Maya Tool - Transfer Markers

Open david-cattermole opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Similar to a "Re-Parent" tool, but exclusively for markers.

This tool is for transferring markers from one camera FOV into another, where the FOV may differ.

The world space position of the markers may matter, and so we should allow a "world-space" option to convert the positions "as we see them" in the Maya scene, directly into another camera. This is more of a traditional "Re-Parent" tool concept.

Options

  • Source Markers
  • Destination Camera
  • World Space (checkbox)
  • (frame range is automatically chosen for marker)

This tool should have a Qt UI written, with the above options given for user input.

The tool would likely operate on the currently selected markers.

In theory, the workflow described above can be achieved by exporting 2D Markers with the Save Marker tool, then using the Load Markers tool.

I will keep this issue open, so that one day the Transfer Markers tool may be written.
