W_scaleTree

W_scaleTree

A panel to quickly resize a selection of nodes in a controllable way.

• Offers the option to set a pivot point.
• Allows the user to preform a uniform scale as well as scaling in separate axes.
• Takes a node’s screensize into account to ensure a correct alignment.
• Resizes backdrop nodes correctly to keep them fitting their content.
• Use a shortcut to open and close a floating panel or use the tool as a docked widget.
• Hotkeys 1, 2, 3 and 4 are setup to quickly set the pivot to a corner.

Distribute your nodes evenly

Works with backdrops.

Use a shortcut to open and close a floating panel or use the tool as a docked widget.

Create a folder called 'icons' in your .nuke folder, and place the 'W_scaleTree' folder (the folder containing the icons) in there. If you would rather place the icons elsewhere, make sure to update this in the python code as well (line 25)

 Add the following to your menu.py
