Until The Light Takes Us.

Black metal, black metal, black metal. Our fascination with church-burning, satan-worshipping, Norwegian nutballs is bottomless and with the genre’s growing popularity there is no shortage of documentaries or photo spreads to keep our brutal tastes satiated. Until The Light Takes Us is a little better than your average black metal doc though, spending significant time dissecting the core of how black metal became what it is today and how it has spiraled into something completely beyond anything it’s creators could have imagined.

Using the ColorChip in a nuke.Panel

Posted in: Nuke Plugins & Scripts
Sorry for crossposting this, i already posted this in the Nuke forum, but nobody answered.
Here it goes:

as a python excercise, i wanted to set the tile color for all nodes to a user specified color.
Should be simple 🙂 But the following code always just sets to a grey value, and secondly, the default value for the colorchip doesnt seem to do anything?

Code:

nodes = nuke.allNodes()
p = nuke.Panel("Colorize")
p.addRGBColorChip("Color","4194303")
p.show()
tcolor = p.value("Color")
for i in nodes:
    i.knob('tile_color').setValue(tcolor)

tcolor seems to be an integer value, and thats what the knob tile_color expects, but for the life of me i cant figure it out.

Error writing TIFF

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Does anyone know why this might be happening – for some unknown reason to me, Nuke just won’t write a TIF / TIFF file and is chucking out the error:
write error at scanline 2303

Usual things have been checked like I do have permissions to write to that directory, other formats work fine (JPG, EXR) it’s not a Proxy output etc. etc…. tried all different compression types…
Also tried with Nuke 5.1v5 64 bit and 32 bit but both give the error.

Why the problem?

It’s a real pain in the arse to chuck out an EXR and convert it to TIF in Photoshop….

Thanks in advance if anyone can shed any light

Can’t smooth a track?

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Came across a little snag here while doing some paint work. I did a track on this plate so I could matchmove in the fixes, but the rotation of the track is a little jittery. I wanted to smooth out those points in the track node, but it wont let me! I can’t figure it out. i’ve selected the specific area of the track in the graph editor, hit smooth from the right-click menu, but nothing is applied… Am I missing something here?

making a button in Nuke

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hey

I’ve seen it done in Nuke where instead of having a list of nodes or scripts under a menu on the toolbar you have a button which just has one purpose – to evaluate a script.

I’m familiar with making custom menus for Nuke but I would quite like to have a button for a script I’m writing.

Does anyone know how to write this in python? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Camera export from 3D Studio Max into Nuke

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
I´m a Maya user but because of a recent project i´m using Max.
I´m having some problems in exporting the camera from Max to Nuke. I use the same process like in Maya: Export all through .fbx and in Nuke i make a camera read from a file, the same .fbx but nothing happens.
Is there any specification that i´m missing?
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks
Cheers
