Blender Tutorial: Node Wrangler Explained (2020)

Node Wrangler is a brilliant little node-based add-on that comes preinstalled in Blender. In this video, I'll show you how to get the most out of node wrangler by learning all of its little tools and shortcuts.

I've been looking for the reroute for over two months, thanks sir!

This video is bookmark worthy. Highly valuable 👍

[kraemerfilm]

Great tips! Thank you for making the tutorial! 
While watching it I discovered a further "hidden" feature in Blender: When you change 3 parameters at once (like you showed in the mapping node) you can also drag down the 3 parameters and immediately start dragging the mouse (don't let go the mouse button) to slide all three values up or down at the same time!

Wow. You are the Master of shortcuts. Thank you so much

[BramvanVliet]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the Node Wrangler add on. I use it all the time in my Blender projects but didn't know some of the shortcuts. Now I learned how to align a row or list of nodes. A huge time saver, since I like to keep things organized. Liked and subbed. Greetings from the Netherlands 😊

I like the button that's some modifier on T that lets you pull in the diffuse, specular, metalic, bump, etc etc etc all at once and wire them all up.

shift+W, is the main one missed, is the list of all of the node wrangle

[artemplatesales]

this is a great video, can really faster the workflow then texturing

[EmilioNorrmann]

thank you sir you saved me a lot of reading time !

[JonathanTheTrombonist]

Thanks dude, I didn’t know how to turn it on :)

Alt+ shift and right click connect two nodes u may choose connection points.

[boyytheclassic]

0:34 thank u i would have never found that out

[Abhinav-Bhat]

I was searching for this and I got it !!!

[Alex-byzv]

it's a like from me, and a little message on your fb page hehe. This add-on is awesome.

[euanclouston]

I think you missed the best one of all. Select the Principled BSDF then ctrl+shift+T select all the texture images then press texture set up and it sorts everything out for you.

[aunsakram]

great video :) just wanted to ask i do work with mix shader alot is there any shortcut for that in 2.8x as it works in 2.79 but not in 2.8x.

[fo]

Is there a way to get those option without all those shortkeys (except for shift+A)?

[joeabstractjoe]

How can I change the node connector from a wet looking noodle to straight. 2.93 came with strange noodles. not sure of the actual name for these connections. Thanks brother.

[mrlol]
