How to use it

  1. Add Surface Match / Planar Blend from node search. Use fusion.surfacematch when you need the exact registry entry.
  2. Place the node as a source/context operation; it has no fixed input socket in the current registry.
  3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Top Left X, Top Left Y, Top Right X first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
  4. Because there is no fixed output socket, validate the graph context or downstream resource that this node is intended to affect.
  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 Surface Match / Planar Blend. Change Top Left X away from its registry default and compare the result. 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.
