2nd attempt: Move entire material in material graph

[mafrieger]

Since working with several materials in the mat-graph is pretty annoying but there was no update on this
https://forum.keyshot.com/index.php?topic=22889.0
and it comes up now again from other people
https://forum.keyshot.com/index.php?topic=27097.0

I just want to give it a push up in the wishlist :-)

Is there any news/hope on this? E.g. for KS 10.1 ?

[newoldschool]

+1 yes please! 

[Eric Summers]

Yep, big old +1 from me!

Its not in KS10 as far as I can see in the latest beta, but totally. better node management and functionality would be awesome.

I just posted this in another thread, but I think this could be a good way to manage moving entire sub-materials while keeping the material graph clean and easy to navigate:

Right click a sub-material > Collapse Sub-Material
Right click collapsed sub-material > Expand Sub-Material

That way instead of seeing 8 complex webs of nodes and wires, you could just see one node per sub-material until you choose to expand it. The collapsed sub-material node could look like a small stack of nodes to visually distinguish it from simple nodes.
