How to make node eval knobs after setValue?

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hi,

I have hundreds of trackers to matchmove or stabiliz one sequence. I want to swtich them, set the ‘transform’ and the reference frame by scripting. However when I use the following script it doesn’t evaluate even the number in the knobs appears changed. the image still have no effects, it doesn’t move! But if I manually double click the node to make it active. Then run the script, it works!

Code:

tracker = toNode('Tracker1')
tracker['reference_frame'].setValue(2332, 0, 2332, 'Viewer1')
tracker['transform'].setValue('stabilize')

Anyone have idea why this happens?

Thanks

Problem with primatte !

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
HI
I have a shot with bad green background .I add Rotopaint node to draw mask around my actor
To make it easier for keyer . After that I add premultiply node to multiply RGB with Alph channel
And everything look ok. But after I add primatte node for keying ,primatte ignore my mask .
I know I can use crop knob in primatte node, but it’s so linear and you should crop with just four lines.
How should force primatte to don’t look outside of the mask.

Upgrading a CPU?

Posted in: Hardware & Tech Talk
Hi everyone

hope someone can help me even though I not much of a technical person when understanding hardware and I been thinking of upgrading my CPU for awhile now. Main reason being I’ve been having trouble rendering, whenever I try to render in Maya with mental ray the PC shuts itself off (to me it looks like it can’t handle the information) and it has a blinking light (power light), the only way to restart the PC is to unplug the mains power source.

The PC is a custom built and has the following specs-

Dual Core AMD Opteron ™ Processor 2216 2.41 ghz
4GB RAM
nvidia Quadro FX 1700 512MB
Windows XP Professional Edition X64 Service Pack 2

I’m using Maya 2008

My main piority is for the PC to be able to render out passes and I believe that it maybe the processor that is the issue. So the main item I’m been considering to upgrading is the processor as I dont have much of a budget. So what do people suggest to upgrading the processor? How much would it cost (UK prices)? Any help welcome thanks.
