Apex Fuse Graph : Store Values without nodes Dec. 2, 2025, 7:56 a.m.
Hello,
When using Value Nodes set to <nodename>__REST I can get data from existing nodes and can use them to update for example restlocal.
that is very cool.
but what if I need to do some calculations like matrix multiplications inversions or blends and I want to update the restlocal with this?
the <nodename>__REST is not fused into the graph as apex node but all other nodes are. is there a way to fuse only the result in the graph. not all the nodes necessary to calculate it?
Simple example would be a reparenting graph, that would need the current restlocal and multiplying it by the inverted parent matrix
this works but right now the additional nodes are stored in the updated graph
how can I avoid this
thanks Martin

Thanks, configure controls works.
But I wonder how that advanced controls are build, that are used in the electra rig for exammple
