ShuffleLayers is tool that can be useful for multipass materials that include lots of layers, saving time when extracting the layers and creating the suffle nodes. It allows the user to create shuffle nodes from these layers in a fast and eficient way. It can either create shuffle nodes for all layers included in the Read node or it allows the user to select which layers want to be used to create the shuffle nodes.
This tool is flexible and adapts to both the material imported, reading the layers no matter the file extension (EXR, DPX...) and to the Nuke version where it is used: if it is used in versions older than 12.1 the shuffle node created will be the old one, but if the used version is 12.1 or newer it will use the new shuffle node.
