extracting Grain

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hallo friends
I am trying extract grain and apply it back on the same image (after defocus)
problem and scenario:
i am on Flame now and do not have scanned grain node

1 i have clean bg without grain,
2 i subtracting it from original bg and have black frame,
3 i am rising offset in CC to 50% (0.5 in nuke) and i have gray plate ‘with some grain’
4 now i trying to regrain my footage
5 question is which mode should i use when i am merging
so far overlay looks not so bad but still this is not good

i able extract only heavy compression of footage but not grain
bwt 🙂 it is d7 :shhh: footage – that is a reason or i did something wrong?
thank you

So my script just crashed after it finished rendering and now when I open the file I get this:

ERROR: root.f: Nothing is named "set"
root.f: Nothing is named "set"

and I hit OK, and there’s nothing in the file.:mad:

This is in NukeX 6.1 on Win7 64.

Anyone seen this one yet?

3D TV, fad or future?

Posted in: The Pad
I do not own a 3d tv, i have yet to see a feature film in 3d. i once saw michael jackson’s captain EO when i was a tike, but even at that time i never viewed it as the future of film making. to me it has always been a gimmick that had its heyday in 1955.

television manufactures seem to be on board as a few of them are making 3D capable sets for the home, but i am just not interested. lets ignore for a moment that there still is no 3D content on television, but do people even want to watch shows in the 3rd dimension? i admit i am a bit of a tech geek and when a new cool toy comes out i am always one of the first to jump on it, however i am not running to best buy to purchase a 3D display. so if i am not, then who is?

a few of my friends in this field now work in stereoscopic and my company wants to persue that path. but is it the future or is it just a fad?
