addCommand to File menu

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Say I want to add a command to the File menu, I can do this by adding
nukeMenu = nuke.menu(‘Nuke’)
menu = nukeMenu.addMenu(‘File’)
menu.addCommand("Bla", "Bla()", "")
to the menu.py file.

My problem is that the addCommand always adds the new item to the bottom of the menu. I’m wondering if there is anyway of inserting an item into a giving place in the menu?

More than 4 track in the Tracker

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hi, I would like to know if there is any way to have more than 4 trackers in the Tracker node. I would be interesting to track animate roto points wich are more than 4. Also, having more tracks to average ans stabilization would be useful too.

Thanks.

Kerning and text tools

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
I understand what Nuke is, unfortunately at my office, I often have to double over and do lots of random things with my beloved Nuke station (Mac, Nuke 6)

Is there really no way to kern individual gaps between letters? I mean, its not really a kerning tool if you just adjust the overall gap between each letter collectively…

Hoping that I am missing something here- any leads?

RLA Velocity in Nuke

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hello all,

I am rendering an environment out of Vue and putting the passes together in Nuke. Vue will render all the passes as OpenEXR files except the velocity pass. The velocity pass has to be an .RLA file. When I bring in the .RLA file into Nuke it cannot view the velocity data. In fact, the only channels viewable in the RLA in Nuke are RGBA, The 3d Channel Extract effect in After Effects can see: Z-Depth, Normals etc from the same RLA file.

How can I get Nuke to view the .RLA’s velocity data? or How can I get Vue to render velocity in OpenEXR?

Nuke versions 6.0v3 and 6.1v1
Vue versions 8 and 8.5

Thank You
Cam

Best way to remove “chatter”?

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hi all,

I don’t know if I’m alone on this one, but I always run into Chatter on my secondary masks.
For example, I used a keyer to change a shirt color.. The shirt area was filled completely white and I added a blur to soften the mask area.
When I looked at the results, I would get a lot of noise chatter from the mask.
Most of the time a blur node does the trick but some times it doesn’t.

I was wondering how you guys handle this type of chatter problem.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
lou

controlling frame range through python

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
I wrote a simple python script to convert some images with nuke, but for some reason when I run it, the frame range I specify in the write node is ignored. This is my command:

nuke.execute("Write1",1,1,1)

I run it from the command line, e.g. ‘nuke -x script.py’

I would think this would just write frame 1, but instead it writes the whole project frame range (1-100). What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Lens Distortion Q – pretty simple one.

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
If you are obtaining lens distortion parameters in NukeX, and you’re provided a lens distortion grid…
Do you check ‘Align Grid’ once it has analysed the image ?
(essentially it straightens up the grid so that it seems shot squared on)
Then use that data with the ‘Align Grid’ checked on for the image sequence that requires undistorting, or leave it unchecked ?

😮
