Supported HyperShade Nodes

Support status for the Hypershade nodes, and some extra plugin nodes. If the node support status is empty, it means that the node might or might not be supported at a later date.

Footnotes

[1]An alternative to Maya’s projection node will come on the form of a custom appleseed shader.

Footnotes

[2]An alternative appleseed node is provided, asBlendShader for the layering of shaders, and two shaders are provided to blend, and to composite textures. Namely asBlendColor and asCompositeColor. These provide functionality that greatly exceeds this node’s capabilities.

Footnotes

[3]The Mandelbrot2D node is partially supported only.
[4]The Movie node requires OIIO built with FFMPEG. Reliable access to individual frames of a video file, or frame-by-frame scrubbing works as expected with I-frames only videos.
[5]In order to use Substance materials, you need to use the Maya’s Substance node image file output. This will be covered on its own tutorial.
[6]For now, The Substance Output is unsupported. This might change in the future.
