Hi,
I’ve done several animation node tutorials and wanted to combine a couple in one animation.
I’ve tried appending, but that doesn’t work, the code doesn’t function. It also seems impossible to cut and paste AN.
How do you reuse the code from one blend to another?
Can you help with this, I’ve been searching without results.
thanks,
Hi, so to re use a premade nodetree from another blend, you have to do the same thing you would do with any blender nodetree (shading…) :
append or link it from other blend ! that is the simpler way to do it for now !
cheers !

Hi,
Thanks for the advice. 
I’ve got it happening now, it’s a little finicky,
Two node trees slow things down quite a bit!

Yep, double check the triggers of your nodetrees, try to avoid “always” when you can to keep the compute process light, and set custom triggers if needed !
Hi guys, i’m currently working on an addon to download and import animation nodes templates from the github library ! still a few things to fix, but it seems usable to me !
If anyone interested i would be glad to have some feedback of this early version 
https://github.com/samytichadou/an_template_addon/archive/master.zip
Panel is located in the animation nodes sidebar !
cheers !
Uh, the link to the abstract wave node tree is broken…
Hi, links are broken due to changes in the organisation of the repo, i’ll edit them soon, for now you can check them on this Page or use the Animation Nodes Template Addon which give you direct link to them from blender and let you import them on the fly !
Here is the release page and the BA Thread
Added a few new nodetree :
- Offset Mesh Polygons Along Normals (submitted by faaaaarck)
- Procedural Animated Camera (submitted by faaaaarck)
- Convert Frames to Timecode
- Invert Negative Numbers
A big thank to faaaaarck for his great submissions !
here’s a few pics of the nodetrees :
SRT Generator
Directly format some text from Sequencer Timeline into srt format, just save the resulting text block to a .srt file and play it in any classic media player !
Get the AN Templates addon to have access to these templates directly in Blender
There are some cut options to split long texts into several lines, you can do it arbitrary or at spaces.
Another option to take into account muted text strips.
Hey guys, just uploaded a new nodetree for the library,
Abstract Splines Procedural is a motion design ready to use effect which creates random curves around a guide curve and allow user to animate them. It can be convenient for smear effect for example !

This is very exciting. Thank you so much for putting the node examples together. It is greatly appreciated.
I look forward to contributing as I learn more about animation nodes.
