Compound

Hi all

If I have lets say 4 characters in my shot. Each character has 4 ext mattes driving it. This gets quite cluttered.

So I want to make, for each character, a compound node. I call each 1 2 3 4 ...Now when i open that compound node again, it expands...all good...the problem i am having is i have to click all the nodes within it to create the compound node again and it loses its name....is this correct???

Is there a way to save the compound setup for each character so that the desktop stays in order?

Many thanks
Sam

Hello, Sam,
you would want to use a show compound node command, rather than decompose compound node. Choosing to show it will allow you to operate on the individual nodes within the compound node without decomposing it.

Ok great thanks
