pretty cool ! I was looking for a node-based alternative to Processing in order to programatically generate precise images/patterns and this seems like a good fit, while being more straightforward than TouchDesigner. 

• Is there a page somewhere showing examples for each and every node ? Like a long scrollable page showing everything. This would be much faster to parse than having to look at videos.
• It would be great to have a node search box straight within the program.
• I couldn't find a way to set a canvas size different than the size of the input image, so that the final output is at desired dimensions. How is that done ?

Performance-wise is seems like the interface is a tad slow, that's a bit of a bummer as it gives the impression of a slow tool even though it is probably faster at processing the nodes than the UI suggests.

Thanks! No, I haven't written any examples page, but I probably should. I will start doing it asap. That is a really good idea. Node search box is somewhere on my TODO list so that will definitely exist in next couple of versions. Image size can be defined only in nodes that create something (texture node, uv nodes...) but not in modifier nodes because they just modify input image (exceptions are crop and resize modifiers). Problem with performance is that everything is calculated on the CPU. I will start adding GPU option to the nodes so textures creation should be much faster.

Hi Guys. So here is new version of ImaGen (v1.0). I've added math nodes, loops and exposed node attribute sockets

i feel like the nodes having inputs on both sides feels a bit confusing. Imo inputs should be left to right. input > output.

I don't know how to fix it though. If I put sockets to the left of the attributes on the right then connections are not visible and if I leave them on the right than it is a bit confusing. Damn, have to figure out something
