Purpose

 

Use this node to import all the files from a folder (with optional include/exclude filtering) and it will pass them to other nodes. Support recursive sub-directories.  Supports regular files, movie files, and enumerated sequences (if matching the name convention). The Folder node will trigger a workflow execution for each UP found and then it will finish (If you want continuous monitoring of a watched folder then use the Watcher node instead).

 

Outputs

 

Files: All the files contained under the folder assigned to this node are sent trough the "Files" output.

Node specific properties

 

Renderfarm -> Split Content: This is only for render farm integrations. If active, each file will prepare an independent workflow file (.mwf file) for each Universal Path coming from the Folder, then sending all the .mwf to the Render Farm (rather than sending a single .mwf processing all files ). This needs to be used in combination with the Renderfarm icon of the Queue panel, to submit an independent render job for each workflow execution.
