does unity use nodes? I’ve seen them work in the cry engine and it looks very cool.
Ah well just wondering 
What nodes? Pathfinding nodes?
Yes it does use nodes… Somewhere.
Seriously though: yeah, what do you call “a node”?
I think you mean Flow Graph, right? It’s similar to UE3’s Kismet in some ways.
Unfortunately there is no such editor available in Unity. I guess if a lot of us wish for it, eventually it will happen 
dang
Just wondering, what has happened with the nodebased shadercreation tool prototype/PoC thingy in Unity ?
I once read a student’s (I forgot who, he did an internship at UT I think) thesis about this, including some screenshots. It looked awesome !
You know one of 20:80 rules in making software? You spend 20% of the time in implementing features, and 80% of the time in testing them and actually making them work. And then usually another 100% of the time in making them work for real. With shader graph creation tool, the 20% part was done, and the rest are not finished yet…
For ref.: Nodes in CryEngine are indeed used for manually building a pathfinding tree.
OK. you have 2 types of nodes here. Which one do you mean:
-
A simple 3D object that is used by game AI to find paths and move around in the environment.
-
A Nodegraph Editor. Chunks of “code” are arranged on a 2D surface and connected through “data wires”:
Ooo. Looks very much like Kismet. Is this from CryEngine 2? Didn’t see this interface when I worked with the first CryEngine.
Looks like Quartz Composer
It’s Quartz Composer.
Not to echo anyone here, but just as a confirmation:
Yes. That is Quartz Composer.
