#17 Materials Quick Connect

Did you know that in the material editor you can quickly connect pins to the main result node?

Shader and materials are one of my weaker areas but over the years I’ve been getting better and found some little tips to help speed things up and this is one of them.

If you Right-Click On A Pin Of A Material Node you will see a bunch of options to connect directly to the different pins on the result node. This can come in handy when you’re working on bigger more complex materials with lots of connections!

If you want to learn more about how it works then check out my links below:
