Subject: Re: [IML] QUEST: crosshairs
I'm doing a flythrough of a room, and will animate a character in 2d,
registered to the 3d background. I'll need to print out my wireframes &
register them in order to work out the 2d part. What is the easiest way to
have a set of register marks (crosshairs) appear in the corners of my
wireframe animation so I can register the prints? I'm thinking some sort of
transparent plane with the crosshairs as a brush, but I wonder how to keep
them locked in position.
Any ideas?

You are on the right track. Just position the plane as you'd like in front of
the camera, close to the camera so it does not intersect any other objects in
the scene when it's moving. Then you'll need to go to the Action editor and
Associate the Plane to the Camera. You may want to have the Plane Track to the
camera also.

That's what I expected I'd have to do.
Thanks.

Can't you composite the crosshairs onto your renderings using AfterEffects or a
Photoshop Actions batch or whatever?
If you really must render the whole works in Imagine, I suggest associating
your transparent plane to the camera, so that it always retains the same
relative position.
