What is a Node Group in Blender?

A Node Group in Blender is a collection of nodes combined into a single, reusable node. This feature allows artists to package complex shader, texture, or compositing setups into a simpler, more manageable unit. Node Groups are particularly useful for organizing and sharing node configurations, ensuring a streamlined workflow across multiple projects.

Use Cases in Blender

• Reusable Shaders: Combine complex shader setups into a single node that can be reused across different projects.

• Collaborative Projects: Share node groups among team members for consistent and efficient workflows.

• Simplified Networks: Organize large node networks into more manageable sections by grouping related nodes.
