Hasta La Motion!

Need a hand with something I am writing up in Nuke.

I have a bunch of nodes in different backdrop nodes, and I am trying to set something up that will export out each backdrop as it’s own nuke script.

I was hoping to be able to just select the backdrop nodes with:

(backdrop node).knob(‘selected’).setValue(True)

But that only selects the actual backdrop node itself and does not react like when you click on the backdrop itself in the GUI and it selects all the nodes the backdrop contains.

Anyone have any idea how to do that by chance?

Thanks in advance.

is it possible to kind of fake a stereo render from a 2D rendering when you have the 3D position of the camera + zdepth + Normal pass ?

Thanks

I know you use the merge node to connect the passes but I am a little unclear on which operation to use for which pass, and in what order.

Can anyone tell me the best way or provide a screen shot. I’m just using a few passes: defuse, ambient occlusion, specular, shadow, lighting, and reflection.

Thanks!

When I try to export my Syntheyes scene to Nuke, I have two problems.

1: Upon import I get the error that the Camera01Render.filtering_enabled knob doesn’t exist, and that the Camera01Render.false is missing a value. The Camera01.Render refers to the scanline renderer node from the syntheyes script. When I click the error away, it imports everything as it should.

2: The points appear very small in the 2D view (when viewing the scanline renderer/Camera01Render). Increasing the trackersize in the Trackers node doesn’t work. And more important, the points don’t appear anywhere in the 3D view.

Some extra info:The camera seems to work, the planes I’ve imported also seem to work. I’ve exported the syntheyes scene with renderable trackers.

When I export it with non-renderable trackers, I get the same error, only difference is that there has been a plane parented to the camera which shows my plate, and the trackers are converted to axis (which do show up in 3D).

Anyone got an idea how to get the export with renderable trackers working ?

I’m attempting to streamline my work flow in nuke by using Python to change existing node parameters globally. In this case I have laid out various "Card3d" nodes and I want to change all the motion blur parameters in one fall swoop.

So here is what I’m inputting in the script editor:

c = nuke.allNodes( ‘Card3D’ )
c["motionblur"].setValue (2)
c["shutteroffset"].setValue (0)

this is what the script editor outputs:

c = nuke.allNodes( ‘Card3D’ )
c["motionblur"].setValue (2)
c["shutteroffset"].setValue (0)
# Result: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
TypeError: list indices must be integers

I’m a noob when it comes to python so I’m in a bit over my head. What I gather from this is that my syntax is wrong and I can’t give allNodes a variable… atleast not the way I’ve written it. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
