Pythoned Group nodes attribute disapears

I’m starting programming in python for nuke. I’ve done a script that checks an exr contents and creates a grouped comp tree based on it. For each layer in the exr file I create a colorCorrect node and publish some of its attributes in a group. Everything goes Ok until the user saves and reopens the file. When we do this, all of the published attributes dissapear.

Code:

if doGroup:
        grp = nuke.nodes.Group()
        nuke.Group.begin(grp)
        grp.setInput(0,readNode)
        readNode = nuke.nodes.Input()

...Create nodes based in an exr contents here and append all created color correct nodes into colorCorrectList variable ...       
               
if doGroup:
    for index, cc in enumerate(colorCorrectList):
                       
        tabKnob = nuke.Tab_Knob(shuffleList[index].name())
        grp.addKnob(tabKnob)
        grp.addKnob(cc['saturation'])
        grp.addKnob(cc['contrast'])
        grp.addKnob(cc['gamma'])
        grp.addKnob(cc['gain'])
        grp.addKnob(cc['offset'])

How to install Nuke on Ubuntu !!!

Hi,

I just installed Linux on my PC yesterday and tried to make Nuke worked on Linux…
I’m so confused about what they said on the Nuke user menu. I am wondering if someone could clearly show me step by step about Nuke installation on Ubuntu 10.04.

My question is:

If Nuke on Linux must be installed under the "root" directory, not the "user" (for example, I give it a name: zhimama) ? I tried to install Nuke under "zhiamam" directory, after finishing the installation I couldn’t install license. The user guide says that Nuke will be installed under the /usr/local/ directory. I guess it means Nuke should be installed under "root" diractory not "zhimama" directory.
Please correct if my understanding is correct. If it is, could you tell me how to access to "root" directory step by step and install Nuke ? I am really new to Linux OS…

Basically, My mehtod was that I downloaded and uncompressed Nuke files and put it on the desktop my of computer.

The name of that extracted file folder is called: Nuke6.1v1-linux-x86-release-64
I followed Nuke user guide to type commands in terminal but it showed me error…
I guess if I install Nuke successfully, it would be installed under the "root" directory. However, I used a simply way which was just double click the installation icon and installed it but it showed me my Nuke would be installed under "zhimama" directory, not the "root".

I am wondering if someone can show me how to do it in a proper way so Nuke can be installed at:
mkdir /usr/local/Nuke6.1v1

Thanks,

Palace in mountains with snowstorm

This is an intro to my clips I made. Mostly just for fun with the sound effects as priority one.

The second sequense I took five pictures put toghether and created a 3d looking environment with a snow storm. This is my first test to create a 3d environment of different kinds of pictures so don’t have too much pressure on me

It took a while to make this because there have to a lot of adjustment, keying and color correction to make it look good.

The music was also very carefully done, I used a couple of layers when i made this to get a bass feeling + the ordinary melody. Everything made in Magix Music Maker 14 Premium.
