Ok, so here's a few pointers that should let you make it work with either of the examples.
1. Common to all 3 examples. Keep your transform nodes stacked together. Adding the Grade node between transforms is breaking concatenation between them. 2. In the first example, use a "cloned" transform on each one of the branches, instead of doing it after everything is merged. 3. The Card3D example, as Randy suggested, should work similar to the cloned transform example, with the convenience that you don't have to clone anything. You would plug one camera to all the Card3D nodes, and drive your zoom with that camera 4. For the full 3D setup to work, you need to use MergeMat nodes, not regular Merges. Have a look at the example I sent before. Here's your own script with those fixes in place, in case something isn't clear. Hope that helps. set cut_paste_input [stack 0] version 6.3 v1 BackdropNode { inputs 0 name BackdropNode1 tile_color 0x8e8e3800 label "Regular Transform" note_font_size 42 selected true xpos -6788 ypos
