exporting nuke camera to Houdini

Hi,

I am trying to import nuke’s camera track and point cloud information to Houdini. For some reason the write geo node does not seem to work also is there any other way to export camera out of nuke ?

thanks in advance !

Subdivision deletion?

Well anyway im trying to model the alien from space invaders.. So i just made a square with a certain amount of subdivisions. I deleted the ones unnecessary so it made the shape of the alien. but there are like no sides and the innard areas are just holes and see through.. how do i make it all thick again so there are no holes. Heres a pic of a side thats not thick..

As you can see, you can see inside of it, i dont want that.

Viewer settings?

Perhaps a huuuuge noob question

Im following along in a tut on projection, and the tut author hits a hotkey and pulls up the viewer settings menu…(see attached). Hes using 5.1 and Im using 6x. Maybe thats where the problem is…cuz I cannot find this menu. I double clicked the viewer node….nothing in the properties bin, I looked upl in the menus…cant find it…consulted the manual….nothin.

I started learning on Nuke 5.1, and I was very beginner at best, but my company bought 6x and it seems much has changed…

Help?

nuke -t in Windows?

I’d like to start nuke in terminal mode from a DOS shell (nuke -t). This works fine in unix, but on windows I have only been able to get it to work with the full executable name "Nuke6.0.exe -t"

How can I get nuke to launch on a PC with "nuke -t" instead ?

thx

Demo Reel settings/formats for PAL

Hi All, I have selected my work for my demo reel and I now want to build a demo reel.

This is where the problems starts:
– I have no idea what is the best format & resolution to output my work in
– best format to burn

I will be applying for jobs in the UK so I know work needs to be in PAL format.
The resolution for most of my work is 480×360 setup in Maya. Having said that I will have no problem in changing the proportions and I’m leaning towards a wide screen proportion anyway

Heres what I want to achieve:
– Widescreen format demo reel
– Does not squash or stretch if played on and older TV with 4:3 ratio instead the images will retail the proportion and you will see black band top and bottom
– Automatically plays when disc is inserted

Ideally this is the information I’m trying to find out:
– Output widescreen setting from Maya for PAL format
– What software to use for compositing
– Import, save as or export settings in the composting package
– what burning software & settings to use

Software I have access to is:
Maya
Premier
After Effects
Final cut Pro
DVD Studio pro
Toast

If anybody has created a reel in wide scroll PAL format from Maya please can you share your knowledge?

All these settings are starting to fry my brain!!

thanks
