Nuke 6.0 on Mac – Can’t find cache drive – won’t boot

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
I set my Nuke cache to an external firewire drive. Now that I’m on the road, Nuke boots up and says "cannot find cache drive…/Volumes/etc…." and immediately quits.

Can’t locate a .plist file or similar I can edit the cache. Is there a way to boot Nuke with default settings?

Thanks in advance!

Exporting Nuke Point Cloud Data into Maya

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hi there,
I’ve been using the Camera tracker in Nuke and have successfully used the Atom Splitter app to export the camera info via .fbx. into Maya. But, I also need to export the point cloud data (node) generated within Nuke’s camera tracker into Maya too. Yes I can write out the point cloud data into a .obj file but I’m guessing that there needs to be a bit of code to convert the point cloud data into locators, as the file is empty once imported into Maya Does anyone have any advice on how I might go about this? Thanks Alan

Looking for a Nuke Showreel

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hi All,
I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this…so feel free to move this thread if its not…
A while ago a short film or demo reel, something with a train in a Paris like city, created with lots of camera projections in Nuke circulated the interwebs. It was really nicely done and I would like to see it again as reference. Does anybody know where I can find this piece? I’ve searched everywhere…but no luck.

Thanks, cheers Koen

Gizmo Python buttons outputting on root level

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
So I found an old thread regarding this issue, and have been trying to figure it out all day.

I have a gizmo (and it has to stay a gizmo, can’t just use a NoOp), and it need to have a button that can do simple node creation in it, for example.

A decent example is shake’s nodes always had an option to generate a matte from the node, which connected into the mask input. Click rotoshape, it would create one and connect to the proper input.

I tried creating a python button on my gizmo, but it operates the creation of the (say, Bezier) on group level, and not root.

I need to have a button that can create nodes

Code:

nuke.createNode('Bezier', inpanel=False)

, for example. Works fine root in script editor, but when implemented as a button on the group, works on group level and all outputs are inside the group.

Simply put, or tl;dr, I need to be able to create nodes on root level with group level buttons.

Thanks so much in advance for any help.:rollbaby:

Checking with tcl for node input

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hi,

i want to switch a node on or off depending on whether there is some input coming into the node or not.
The problem is for example i use a grade node, and inside the grade node i use some mask channel. Now when there is no input to the grade node, it will produce an error (mask channel not found) and nuke will not render.

Basically i want to switch off the node when there is no input, so that the script will always render.
Is it possible to do this with tcl?

Not sure where to go with this…

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Okay, this is really a VRay/Fume problem, but since it’s about making sure I get nice EXR’s to composite in Nuke, I’ll justify it here 🙂 (Plus no one seems to use the Max forum here…)

Right, so basically myself and one of our 3D guys are trying to create a workflow using EXR’s from VRay based on Hugo’s great tutorial here

http://www.vfxvault.com/vfxvault.com…s_Chap_01.html

The problem arises with Fume. My 3D guy tells me that when you use the frame buffer settings on VRay it doesn’t render motion blur. Also, he is unable to seperate the VRay GI and the Fume GI. Does anyone know or heard of any workarounds for this?

Please don’t shout at me for sticking this here (I’ll put it in the Max forum too, I swear!), but I’d love to get this up and running as it would save me a lot of hassle in post (I love EXR’s with Multimattes too!) and make my boss happy for creating a more efficient pipeline between 3D and 2D.
