378 Chapter 14 Customizing Shake
You can create multiple nodes with one button click when you call up a function. For
example, if you always attach a Blur node to a QuickShape, you can do this by
embedding one function within another. The first argument for a function is usually the
image input. By substituting the value (usually 0) with a different function, that function
feeds into your first function. In the above example, QuickShape is fed into Blur.
Light Hardware Mode
In the ui directory:
sys.hardwareType = 1;
This command opens Shake without any borders on buttons, making the interactivity a
little faster for graphically slower machines. A value of 0 is the normal mode; a value of
1 is the lightweight mode. Note the artwork isn’t updated for the darker interface, so it
looks a bit odd.
Customizing the Node View
The Node View defaults can be customized in many ways.
Setting Default Node View Zoom Level
In the ui directory:
gui.nodeView.defaultZoom=1;
These are plugs specifically for the Time View. They use the same hex syntax as the
other color plugs.
