Nuke renders to BackBurner from Mac OSX

hey all

OK understanding that there is no Mac OSX version of BackBurner (BB) first and for most.

Also not wanting to use VNC to a PC or RDC to a PC

Does anyone have any suggestion as to how, from with in Nuke (on Mac OSX) a render could be submitted to BB.

Some thoughts we have had would be some thing like a watch folder or some thing sent to a browser that triggers a *.bat file (security issues??)

Any thoughts or suggested approaches are welcomed

export 3D stuffs from Nuke to Maya?

Hey,

If I have a 3D system built in Nuke including cards, geometries with mapped textures, lights, and cameras, is there a way to export the built whole 3D scene and bring them into Maya?
I searched in the forum, but all related threads I found are discussing the opposite direction which is going from Maya to Nuke through FBX if after Nuke 5.1 or other custom scripts……

Any idea?
