Plugin settings are used globally by all nodes. At the time of writing, it is not possible to do per-platform override, althought this will be a welcome addition in the future.
Performance
Performance-related settings.
Cluster
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Small Cluster Size | How many points should be considered a “small cluster”. Small clusters are batched together during processing, as opposed to have a dedicated thread. |
| Cluster Default Batch Chunk Size | How many cluster points should be processed in a single parallel loop chunk. |
| Cache Cluster | If enabled, PCGEx will cache built cluster data. This offers tremendous performance gains at the expense of a bit of extra memory. |
| Default Build and Cache Clusters | Default value for Build and Cache Clusters when creating a new cluster node.Can be overriden on a per-node basis. |
| Default Cache Expanded Clusters | Default value for Cache Expanded Clusters when creating a new cluster node.Can be overriden on a per-node basis. |
Smaller values will lead to more thread hoarding, larger values will use less space at the expense of speed.
Points
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Small Points Size | How many points should be considered a “small number of points”. Small datasets are batched together during processing, as opposed to have a dedicated thread. |
| Points Default Batch Chunk Size | How many points should be processed in a single parallel loop chunk. |
| Cache Cluster | If enabled, PCGEx will cache built cluster data. This offers tremendous performance gains at the expense of a bit of extra memory. |
| Default Build and Cache Clusters | Default value for Build and Cache Clusters when creating a new PCGEx node.Can be overriden on a per-node basis. |
| Default Cache Expanded Clusters | Default value for Cache Expanded Clusters when creating a new PCGEx node.Can be overriden on a per-node basis. |
Smaller values will lead to more thread hoarding, larger values will use less space at the expense of speed.
Async
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Default Work Priority | Default falut for thread Work Priority when creating new PCGEx node.Can be overriden on a per-node basis. |
Work priority should not be changed trivially – but rather leverage that setting in complex graphs where you have a lot of PCGEx nodes blocking work at the same level; putting a high priority on the worst offenders will give you a teeny tiny bit of control over which part of the graph are processed first, resulting in micro performance improvement and overall smaller wall times.
Blending
Attribute Types Defaults
Default blending values for attributes based on attribute type. These are mostly used with node that allow to batch-blend All attributes; which can anyway be finely controlled. Using Default will use the node’ default blending mode.
| Property | Description |

Integer 32 | |
Integer 64 | |
| Vector Types | |

Rotator | |
| “Text” Types | |

| Soft Path Types | |

Node Colors
Customize PCGEx nodes colors by categories. These may require a relaunch for the colors to be visibly applied, sometimes just closing/re-opening the graph editor works.

Note that there’s a MASSIVE DISCREPANCY between the color you pick and how the node renders it, so starting to tweak those is one hell of a rabbit hole. To do live color tests, you can drop a
Flush Debug node anywhere in a graph, it has an exposed
Custom Colorproperty to let you set its own custom color – comes in very handy!
