FrameFlow brings multiline notes, with bonus features like emojis, and text formatting right inside the Node Editor — no more hopping between editors or data blocks.
3D Software suite like Adobe Substance Designer, Unreal and Rhino3D already has this workflow integrated. FrameFlow is inspired by Adobe Substance Designer comment frame.
While Blender supports frame notes, the workflow is tedious: right-click → Select Layout → Select Frame → Open Text Editor → switch back to Node Editor → select data block. You need any edits, well Back to the Text Editor menu. It’s tedious and annoying at times
I’ve found it super helpful while following tutorials and organizing procedural materials. If you like keeping things tidy and clear, you’ll love this addition to your workflow.
Or you can watch it as YouTube as well Demo On YouTube
