The duty of compositors is to seamlessly integrate all the layers or elements of a shot, including live-action and computer graphic elements. They need to have a complete knowledge of the VFX pipeline. Compositors work closely with Supervisors and Lighting and FX artists to composite the numerous elements that complete a visual effects shot.
Qualifications :

• Strong sense of composition and color.
• Strong attention to detail.
• A full working knowledge of Nuke, knowledge of Shake, Tokik or Houdini can be a plus.
• Some knowledge of lighting and rendering in some 3D package(s) can be a plus.
• A good knowledge of Linux would be an advantage. Familiarity with Windows useful but not essential.
• At least 1 years experience in feature films would be beneficial. Experience in other areas of visual effects (TV, Games) will also be taken into account.
• Team oriented.
• Able to learn in-house workflows and methodologies.
• Able to adapt quickly to changing requirements.

I am using a python function in an expression, something like this:

it seems to work fine, however there is an issue with the GUI. When I first create the node, then assign my expression and then double click that node to open the properties. It appears that it calls my expression thousands of times. ‘evaluating expression’ got printed 7,652 times — insane. Echo python calls is off. It only happens on the first time I double click the node. So if I create the node, double click it, get the properties, then assign my expression and then click the node, it only gets called once, like it should. Is this a bug? It seems really weird that it would evaluate the expression thousands of times… weird behavior?. I was able to replicate this on a coworkers machine and in Nuke5.2 as well. If this is not a bug and I’m just misusing nuke is some way, is there a way to turn this off? or a proper way to call a python function as an expression?

I’m trying to do a gizmo so by default I want the expression there. Also my gizmo is getting the values of a number of pixels using node.sample(). This means that if my function gets called 7,652 times im never going to see the result…

I was trying to see if anyone had similar issues and I found this post:

seems exactly the same problem.

Hi everyone,

I just started learning Python and I was wondering how do you go about dividing or multiplying a value inside a node..?

for example I have 3 cards in a scene and I want to multiply their scale value by 2.

I managed to figure out how to set all of their scale to the same value by running this script:

for node in nuke.allNodes( ‘Card’ ):
x = node[‘uniform_scale’]
x.setValue ( 1 )

how can I multiply that value?
