If you're new to Blender, you might be wondering what the "node editor" is. If you're not new to Blender, you might be wondering why your node editor is empty!

Not to worry, there's a simple explanation for this. The node editor only shows up when you're using a node-based material. So, if you're not using a node-based material, your node editor will be empty.

If you want to use a node-based material, you'll need to go into the " Materials" tab in the Properties window and select "Use Nodes" for the material you want to use nodes with. Once you've done that, the node editor will appear and you can start adding nodes!

Q: How do I show nodes in blender?

A: There are a few ways to display nodes in Blender.

The easiest way is to enable the Nodes display in the Properties editor > Render tab > Dimensions panel. This will show all nodes for the current scene.

Another way is to use the Node Wrangler add-on. This add-on provides a number of tools for working with nodes, including the ability to display all nodes for the current scene. To enable the add-on, go to the User Preferences > Add-ons tab and search for "Node Wrangler".
