Node-Based Systems

Node-based systems are visual frameworks where processes are connected as modular blocks.

Definition

Node-based systems represent operations as connected units called nodes. Each node performs a function and passes its output to another node.

This structure allows flexible workflows, non-destructive editing, and clear visualization of complex processes.

Node systems are widely used in compositing, color grading, procedural design, and visual effects.

Node-based workflows scale better than layer-based systems for complex projects.
