Feature Request Reroute node for ShaderGraph

Hi, I might ask that is possible to add a reroute node like blender does to SG?

That would be extremely useful to organize messy graphs and avoid connecting a node's output to multiple and further node's.

 

I know it's not exactly the same but you could use a 'preview' node to help a bit with this

 

Yes I was using them since I wrote this post, they are not the same but works anyways

 

The documentation says the preview node generates code... Hopefully it gets optimized out though? I want to use it for the same purpose.

Code (CSharp):

1. void Unity_Preview_float4(float4 In, out float4 Out)
2. {
3.     Out = In;
4. }

 

Well, you have new rerouting ports now in shader graph:

 

How was this node created? I did not find this node in the 2022.3.13f1 version. I only knew that it was called Reroute node. When I copied it again, I got its information.
