get expression value at time

hey,

since nuke has problems baking some expressions using edit->generate i just wanted to write my own baking script.
but i seem to run into the same problems as nuke itself: if i query the values from the knob that holds the expression i mostly get 0.0 or another static value over all the frames.

no matter if i use node[knob].value() and set the current frame myself or if i use anim.evaluate(frame).

strangely sometimes it works. but i dont know when and how. very unpredictabel behaviour.

anyone knows how to FORCE nuke to calculate a value?

cheers

Compositing Clouds, maintain Color

hello

for compositing purposes, I created a bunch of cloud clusters in my Maya scene and I rendered out the clouds separately.

but there is a big problem that I don’t know how to fix.
the rendered clouds are just black and white and with alpha of course, and after composite they can’t retain their original color and look .

please look at the pictures.
how I can manage to render the render layers to gain the original look ( which everything is in a single render pass)?

please help me with this
thank you in advance

Renumber frames in Nuke

Hi,

Is there an option in Nuke to renumber the frames that are rendered using the Write node.

For instance the input for a footage i’m using is from 213 to 629.. the normal write node will output the renders with this frames only. But I want to know if it is possible to render with the output images starting from 1.

Thanks in advance.

I just got out of the movie and loved it. I was wondering if anyone knows what software was used in the production. I am currently working on learning Houdini and it would be awesome if I could find out if and what it was used on in the movie.
