nPass graphs are a powerful way to run repeatable logic in InstaMAT Studio, but sometimes you don’t want every pass to run if you’ve already reached your goal. In this video, you’ll get a clear, high-level look at how nPass graphs “step through” iterations and the simple pattern you can use to stop a graph early. It’s a practical overview that helps you build graphs that run only as long as they need to.
This walkthrough starts by explaining the basic moving parts of an nPass graph and how the graph progresses from one pass to the next. From there, it demonstrates how to add a straightforward “exit” condition so the graph can end automatically once a target has been reached.
Along the way, you’ll see how to keep the behavior predictable (so the graph continues normally until the stop condition is met), and how to structure the logic so it’s easy to reuse in other projects. If you’re building iterative workflows and want tighter control over when the graph should continue versus when it should end, this video gives you the conceptual model and the setup to do it cleanly.
