Dynamic Backdrop with Scaling and Finalization

Dynamic Backdrop with Scaling and Finalization

This Nuke script creates a dynamic backdrop node that:

1. Scales and Aligns Nodes Dynamically:

   • Nodes inside the backdrop automatically realign and scale relative to the backdrop's size when resized.
   • Nodes dragged outside the backdrop are unaffected by scaling.
   • Nodes regain scaling behavior when moved back into the backdrop.

2. Randomized Backdrop Colors:

   • Each backdrop gets a unique random color for easy visual distinction.

3. Finalize the Setup:

   • A 'Break Connection' button in the User tab allows users to finalize the current layout by:
     • Removing the dynamic scaling behavior.
     • Freezing nodes in their current positions.
     • Clearing all internal connections and stored data.

Features:

• Dynamic Scaling: Automatically adjusts node positions inside the backdrop when resized.
• Node Inclusion/Exclusion: Nodes dragged outside the backdrop are ignored during scaling.
• Finalization: Simplifies node setups by breaking dynamic connections when no further changes are needed.

Shortcut Key:

• Use Ctrl+Shift+B to create a dynamic backdrop around selected nodes.
