My very first Rotoscoping reel
Posted in: Demo Reels!Hello everyone!
I have been visiting this forum since a few months now. I spent some time on this forum, collecting pieces of advices and tips on how to get a start in the visual effects industry. I’m nineteen, I’m a student in a film school in France, studying maily on-set techniques, optics and film theory. But I also try to work on my own, in addition to my formation, to learn as much as I can in the visual effects area. I figured out really quickly by reading all the beginners topics that, rotoscoping was the most common way to get a start. That’s why I decided to try to build my own reel, in order to have something to show when I’ll be looking for an internship next summer. I worked on it all this summer, selecting my best works and I ended with this one minute long reel, only filled with roto work. I didn’t want to put anything else in it but roto and, I decided that maybe I would make another reel later for my other kinds of works like 3D compositing and color grading. Don’t know if it’s a good idea, but otherwise it seemed a bit messy.
So I’d really like to have your opinion about my work.
This is a work in progress reel, so I’m open to all your critics and advices and I’ll keep improving it.

python panel UI
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryHi, i’m learning how to create custom panel using python. At my first simple trial, i just used an empty group node, then assign couple of user knob there and attach some script to do some task. The goal is to replace the nuke menu : ‘render/render selected’ command which only have one simple text input. The look of this node is in my attachment (pls have a look). All function is working good. The problem is when floating , i got 2 set of button, the upper set (render, flipbook, cancel) is my custom and the bottom set is default buttons (revert, cancel, close) created by shake. I want to get rid of these default buttons (bottom set). So later on my learning curve , i found the module : nukescripts.panels.PythonPanel() and nuke.Panel(). I don’t want to use nuke.Panel() coz it will be always in modal mode, thus i can’t select anything behind the popup window. So my choice is using nukescripts.panels.PythonPanel(). using show() i can use non modal mode.The problem is this panel always has a tab and a ‘content menu’ icon on top.
so my question are :
1. is it possible to create nuke.Panel() in non modal?
2. how to remove tab and content menu icon on top of nukescripts.panels.PythonPanel() ? i tried to dig the module, it sub class of pyui.Dialog which is a builtin module, so hit the wall…i don’t know how to go deeper, like i want to know is there any option to turn off that ‘tab’ or ‘content menu’ ? The documentation itself doesn’t talk much about pyui.
any suggestion will be great .
Thanx.

I’m working on a very complex script on a very long shot, and despite nodes being totally transparent or hidden behind masks that are out of the timeline, I’m seeing the node tree light up almost everywhere almost all the time. The only exception is when I’ve used a merge node and mixed a layer to zero. Generally I don’t want to sully my merge nodes with time-specific elements – I’d rather keep time separate – or I am using non-merge nodes to combine layers and still need to turn them off at some point. In AE, I’d simply set the layer in and out points and that’d be the end of it. Since Nuke doesn’t show time, I want to use separate time nodes also so I can label them with the frame ranges. Is there any other way to do this? Anyone have preferred methods that can be placed on a single connector?
Thanks!
