Hi, How can I fix an image as an icon for macro which i have created ?

Character Texturing

Hi everyone,
I’m currently a student studying visual effects. I would like to be a 2-D compositor in the future but the school teaches us to be a generalist. This was an early project I did where I had to texture everything about the female (skin, eyes, clothes, shoes etc.). Sorry about the horrible lighting (hadn’t taken lighting class before this).:)

some texturing

I’m currently a student studying visual effects, this was a project we had to complete for school. We had to texture the whole room and light it as well. This was all done in Maya.

Particle and Compositing Fx

Hi.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcQdr7Kkp54

my recent particle fx.
196 MB SD footage, 17 Passes.
19.2 GB Particle Cache, >150 compositing nodes
Maxscript setup for the Rig System.

and here a tiny little matchmove test with particle morphing and stuff.

Python question :)

I have another question about python in nuke:
when nuke executing my script the command nuke.frame(x) don’t work properly.

Quote:

for i in range (first+1,last+1):
track(t)
proverka(counter)


track() calls for "track to the next frame" button in Tracker
proverka() cheks results of tracker and in some cases should forces tracker to start track from the begining, but nuke.frame(x) doesn’t work. if i insert "print nuke.frame()" after "nuke.frame(x)" he will print the correct frame number, but will track forward ignoring this command 🙂
i think time.sleep() after nuke.frame(x) could solve this problem but for some reasons nuke calculates summ of time.sleep() and gives result after some seconds 🙂
may be there’s any way to force scipt to wait until viewer refreshes or some other way to make it pause. does anybody know?
sorry for my english, but i can’t find the solution by myself 🙂

Expression Issue

I put this bit of code together and I’m stuck as to how I can integrate the simple expression below into one that uses the string names of the lights. As you see it’s just a basic formula telling the rim light to be the key * 2/3.

——-UPDATE——–

Nevermind. I figured it out!

Code:

global proc js_lightSetup ()
{
        spotLight;
 rename "keyLight";
 string $keyLight;
 string $kl[]= `ls-sl`;

        for ($key in $kl)
          {
                setAttr ($key+".scaleX") 6.0;
                setAttr ($key+".scaleY") 6.0;
                setAttr ($key+".scaleZ") 6.0;
          setAttr ($keyLight+".intensity") 1.0;
         
    move -r -ls -wd -42.0 102.7 86.0;
 rotate -r -os -46.0 -26.0 0;           
 xform -ws -rp 0 0 0 -sp 0 0 0; 
  }
 select -r $kl; 
 int $size= size ($kl);
   
//create fill light             
             
 spotLight;
 rename "fillLight";
 string $fillLight;
        string $fl[] = `ls -sl`;

        for ($fill in $fl)
          {
                setAttr ($fill+".scaleX") 6.0;
                setAttr ($fill+".scaleY") 6.0;
                setAttr ($fill+".scaleZ") 6.0;
 setAttr ($fillLight+".intensity") .5;

  move -r -ls -wd 37.6 80.6 102.0;
 rotate -r -os -31.0 25.0 10.0;               
 xform -ws -rp 0 0 0 -sp 0 0 0; 
  }             

 select -r $fl;
 int $size= size ($fl);
   
//create rim light
           
 spotLight;
 rename "rimLight";
 string $rimLight;
        string $rl[] = `ls -sl`;

        for ($rim in $rl)
          {
                setAttr ($rim+".scaleX") 6.0;
                setAttr ($rim+".scaleY") 6.0;
                setAttr ($rim+".scaleZ") 6.0;

              // expression -s "rimLightShape.intensity=rimLightShape.intensity= keylightShape.intensity * 2/3;";
  // expression -s "$rl.intensity=$rl.intensity= $kl.intensity * 2/3;"

 move -r -ls -wd 0 76.5 -104.0;
 rotate -r -os -142.0 -1.0 0; 
                xform -ws -rp 0 0 0 -sp 0 0 0; 
      }

 select -r $rl;
 int $size= size ($rl);
}
