Mouse Scrolling Issue June 9, 2026, 2:48 a.m.

I have this problem on Ubuntu 26.04/Gnome 50/Wayland as well.

Holding space works for the graph editor (although hardly great), it also affects scrolling in file browser or parameter windows. If I hover over the scroll bar on the parameter window it does seem to work and so does dragging a value around on a parameter with the middle mouse button.

Hoping to avoid going back to Cinnamon, but this is pretty obnoxious.

instancing nodes June 2, 2016, 9:26 a.m.

If you want to instance a network, you need to make an HDA out of the network that you can use in your scene multiple times.

If you want to instance geometry on to points, you can do that with the instance object, the copy sop, or using packed geometry.

Not sure exactly what you mean, sorry.

Mantra GPU Rendering option Aug. 11, 2015, 10:49 p.m.

SideFX just announced that they're supporting a new cloud rendering service that might be worth checking out.

You wouldn't get the immediate speeds of rendering on the GPU, but if you're rendering sequences, it would run in parallel and maybe come back faster than running everything in sequence locally, even with a GPU renderer.
