FrameMask
Masks upstream tasks so that they will only be executed for a subset of the Dispatcher’s frame range.
user
Container for user-defined plugs. Nodes should never make their own plugs here, so users are free to do as they wish.
preTasks
Input connections to upstream nodes which must be executed before this node.
postTasks
Input connections to nodes which must be executed after this node, but which don’t need to be executed before downstream nodes.
task
Output connections to downstream nodes which must not be executed until after this node.
dispatcher
Container for custom plugs which dispatchers use to control their behaviour.
dispatcher.batchSize
Maximum number of frames to batch together when dispatching tasks.
If the node requires sequence execution batchSize
will be ignored.
dispatcher.immediate
Causes this node to be executed immediately upon dispatch, rather than have its execution be scheduled normally by the dispatcher. For instance, when using the LocalDispatcher, the node will be executed immediately in the dispatching process and not in a background process as usual.
When a node is made immediate, all upstream nodes are automatically considered to be immediate too, regardless of their settings.
mask
The subset of frames that will be executed by upstream tasks. Any frames not included here will be ignored, regardless of the dispatcher’s frame range.
Note
This can only remove frames. To add frames, edit the settings on the Dispatcher.
