Locometry allows you to snap Locators (axis) to the vertices of a Geometry for a given frame range.
Requirements:
6.1 or later
Linux, Mac, Windows
09 Dec 2010
529

Can be useful if you need to make folllow elements such smoke or dust for just the desired frame range or to attach other pieces of geometry which can be offsetted in space while following the position and the rotation of the geometry vertex.

a short example: http://vimeo.com/17652030


soon an example with live elements...

 

 

Beta Version:

- not extremely tested
- the code is not so well ordered and resides all in the gizmo Pyscript button (will change it in the next days).
- currently working to make it work with rotation values of fbx and obj sequences

Very useful, thanks a lot Kim,
It seems that sometimes there are some dropdowns (two or three keyframes at same values) but lowering the fps value at 1 made the trick for me !
Cheers

Really awesome gizmo!
Sadly, doesn't work with ABC geo. Would really love it, if this did!

Alembic worked with it for me.

This is the error I am getting on any ABC I try.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 20, in
RuntimeError: knob rotate does not exist

nuke 9 v3
when executing it errors out "expected integer, got float"
tested on a cube. :(

Quoting Andreas Jablonka:
nuke 9 v3
when executing it errors out "expected integer, got float"
tested on a cube. :(


Try to edit the gizmo and replace this part:
nuke.execute('L ocometry Curve',firstF,lastF,1)
with this:
nuke.execute('L ocometry Curve',int(firstF),int(lastF),1)
Nuke stores frame numbers in float.
Otherwise for me it's skipping the proper 3d values on some frames. Like if it doesn't have enough time to evaluate properly. Anyone experienced this?

Dear Gabor...

I tried to change the code you have proposed and worked well in v9.06 version !
Thank you so much!

Hi Gabor,

yes that's a well known problem. The curve tool hack is buggy. I published a python version which still uses in part the CT hack but on already gathered infos which looks a bit more consistent.
next version will be with no curve tool at all. Cheers,

Kim

Hi Andreas,

try the new python version as the gizmo doesn't deal with alembic or anything else that doesn't have a rotation knob. thanks,

Kim

Looks great. Is there a download for 2.1 available on Nukepedia?
 
 
0 # Kim Ranzani 2016-01-21 08:06
Yes... has been changed to a python script.
