keyframes
Posted in: NUKE from The Foundryyou all have been very helpful in replying to other questions, thank you all very much!!
the problem i am having now is that i have a clip thats 389 frames long with a tracking node applied to it. from fram 1 to 241, i have an image tracking on top of my footage, but the actor walks across the screen (and subsequently over my tracked image, which ends up on top of the actor) for about 10 frames. so i need to remove the image for about 10 frames while he walks in front of the object being covered by the tracking image, and then i need that tracked image to return after the actor has finished walking in front of it.
i have set the frame range of the tracked image for 1 – 241, but i don’t see how i would be able to have it re enabled after that. furthermore, the only options i have after frame 241 are to bounce, loop, hold or turn to black. i’d LOVE an option to "disappear". 🙂
what are my options? this node based editing is all very new to me. if i were using a linear editing program, i’d simply remove that jpeg from the timeline for those frames and have it return when i needed it.

Combining Pyro and FLIP in Houdini
Posted in: Beginners TalkHi,
I am student at Bournemouth University in MSc computer Animation and Visual Effects. For my Master Dissertation I am making a tool in Houdini that allows to develop a effect on transition of matter means gas to liquid.
I am planning to demonstrate it by showing steam evaporating from a water container, touching on a freezing window glass(its snowing outside) and condensing to water(droplets of water sliding on the window glass and water accumulating at the bottom of the window frame) as it touches the window glass.
For this I am planning to combine PyroFX solver and Flip solver of Houdini to attain this goal.
Starting point for this project should be getting the details how PYRO and FLIP work in Houdini. Is it possible to combine the two….? Would I need extensive use of HDK and VEX….? For conversion of gas to liquid I am planning to use principals of thermodynamics.
I am very new to Houdini so I would like to get your views and suggestion for this topic. Any Help with materials and links for information or sharing your knowledge is appreciable since I have limited time.

Hey i want to know what hardware would be needed to run the above mentioned applications.
Can an internal graphics card on an mac mini produce the same quality as an external graphics card on a mac pro, but with longer rendertimes.
It would just be for training and personal use, so realtime grading would not be a necessity.

It would just be for training and personal use, so realtime grading would not be a necessity.
So the basic question is: Do i need a mac pro to use the softwares succesfully?
Who's in charge here?
