Creating a LiveGroup
You can create a LiveGroup node from scratch or by importing a LiveGroup source or Katana project as a starting place. To create a LiveGroup node, in the Node Graph tab:
• Click New > Other > LiveGroup from the menu,
• Press Tab and select LiveGroup from the node list, or
• Right-click and select Other > LiveGroup from the menu.
The LiveGroup node floats with the cursor. Click inside the Node Graph tab to place it at that location.
As mentioned above, you can also create a LiveGroup node and choose a source to import in one step by using an option in Katana’s File menu. When a LiveGroup source is selected for import, its contents are read and the XML document structure is parsed. The first Group node, or Group-like node, found in the root level of the document is used for defining the parameters and contents of the target LiveGroup node. Other nodes, including other Group nodes, in the root level of the document are ignored.
To import a project as a LiveGroup node:
1. | Select File > Import LiveGroup... |
The Import LiveGroup dialog appears.
2. | Select a LiveGroup source file in the file browser (see Using the File Browser for more information). |
3. | Click Accept. |
A LiveGroup node, named after the imported file, floats with the cursor inside the Node Graph. Click anywhere within the Node Graph to place it at that location.
