Maintenance licenses

So today I realized that you need to buy/renew your maintenance for every single render node, to be able to render with each new version of nuke.

I could see if they make you buy a single render maintenance plan, that covers all render nodes, but why make you pay a maintenance fee for EVERY SINGLE render node.

Does anyone else think that’s crazy? I don’t know of any other software that makes you do that, usually you upgrade the core package, and the render nodes are free, or at the very most, 1 separate render license covers all your render nodes.

I love the foundry and the work they’re doing with Nuke, but this maintenance fee stuff is crazy.

Using the “Axis” node in Nuke

I’m going through the excellent Gnomon Nuke training DVDs to create pan-and-tile scenes. However, the DVDs are a little old they’re using Nuke 4.

In the tutorial they connect the Axis node directly to the 3D card, but I believe in Nuke 5 the axis can only be connected through a TransformGeo node?

Tell me if this is right?

How can I set the initial state of node’s?

Hi there,

Somewhere I read how to set an initial state of a node, i.e. that the bezier tool has alpha only selected when I create it.

I’ve been digging in the manual and searching this forum, I know it’s there somewhere but I just can’t find it…

Thanks!

List of Nuke Command Line flags?

Hi all,

I have been using Nuke for about a year to composite 3D framebuffer passes. I am by no means a "compositor", but can get my way around the software for what I need to achieve with my 3d composites. My question is this; On a PC if I go to command line and type "render -h" the command line spits out a list of render flags for Maya so I can create a .bat file in notepad and render out my scene without the overhead of the software. Is there any command like "render -h" for Nuke in command line or if not can someone please post a list of render flags for a .bat script for Nuke outputs. Thanks to those of you who read and respond to this thread.
