Hi Terell,

I once built a gizmo that lets you do that. you can download it at Nukepedia:

http://www.nukepedia.com/gizmos/3d/distance3d_v02_fp

What it does, is actually calculating the distance between two objects.
Just plugin in your camera and the axis you want to use as the focal point and link the output expression of the gizmo to your Zdefocus.center.

Hope thats what you searching for.

Zitat von Terell Seitz <[email protected]>:

Hello All,

I am trying to setup a script that would let you drive the ZDefocus knob
"focal length (C)" with an axis node. The issue that I am running into is
that this value only updates when the users moves the "focal point" widget.
But the "focal point" can not be driven with a curve. To get around this I
am using a camera and axis plugged into a Reconcile3D node. Then that XY is
plugged into a CurveTool with its area set to 1 pixel by 1 pixel which I
then generate the average intensities of that tracked pixel to get me a
curve which I can plug into "focal length (C)". Is there anyway to cut the
CurveTool out of this, so that I don't have to generate keys every time I
move the axis? Maybe using callbacks? Thank you.
