stereo with 3d cam + zdepth ?

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
hello,

is it possible to kind of fake a stereo render from a 2D rendering when you have the 3D position of the camera + zdepth + Normal pass ?

Thanks

No such file or directory

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
I have a very strange problem.
I’ve started a compositing on some water shapes that I’ve done.
My first step was to unite all the different passes that I’ve rendered from Maya in one single openExr file in Nuke.
Success.
This was made in my laptop.
When I changed to my desktop I opened the file but my Read node had an ERROR message. I reorganized the file directory but for my surprise the ERROR still maintained. I created a new read node and the message continues to appear. I dragged and dropped the image folder and the error still appears. I opened After Effects to see if there was any problem with the images but everything was ok.
Why is that? Never happened with me before.
Hope someone can help me here.
Cheers

I’ve changed the name of an single image and it accepted it.
Do you think that the problem is related to the number of words that the file has?

Comping render passes w/o exr file?

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Newbie question. I see a lot of tuts for multipass compositing CG elements using exr files but what if I just have each pass separately?

I know you use the merge node to connect the passes but I am a little unclear on which operation to use for which pass, and in what order.

Can anyone tell me the best way or provide a screen shot. I’m just using a few passes: defuse, ambient occlusion, specular, shadow, lighting, and reflection.

Thanks!

Help Creating Alpha

Posted in: Beginners Talk
I’ve created a 3D scene inside of Nuke, of a world spinning. How do I generate an alpha channel from this scene so I can merge the world over a different background?

Final year uni project. Please give feedback!!!

Please please please give feedback!

(colours look better on youtube rather than vimeo for some reason!)

I went to Framestore a couple of weeks back for a placement and got good feedback, but I’m worried they didn’t want to break my heart or something!

There are a couple of bugs! ( including ambient occlusion pass missing in the folding plane shot because of hurried work due to deadline!)
