init.py PC file path problem

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Howdy,

At my work I have everyones init.py point to a folder on a shared drive and pull the meny.py and all gizmos from there. This works great on our Macs, looks like this:

Code:

nuke.pluginAddPath('/data/ice/2D/nuke');
nuke.pluginAddPath('/data/ice/2D/nuke/icons');

Problem is, now I am trying to get some PCs up and running, too and the same wont work:

Code:

nuke.pluginAddPath('z:\\data\ice\2D\nuke');

I know it is seeing the path, cause if I put something in the remote menu.py to mess it up, nuke crashes at start… however, none of the plugin’s in the menu.py load… so maybe it’s the way I am loading the files in the menu.py?

That looks like this:

Code:

m = toolbar.addMenu("SSF", icon = "ssf.png")
m.addCommand( "aePremult", "nuke.createNode('aePremult.gizmo')")
m.addCommand("AutoGrade","AutoGrade.AutoGrade()")

Fairly straightforward.

If I copy all the gizmos and menu.py locally to the PCs .nuke directory it works.

Any help much appreciated!

Hi all,
I have a project coming up in april which envolves a car ride (night & day)
we are still debating whether or not to go Permits, multiple cars, hwy, etc..
or green screen.

I’ve done a little research on the web and found that it could look real convincing or REAL CORNY.

Has anyone had a shoot with green screen cars?
Thanks,
lou

Stuttering 3d material

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hello!

I have some problem with a multipass sequence created in Cinema 4D. It’s very "laggy" or stuttering in Nuke. But the funny thing is that when I import it in After Effects its smooth as babyskin… 🙂

It’s a 16-bit .png sequence in 25 fps. The project settings in Nuke are set to 25 fps and everything seems to be fine settings-wise.

Doesn’t Nuke and .png play nice together or is something else wrong? Due copyright reasons I can’t upload the sequence.

Cheers!
