(Serpens 2) Blender - Serpens Addon Snippet: New Linked Collection
Free Snippet and Blend File for creating New Linked Collections using Serpens.
This single Snippet node contains 50+ nodes worth of functionality.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
Download the .zip file and unzip it. Inside there will be two items:
- There is a blend file if you wish to open it to learn how this Snippet was created.
- There is a Snippet called "New Linked Collection.JSON"
Open Blender and in the Serpens Addon Preferences go to the Snippets section and click Install Snippets. Then navigate to the JSON file and install it.
Once installed you can add the Snippet via the Add Menu in a Serpens Visual Scripting Node Graph.
USAGE INTRUCTIONS:
Click the Boolean checkbox to Allow creation of Multiple Collections of the same name, otherwise it will only create the Named Collection one time if it doesn't exist already.
Enter the name of the Collection you want to create in the 1st String Socket. If you leave it blank then it will create a collection with the name "Collection"
If you want the Collection to be a child of another (i.e. you want it linked to another Collection) the 2nd String Socket is to define the collection name you want it linked to.
If you leave it blank then the New Collection will be linked to the Scene Master Collection
