How to use Path Generate node in Oraphim

Type ID: fusion.path_generate
Category: Generator

What this node does

The Path Generate node is registered in Oraphim's Generator category and performs the graph operation represented by its sockets and controls below.

The current Oraphim runtime registers 3 sockets and 9 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Input, Path / Mask; its main outputs are Output. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket	Key	Type
Input	in_color	Image
Path / Mask	in_path_mask	Image

Outputs

Socket	Key	Type
Output	out_color	Image

Controls

Control	Key	Type	Group	Registry default
Effect Type	effectType	String	Internal	0.0
Blending Mode	blendMode	String	Composite	0.0
Opacity	opacity	Float	Composite	100.0
Path Points	pathPoints	String	Path	0.0
Brush Size	brushSize	Float	Stroke	8.0
Start	start	Float	Stroke	0.0
End	end	Float	Stroke	100.0
Random Seed	randomSeed	Float	Random	1.0
Preserve Alpha	preserveAlpha	Bool	Alpha	1.0

How to use it

1. Add Path Generate from node search. Use fusion.path_generate when you need the exact registry entry.
2. Connect a compatible Image source to Input. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Blending Mode, Opacity, Path Points first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
4. Route Output (Image) into a compatible downstream node, viewer, or output path.
5. Preview a representative frame, change one input/control at a time, and save/reopen reusable graphs to verify persistence.

Practical example

Create a small test graph with Path Generate. Feed a compatible source into Input. Change Blending Mode away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Output to a compatible downstream stage so the result is visible. Keeping this test graph small makes socket-type, context, and parameter mistakes easier to diagnose before the node is used in a production graph.

Troubleshooting

• If a connection is rejected, compare the exact socket data types in the tables above; Oraphim graph connections are typed.
• If the result looks unchanged, confirm this node is on the active path to the viewer/output and that the expected graph/resource is selected.
• If a control is unavailable, check required inputs and whether the property belongs to an internal or mode-dependent group.
• If a saved graph behaves differently later, reopen it and verify node identity, connections, and edited property values before rendering.
