Hi – I’ve filmed a real world scene and tracked it in PFtrack without any problems. I’ve changed the units in Max to mm’s and brought the camera/floor grid and tracking points into Max and it lines up fine with my background plate. However when I import the 2meter animated robot that I want to add into the scene it is absolutely enormous and the models size bears no relation to the sizes in my real world environment.
Have I left out a step – should I add in a basic model in the tracking program and specify the dimensions of this model so as max can synchronise its units and settings with my imported ones ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hello all, Can someone please explain how to pull a key on a window with reflections on it? I got a scene where they put the green screen outside and they are looking to replace the view from the window. But how can I keep the reflection of the talent walking in front of it?
Thank you.

Shi Yuan is a Chinese graphic artist who has utilized heat reactive paint in some interesting ways, breathing organic life into otherwise static environments. I especially like the idea of interactive posters. How often have you seen a print that made you wanted to reach out and touch it?
Let’s just address F5 from the heart. It’s been a little over a week and we still can’t get it out of our heads. Ping-pong between the speaker sessions, re:play films, installations, drinks, the massive balloon logo, and above all…the atmosphere.
From Friday morning forward, you brought warmth and curiosity to Roseland. You engaged with each other and the world-at-large. You helped build a village of inspiration that will live far into the future.
Judging from what’s been said, what’s been written, what’s been posted…you also walked away with something new. It could have been an appreciation for artists you just discovered – or those you already knew. You might now be working on a project through a different lens with some new friends. You may have lifted one of the pinatas and have it there, staring at you while you read this. There are so many possibilities and opportunities that came from the festival.
And you got the spirit of F5 from Day One. The minute that Buck’s titles rolled, it was clear that this was like no other conference before. We had puppets, peacocks and robots — DJ’s, VJ’s and MC’s — severed goat heads and happy face avatars — banjos and turntables — a laser harp — and countless perspectives on the creative process.
As Kid Koala finished his set with Moon River, the beauty of our collective spirit was fully awake and you all stood as one – until the balloons fell late on Saturday.
The dreamers and the doers came out. And your smiles said it all. Thank you from the bottom of hearts.
(Our countless thanks to Buck and music/sound design team, Antfood, for an incredible title sequence that brought down the house and set a new benchmark for the future of titles. Basil and Noodles are the new mascots of F5! Check out the full version — and photos from the event)
what is easy in a field that expect digits (e.g..: (frame>10?5:0)) drives me nuts in the text field of a read node.
i want to be able to change a filename according to the error state of another node.
like:
([python nuke.toNode("TestNode").error()] > 0)? "filename1" : "filename2"
of course the above does not work like that.
does anyone have a working syntax for something like this?
