The Flair interface with all its panels
The Flair interface is simple, it consists of the Parameters, Network, Settings and Effect Controls panels*.*
These panels can be toggled on and off from the Menu Bar under View→Settings/Parameters and they can be docked and moved anywhere to fit your desired interface setup.
Let's introduce them according to the frequency at which they are used.
The Network panel is where the rendering pipeline is defined through nodes.
Nodes can be created by right-clicking anywhere in the graph and selecting them from the context menu.
Node connectors are used to connect the nodes with each other
Depending on the node that is currently selected, different parameters will appear in the Parameters panel.
Panning
Zooming
Focusing/Framing
f on the network to frame/focus the graph or selected nodes
The Parameters panel is where node parameters are shown and set.
Each node has parameters, which can be seen in the Parameters panel whenever a node is selected in the Network panel.
Therefore, the parameters visible in this panel will depend on which node is selected.
