The Mill’s Tom Bussell talks Nike ‘Write the Future’ spot

Nike2

In ‘Write the Future’, a World Cup themed 3-minute long Nike spot,
director Alejandro González Iñárritu called on The Mill to produce 236
VFX shots featuring a CG stadium, Massive crowds and other effects, as
a bunch of famous football and sporting stars do their thing. Here’s my interview over at fxguide with The Mill’s 3D lead Tom Bussell.

Frame range from read node in python

Hi guys,

does anyone know how to retrieve the first and last frame from a read node created through Python?:

r=nuke.createNode(‘Read’)[‘file’].setValue(‘/the/file/folder/filename.%04d.dpx’)

when i do so the frame range is 1 to 1 and i dont want to set it via r[‘first’].setValue() and r[‘last’].setValue because for our project we dont know how many frames will be present in the sequence so i need to retrieve it from the read node. Cheers

Kim
