Getting Started with Figment
Watch the YouTube tutorial to get started with Figment:
Creating new nodes
- Double-click anywhere on the canvas to create a new node.
- Search for the node you want by scrolling through the list or typing the first characters of the name.
- Hit enter or double-click to insert the node.
Parameters
- Each node has specific parameters. Look in the node reference documentation to find out what they do.
Connecting
- Connect the output of a node to the input of another node.
- To disconnect, drag from the input node to the output node.
Undo and redo
- Every change to the network can be undone: adding, deleting, moving, and connecting nodes, and changing parameters.
- Undo with Cmd+Z (macOS) or Ctrl+Z (Windows). Redo with Cmd+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Shift+Z. Both are also in the Edit menu.
Full screen and performance
- View > Enter Full Screen (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F) shows only the output. Press Escape to leave.
- View > Toggle Performance Overlay (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P) shows rolling averages of the frame time and of the render time of the slowest nodes. Use it to find the node that slows the network down.
Exporting
- Once you’re done, you can export as an image sequence. Read the documentation on exporting for more info.
