In Blender, nodes are used to create and manipulate geometry. To add a node, select the Add Node button in the Node Editor toolbar.

A node will be added at the cursor position. To move a node, select it and press G. To delete a node, select it and press X.

To connect two nodes, select the first node and pressShift-LMB. Then, without releasing the mouse button, move the cursor over the second node and release the button.

A connection will be made between the two nodes. To disconnect two nodes, select the connection and pressShift-LMB.

Q: How do I add a custom node in Blender?

Q: How do I join multiple nodes in Blender?

A: There is no one-button solution to joining multiple nodes in Blender, but there are a few methods you can use to accomplish this task:

  1. Select all of the nodes you wish to join together, and then press Ctrl+J on your keyboard. This will join all of the selected nodes into a single node.

  2. If you want to be able to adjust the individual nodes after they have been joined together, you can use the Join Nodes command in the Node Editor menu. This will join all of the selected nodes together, but will keep them as individual nodes that can be adjusted individually.

  3. If you want to join all of the nodes in a particular group together, you can use the Join Group command in the Node Editor menu. This will join all of the nodes in the selected group into a single node.
