[Bf-committers] Website Idea, Feedback Appreciated

[Johnny Matthews]

Well the idea comes out of a smaller script that I'm working on (mainly for
myself at the moment) where I can create little "cuttings" of smaller
nodetree setups. Generally depending on the material I'm making there are
2-5 nodes connected up in the same way or similar ways every time. (like a
glossy and a diffuse going into a mix controlled with a fresnel or layer
weight or a UVMap->Image->Diffuse) and I wanted a way to quickly insert
them. I hardcoded a few tree setups like this, but created a function to
interpret a JSON object that can more easily store the structure. Anyhow,
that is where the idea came from, but OML seems to be a much better way to
share full materials.
