What is Nodepastr - Copy And Paste Node Groups Between Files?

NodePastr is a Blender add-on built by May3D for moving node groups from one Blender file to another. Copying uses Ctrl+Shift+C on a selected node group, and pasting uses Ctrl+Shift+V in the file where you want it to land.

The add-on covers both shader node groups and geometry node groups. It is listed as a Blender extension of the add-on type and is compatible with Blender 4.4 and 4.3. NodePastr is distributed under the GPL license, and its developer contributes to the Blender Development Fund. Documentation is provided, and a demo video is available.

Within the superhive library, NodePastr keeps a narrow scope: copying and pasting node groups between files through a pair of keyboard shortcuts. It earns its place for doing that one job directly.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does NodePastr support?

NodePastr is compatible with Blender 4.4 and 4.3, and it is listed as a Blender extension of the add-on type. Copying works through Ctrl+Shift+C on a selected node group, and pasting uses Ctrl+Shift+V in the destination file. If you run one of these supported versions, the shortcuts should be available once the add-on is enabled. For details tied to other Blender releases, check the developer's page.

What node types can NodePastr copy and paste?

NodePastr handles shader node groups and geometry node groups. You select a node group, press Ctrl+Shift+C to copy it, then open the file you want it in and press Ctrl+Shift+V to paste. That covers both of the node group types the add-on currently supports, so the same copy-and-paste workflow applies to each. If you work with node types beyond these, the developer's page is the place to confirm current coverage.

How do I copy and paste node groups with NodePastr?

NodePastr uses two keyboard shortcuts. Press Ctrl+Shift+C to copy a selected node group in one Blender file, then switch to the file where you want it and press Ctrl+Shift+V to paste. The add-on supports shader node groups and geometry node groups, so the same two-shortcut sequence applies to both. Documentation is provided with the add-on if you want the full details, and a demo video is available as well.

Is NodePastr free to use?

NodePastr is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Its developer, May3D, is also a Blender Development Fund contributor. Licensing terms can change over time, so the developer's page is the best place to confirm current details before you download. Documentation ships with the add-on, so you can review the usage information once it is installed and enabled in Blender.
