Node Preview

by Simon Wendsche in Addons


This addon displays rendered thumbnails above shader nodes.

Also available on Gumroad.

Features

  • For each node, a preview thumbnail is rendered
  • On edits, all affected nodes are automatically updated
  • Previews are rendered in a background process to keep the Blender interface fluid and responsive
  • No changes are made to the .blend, others without the addon can still open your scenes without problems
  • High-resolution displays supported (works with Blender's resolution scale feature)


Caveats

  • To show previews for packed images, the .blend file has to be saved to disk first, because they are loaded through linking from the .blend file
  • Thumbnails of image sequences are not updated when changing frames
  • IES nodes are currently not supported
