Auto Index - when checked the node will automatically output all indices.

Index - the index to be used from the Assets list.

Assets - drag an Assets or Assets (.svg/ .csv/ .png etc) into this attribute. A connection icon will appear. Clicking on the icon will pop up the list of assets. You can drag the items to reorder them.

Example usage:

  1. Drag 2 .png files from Finder/Explorer into the .

  2. Right click on the that was created in import containing the .png files and choose Create Array from Group. This will create an Asset Array with 3 indices connected to each .png file.

  3. Create a .

  4. Open the Fill tab.

  5. Right click on the Shaders attribute and select Add Shader > .

  6. Connect the Asset Array to the Image slot on the Image Shader.

  7. Select the Rectangle in the and alt + click on the icon in the .

This will create a grid of 9 rectangles each with alternating images. If you wanted to randomise this sequence you could add a with a Minimum of 0 and Maximum of 1 and connect it to the Index of the Asset Array.

See the section for some examples of how this node can be put to good use.
