When I go to the Node Editor to look at my object's material I can't find any nodes Whenever I open up Blender the material of the cube is already added and when I go to node editor I can't find any nodes. How can I make it so that my objects don't automatically get a material when I open Blender and I can see the nodes?
The cube you find when you start Blender has a default material called "Material". Check the "use nodes" checkbox to see them.
