Filter

Sockets:

IN - Data

OUT - Filter

Description:

Filter is a core selection tool of OutlinerNodes. It defines a set of objects, lights and/or collections by pattern, resolved against the live scene (or the graph's virtual scene during evaluation) every time it's used.

Properties:

• Pattern - See Filter Pattern Syntax.
  • Add Selected to Filter - appends to the pattern the names of objects currently selected in 3D Viewport or Outliner.
• Details - expands a live preview of current pattern matches.

<aside> ⚠️

Warning: Expanded Details on multiple nodes may cause significant graph slowdown. Highly recommended to keep it collapsed until needed.

</aside>

• Syntax Reference - expands the in-node syntax quick-reference.

Usage Notes:

A pattern that matches nothing is flagged in the Details preview rather than failing silently - always check this after editing a pattern by hand.
