Flows

PreviousConnectionsNextStarting a flow

Last updated 8 months ago

Flows control the execution of AFX graphs. The most important node in a flow is the initiating node that starts the flow. You then create a chain from the initiating node to any node that you want it to activate.

If a node has an Enter port, you must create a flow to control when the effect of the node is applied. If you don’t create a flow, the node has no effect.

For example, in the following graph a Translate node is attached to a Transform Reference node. This has the potential to move an object along the x axis. However, because no flow has been created, the translation of <0.1, 0, 0> will never be applied.

For information about how to start a flow, see the following section.
