[Bf-committers] Texture assignment workflow is confusing

[Jaevixa McNomera]

Knapp,

Can't we already group batches of nodes together to effectively make this
"meta-node" structure??? The possibility of some pre-build node groups to do
some frequently used "effects" or whatever we might want may be easier to
implement than a new meta node.
