Rotoshape Animation Interpolation Curves

Hello,

There appears to be a problem with the interpolation of the animation curves of a rotoshape in Nuke. From what I can see by default the curves are set to spline. They can be set to linear in the curve editor. The problem seems to be when saved closed and the file reopened the curves set back to spline. Is this a preferences issue, or some kind of other setting or could it possibly be a bug in Nuke?

Many thanks in advance.

VFX TV Series

Thought you might be all interested in a new 6 x half hour TV series that we’ve launched on a bunch of networks around the world. If you’re in Australia you can catch it on ABC’s iView but for the rest of you check out Blip or Koldcast.

You can find the first episode here:

http://www.projuice.org/Series1Ep1.html

Each episode has a bunch of VFX and music tutorials, interviews with animators, filmmakers, DJ’s and Producers as well as showcase films, music videos and cartoons.

Would love to know what the VFX community think of the series and what people might want to see in the next series, so drop us a line if you get time!

Peace

Need Help – Click and Drag isn’t working

Maybe I missed something, maybe I set something wrong somewhere… but when I add any node that has a point to click and drag, I can’t move it. I add a Ramp, I can’t move the end points. I add a Tracker, I can’t move the center point, the bouding boxes, etc. I can use a roto node just fine, though. I can draw roto shapes, move the points around, everything.

So, is there something I missed in the settings, or what?

Thanks in advance!

VFX – Learning – XSI

Hi everybody. I’m an art student and animator enthusiast. Recently I been seduced by VFXs wich is a new world for me . This month I been learning the basics of digital composition with Fusion, for props modeling and some effects I use Maya mostly. Before begin, I did a lot of research of softwares and methods, one especially interested me: Softimage, specifically the ICE System and of course the impressive LOGOA, ¿what is the current position of this software in the field, worth learning it?

Greetings and excuse my bad english.

Immortals

Una nuova avventura mitologica sta per arrivare, si tratta di “Immortals” che uscirà il prossimo novembre nelle sale cinematografiche. Il film si ricollega stilisticamente al filone di 300 e un po’ ne è anche figlio, infatti nasce dal visionario regista Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) e dai produttori di Gianni Nunnari (300), Mark Canton (300) e Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter).[…]

GridWarp motion blur?

Hello everyone,

I wonder what would be the best way to motion blur an animated GridWarp distortion?

CornerPin is motion-blured by default. Why GridWarp isn’t?

I noticed in render panel of GridWarp some controls for ‘shutter’ and ‘shutter offset’, so there must be a reason for these controls to be there even if they’re not affecting the look.

Optical flow would be an overkill because motion data is already in animated grid points so why not use that data instead of analysing the footage?

I tried to add a motion channel (100% white) before the GridWarp but then the image is evenly blurred even without any animation.

Excuse my ignorance and thanks for your help.
