The Teleport Node (Receiver Edition) - Instant node sharing directly from and into the node editor.
Sharing complex Blender node setups is often a tedious process involving downloading massive .blend files, navigating the append menu, or squinting at low-res screenshots to rebuild trees line-by-line.
The Teleport Node provides a frictionless, cloud-based solution. Think of it as a digital "shipping box" for your node editor. If a creator or friend shares a Teleport shortcode with you, this free addon allows you to instantly download and materialize their node setup directly into your workspace.
With this Receiver Version, you open the side panel of your Node Editor, paste the sharecode in, and click "Materialize!". Thats it, your node group has arrived!
Quick example here. Full demo video here.
The goal is to make receiving Blender node groups as fast and easy as reading a text message. (Note: This is the free Receiver Edition. To package, organize, and send your own node setups to the cloud, you will need the full version of the TeleportNode addon here or here !)
Features
Instant Node Materialization: Receiving is effortless. Paste a shared shortcode into your side panel, click "Materialize (Add to current canvas)", and the downloaded nodes will instantly snap directly to your mouse cursor without disrupting your current setup!
Materialize Entire Trees: Did a creator share their entire workspace? Use the dedicated "Materialize (Wipe & Replace)" button. It will completely overwrite a fresh canvas, gracefully rebuild their exact custom N-Panel interface sliders, and paste their complete setup with absolute, pixel-perfect layout preservation. It even flawlessly preserves complex Repeat Zones and Simulation Zones!
Node package optimization:Keep your transfers lightning-fast. The addon automatically strips out unnecessary linked data, video, and audio files to ensure your "shipping box" stays as lightweight as possible.
Blender version tracking: Never guess if a node setup will work. The addon automatically tracks the specific version of Blender used during the transfer, helping the receiver avoid compatibility issues or new nodes when importing.
Smart Source Detection: The addon automatically detects the type of the node group or tree sent, be it Geometry Nodes, Shader editor or Compositor !
Creator tag customization: Add your own, custom-formatted unique identifier automatically.
Dual Cloud Engine: Choose the Default engine for lightning-fast, anonymous, registration-free sharing (codes expire after ~30 days, perfect for quick forum or Discord help). Or, securely link your free GitHub account for Permanent share codes (RECOMMENDED) stored directly in your own Gists. Shared codes using this engine will be permanent!
TeleportLog: Tracking Teleports with thumbnail and sharecodes. Customizable auto-cleaning settings . Favorites are saved separately.
Zero-Friction Compatibility: Because the full version uses 100% native Blender elements to build its "shipping boxes", anything you download with this free Receiver Edition will work perfectly—with no broken wires or missing dependencies.
Dual Cloud Engines: You can receive shortcodes from both of the Pro version's engines: lightning-fast anonymous links, or permanent codes hosted securely on GitHub Gists.
Seamless Upgrade Path: If you ever upgrade to the full Teleport Node Addon to start sending your own codes, this Receiver Edition features a smart-detector that will gracefully step out of the way to prevent UI conflicts! Enjoy !
Packaged Assets Mode (Meshes & Textures): In default mode the sharing strips the nodes from dependencies. However, node trees often rely on external scene assets to produce their final result—especially in Geometry Nodes where setups instance specific geometry via Object Info or Collection Info, or materials that rely on unique image textures. Without those source assets, a shared node tree breaks upon materialization. With Packaged Assets Mode (available in GitHub Cloud mode), TeleportNode can now automatically bundle your referenced scene models, collections, materials, and packed image textures directly into your teleport payload (up to 35 MB)! Zero Broken Dependencies: Instanced objects and textures travel with your nodes—no manual file sending or linking required. Still Single Share Code: Even large multi-megabyte asset payloads are split and streamed behind the scenes via a single Gist, preserving the effortless shortcode experience. Outliner Hygiene: All unpacked models are automatically organized into a dedicated, visible [Teleport Assets] collection in the recipient's scene.Viewport & Outliner Visibility Preservation: If your instanced source meshes were hidden in your viewport (H or disabled in viewport/render) to avoid cluttering the origin, their exact visibility states are preserved upon materialization! The instanced result in Geometry Nodes evaluates seamlessly, while keeping the recipient's viewport clean.
🎯 Who is Teleportnode for? (Use Cases)
The Solo Artist (Your Universal Cloud Clipboard) Stop messing with the Append menu or cluttering your Asset Browser with "dummy" materials just to move loose nodes around. Treat Teleportnode as a cloud clipboard: copy a raw, ungrouped node tree from yesterday's .blend file and materialize it perfectly into today's project in seconds.
