Why we like it

Node Downstreamer Add-On earns its place in the superhive library as a focused helper for selecting connected nodes in Blender's node editor. You point it at an active node and its four operators select what's connected upstream or downstream, either the full chain or a single step. It's a small utility with documentation and a demo video, suited to anyone who works regularly with node trees.

What is Node Downstreamer Add-On?

Node Downstreamer Add-On works inside Blender's node editor, where it selects nodes based on the links between them. Starting from an active node, it can select everything connected either upstream or downstream.

The add-on provides four actions. Select Downstream selects all nodes connected downstream of the active node, while Select Downstream One Step selects only the nodes connected directly downstream. Select Upstream selects all nodes connected upstream, and Select Upstream One Step selects only the nodes connected directly upstream. Each action is activated with a shortcut, and you can set a custom shortcut for every one under Preferences - Add-ons - Node Downstreamer.

Node Downstreamer Add-On comes from developer Blender Bash and is distributed under the GPL license. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.
