Hi,
Thanks for showing the shared nodes. But why don’t you use the option of node groups? Is that not faster while giving the same result?
You can use either for similar purposes if you want to. But shared nodes can even be used within node groups, or only on certain shots within a group. It depends on what works for your project.