The Educator & Content Creator No more forcing your viewers to recreate massive trees from a blurry YouTube video or zip files. Drop a 6-digit shortcode in your video description, Patreon post, or course materials so your students can instantly snap your exact lesson setup to their cursor.
The Forum Troubleshooter Stop squinting at messy Discord or Reddit screenshots. When someone asks for help, instantly send the fixed node tree back to them. You can even use the Native Comments feature to write formatted text explaining exactly what you changed, right there in the node editor!
The Procedural Modeler & Technical Artist Share and preserve entire, raw workspaces with your team or community. Bypass Blender's native limitation that forces you to group nodes or attach them to objects just to save them. Keep your exact layout, flow, and framing perfectly intact across the internet.

🚀 Teleport Node Addon - Release Notes
v1.160 - The Packaged Assets & Smart Canvas Update
Packaged Assets Mode (Meshes & Textures): You can now bundle external scene objects and packed image textures directly with your node setups! When sharing Geometry Nodes setups that instance meshes via Object Info or Collection Info, opt into Packaged Mode (GitHub Cloud engine) to bundle all referenced geometry (up to 35 MB) into a single, seamless 5-character share code.
Outliner Hygiene & Visibility Preservation: Imported models and collections are neatly placed into a dedicated [Teleport Assets] collection. Furthermore, original object visibility states (eyeball, viewport monitor, and render camera) are 100% preserved—ensuring instanced source objects remain hidden if intended, keeping your viewport completely uncluttered.
Dual-Choice Action Modal for Full Trees: Say goodbye to accidental canvas clutter! When an entire workspace code is entered, the receiver now displays an active, interactive decision modal. Recipients are given an explicit choice between Wipe & Replace (Clean Workspace) and Merge into Current Canvas, complete with live node count detection and packaged asset disclosures.
Multi-Chunk Gist Streaming: Payloads exceeding 10 MB are automatically sliced into robust, parallel-streamed chunks and validated with SHA-256 integrity checks—all under a single Gist ID with zero code fragmentation.
v1.152- Teleport Log
Saving and viewing all your teleport history with schematics and the sharecode, along with the custom title.
v1.151 - Canvas Safety Guard
Duplicate Interface Warning: Added an intelligent pre-check to "Materialize (Add to current canvas)". If an incoming code contains a full node tree with Group Input/Output nodes, a safety dialog will alert you before dropping, preventing accidental duplicate interface clutter and guiding you to "Wipe & Replace" when appropriate!
v1.15 - The Universal Editor Update
Flawless Shader & Compositor Support: Completely overhauled the background packaging engine to fully support embedded Material Shader trees and Compositor trees.
Master NodeGroup Packaging: By upgrading to a highly advanced native grouping sequence, you can now teleport massive, deeply nested "Master NodeGroups" seamlessly across the internet without running into Blender's API restrictions.
Zero Data Loss: Repeat Zones, Simulation Zones, and custom UI sliders remain 100% perfectly preserved across every single node editor.
v1.14 - Smart Payloads & Safety Nets
Universal Deep-Stripping: The background engine now rigorously hunts down and strips heavy media dependencies (MP4s, 4K Textures, Sounds) from all teleport types (both 'Entire Tree' and standard Wrappers). This guarantees your generated share codes stay ultra-lightweight (< 1MB), even if heavy assets are hiding deep inside a nested sub-group!
Version Mismatch Detection: Teleport packages now invisibly record the sender's Blender version. If a receiver tries to materialize your code using an older, incompatible version of Blender, they will safely receive a polite warning popup alerting them of potential missing nodes.
Receiver Edition Auto-Detect: The free Receiver Edition UI has been streamlined. It now intelligently analyzes the length of your pasted code to automatically route it to the correct cloud engine (Default vs. GitHub)—no manual toggles needed!
v1.12 - UX Polish & Color Preservation
Custom Color Fix: Resolved a bug where clicking the "Tidy / Align Contents" button would accidentally overwrite your custom TeleportNode frame colors. Your custom frame aesthetics are now perfectly preserved!
Clearer Materialization UI: Redesigned the Receiver panel UI. Download buttons are now stacked, full-width, and explicitly clear about their behavior (Materialize (Add to current canvas) vs Materialize (Wipe & Replace entire tree)).
Passive Marketing Integration: The Copy with Instructions button now explicitly invites the receiver to download the free Receiver Edition to materialize your code, making sharing frictionless for everyone.
Launch of the Receiver Edition: Officially spun off the free "Receiver Edition" (Lite Version), allowing anyone to effortlessly download and unpack your codes without needing to purchase the full Pro version.
