Hi,

So I'm wondering what the best way to save Attribute VOP presets is. If you go to Save Preset then it doesn't save what's inside the node. I've just tried to save the node as an OTL and buggered up my project. Now all my nodes have red text and I can't edit or get inside them.

I'm guessing that saving as a digital asset is the best way but not sure of the best way to do this.
So where's best to save to and how to I call up when I need to use?

Thanks

You can also find your presets in Tools -> Show Tool Palette

Then you can also drag and drop your nodes in there.

The gallery can also have subcategories and you can search in it by typing. Its very useful to store your presets. We use it every day and it saves a lot of typing and looking up expressions, transform presets etc.

The presets will also show up in the gear menu from the Parameter Pane.

You can also drag and drop the vop node (or a set of nodes) onto a custom shelf tab.
In this way it will become available as a new node that you can drop just like native ones or hdas. (tab -> type name)
