Axis Node Size

[keithg]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the size of the axis node in the Dag view? If I get a whole bunch of locators from tracking, the axis node is garishly huge compared to the other nodes, and with lots of them on screen, I feel like my dag has a case of the measles.

also, is there a way to change the size of axis's in the 3d view as well, I noticed that with the 3d view, you can only change the colour of all the overlays, not individual colours.

anyways,
if someone could help with this,
that'll be fantastic for me and my sore eyes seeing huge red spots.

Any time I've imported tracking locators into Nuke, it's through the import_boujou script, which brings in geo (small spheres) to represent the locators. You can specify how many, if I remember correctly, because Nuke can choke if you've got hundreds. Not the most elegant solution, though (this is one area where I think Fusion is ahead).

Never thought of using axis nodes for this purpose... one per locator, you say? I can see how that would clutter your DAG. Curious, why are you doing it that way? Do you need locators to have animated transforms independent of the camera move? Hmm

...hmmm...also don't have a solution handy... but I guess chief nimmo is rotoing thourgh a camera...

Yo... yeah, rotoing through a camera, but also, with axis's you can see them in the 3d view without having them loaded,
and unlike geo you can use them when positioning planes. handy.
It relies on getting points in places that are needed from tracking instead of having a gazillion on screen.

anyways......

Would really like it if you could re-size some those darn circles and re-colour them, why do 3 types of different nodes look exactly the same.
