This is a tracker gizmo that uses vector information rather than image data to track points.



This us useful for certain tracking jobs that are otherwise hard to accomplish. Think of shots that constantly shift focus, or tracks on objects that deform.

Simply render out classic nuke vectors, and use this tool to generate tracker points. you can try using a VectorGenerator node to generate live vectors instead, but due to the way nuke and python sample image data this could be a bit buggy, you can also keep the vector generation live in a fresh minimal script, this is what i usually do.

the points are exported to a regular Tracker node.
