Maya Bifrost Graph

The Bifrost graph is a node editor for creating all sorts of effects. As maya is a node based software the graph is represented as one node in the standard node editor just as the outputted bif shapes that can be created with Bifrost graph. Despite the Bifrost graph containing many Bifrost nodes it is one node in the node editor. It can be seen as a hierarchy of node editors with the node editor being the top one and the Bifrost graph and the Hypershade below. Bifrost can be used as a seperate system within maya where you can plug things in and get things out.
