Nuke ‘Modeler’ issue

Can anyone tell me why I get an xyz axis show up every time I connect a ‘Modeler’ node to my match moving scene?

I’ve attached a pic to illustrate the scenario.

I just can’t draw any vertices/faces on.

Thanks in advance.
Chaz

Rotoshape on camera projected card

Quick question, usually if I toss a roto node right before a card and set it to alpha/premult, I can see and manipulate my spline in 3D view.

However, if I am running a project3D node to my card, and I put my roto between my project3D and my card it wipes out the project3D and just puts the footage flat on the card. I can put the roto before the project3D and just roto out the flat footage element, but then I can’t manipulate or see the spline in 3D view.

Any suggestions?

Tricky Extraction on Snake Tongue – .R3D provided

Would love to peoples technique on extracting just the snake’s tongue from this plate. I provided the r3d (Personal use only please!)
You will notice some challenges as the tongue flickers in and out of the greenscreen. The shot is locked off, so maybe some difference techniques could be employed. I’m not hopeful, but optimistic!

Good luck
