Outputs

Produced Outputs

The ADE_InputPIA_PaperPresets node outputs configuration settings for the PIA model. These settings are used by subsequent nodes or models to adjust the PIA component behavior or apply specific PIA transformations to animations.

• PIA Configuration: Outputs a structured configuration that can be passed into other nodes in the workflow to guide the behavior of the PIA model.
