How to use Object node in Oraphim

Type ID: geometry.input_object
Category: Input

What this node does

Provides object data to downstream geometry operations.

The current Oraphim runtime registers 2 sockets and 1 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Object; its main outputs are Geometry. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket Key Type
Object object String

Outputs

Socket Key Type
Geometry out_geometry Geometry3D

Controls

Control Key Type Group Registry default
Object object String Inputs 0.0

How to use it

  1. Add Object from node search. Use geometry.input_object when you need the exact registry entry.
  2. Connect a compatible String source to Object. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
  3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Object first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
  4. Route Geometry (Geometry3D) 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 Object. Feed a compatible source into Object. Change Object away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Geometry 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.
