I distort or displacement

I need to apply a reflection on a car window. Shall I use I distort, displacement or a morph node and whatever the node, could you walk me through the script. I have tried different things but nothing has worked so far.

Thank you,

comp diffuse indirect passes

Hi everybody!

I’m pretty new to compositing in Nuke, and currently trying to comp a rendering.

So heres my problem:

I rendered out some different passes like diffuse indirect specular reflection and so on.

When i try to comp my diffuse pass with my indirect pass by plugging them into a merge node (plus operation), i do get the desired result except for the eyes of my characters! Which is completely correct, because the indirect Pass itself does have the white eyes.

But when i look at my masterBeauty rendering from Maya which is the file the different passes are extracted, you can see that the eyes are as i would expect them to be.

So how do i comp the diffuse and indirect pass to get the eyes of my characters right like they are as in the masterBeauty?

Thanks in advance,

greetings

Need ideas for video project

I have a video assignment to do and I’m stuck on ideas on what I could film. Basically I have to make a video that includes these 3 elements:

– include myself
– explosion effect
– used green screen

I will be using Adobe After Effects to do the explosion effect. So what are some cool ideas on what I could film using all 3 of these elements? keep in mind I can only film at my school so I can’t take the camera off campus

Play, Rewind Viewer Hotkeys

I can’t find the command to select the first frame in my range:

Code:

menubar.addMenu("&Viewer").addCommand("Play", "nuke.activeViewer().play(1)", "Up")
menubar.addMenu("&Viewer").addCommand("Rewind", "???????", "Down")


And is it possible to assign a command to a key, without adding it to a menu?
