6.3 Geo Face Selection

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry

Anyone know what are the uses for Face selection?

I tried the snapping functions and it asks for points. I checked the manual and it only says how to activate it and make selections.

flag for hiding animation path in viewer?

Posted in: Nuke Plugins & Scripts

howdy – does anyone know of a way to hide the animation path of some points that are drawing in the viewer? I’m hoping I can find a way to turn these animation paths off for the entire node, it’s drawing up a storm.

I thought it might be accessible through the hidden flags? would I have to disable them on a per knob basis or is there an overall way to kill those paths?

big thanks if anyone can help, would save me lots of "o" clicks, toggling off the anim path overlay.
