Overview

A 3D null/locator — a parent transform other things can follow.

How to

How-to

  1. Drop it in a 3D branch and set its transform; wire other 3D nodes after it so they inherit the move.
  2. Animate its TRS to move a whole rig at once — a camera and its cards follow one axis.
  3. It draws nothing.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultWhat it does
txFloat0.0Translate X — position along the world X axis, metres.
tyFloat0.0Translate Y — position along the world Y axis (up), metres.
tzFloat0.0Translate Z — position along the world Z axis, metres. The camera looks down −Z.
rxFloat0.0Rotate around X, degrees.
ryFloat0.0Rotate around Y (turntable), degrees.
rzFloat0.0Rotate around Z (roll), degrees.
sxFloat1.0Scale along X. 1 = unchanged.
syFloat1.0Scale along Y.
szFloat1.0Scale along Z.
disabledBoolfalseBypass: the node passes its first input through untouched (D in the graph). The knobs keep their values for when it comes back.
labelTextA note shown under the node in the graph — what this node is FOR. Never affects the render or the cache.
hide_inputBoolfalseDraw the node without its input wire — a tidy graph for a node whose source is obvious (a Dot, a viewer tap).
