Scene setup/Resize node.

Ok this may sound like a stupid question (I can do it in shake with the crop, resize and DOD nodes),

I am importing an image that is bigger then what i’ve set the project up to be: (which is 720×576), I want to chop the image down in Nuke, is it possible to do this without scaling?

Thanks in advance.

Nuke Smoke Compositing – Stupid Problem.

Hey guys,

just wondering if anyone can help me with a stupid problem I am having, I am trying to comp smoke over my plate (see attached) and off the bat it seems really simple but I can’t seem to tint this smoke Black, so I essentially want this smoke to be blacker and darker whilst retaining its thickness and exact shape,

Everytime I try to effect the colour I can’t help seeming to effect the Alpha, I have tried copying its alpha to a black constant, using histograms and a few other little bits, even the invert doesn’t seem to visually invert this properly.

Excuse the colour of the smoke it was rendered out pink so it could be seen within a simulation I was just shuffling the alpha to make it white and start from there (plus they were tiff’s I just had to convert to JPEG to upload).

Im’ 99% sure this is such an easy fix and I am just doing something stupid but any help on this would be greatly appreciated,

Kind Regards

Dave

Anaglyphic vs Polarized

Hello,

Can some one explain the difference to me?

I know it is possible to create Anaglyphic imagery in Nuke, what about Polarized?

“interactive” scrubbing

hi,

this might be an enormous dumb question: but is there a way to have nuke do its update more like shake does?
e.g. show the frames while scrubbing through the timeline and not just when i release the button?

cheers

Layout rename

Hello, I was organizing my layouts in Nuke, but i can’t find any way to rename them (ex. Compositing, Roto etc).

Is it possible to do so?

Parallax

I am trying out a shot, which has a Fg layer, Mid ground layer and a Matte painting in Bg.
I want to add parallax between these 3 layers, to show enough DOF. I’ve tried projecting these on separate cards, with a subtle pan and zoom in camera. But it doesnt gives me enough depth.
Is there anyway to add parallax and DOF in 2-and-half-D. are there any options in the camera to animate the point of interest, which might help..

Pls comment people:radar:

Hotkey to replace existing node?

I could have sworn there was a key I could hold down and drag a node over an existing (connected) node and it would swap the nodes, keeping the connections… was I on crack?

DPX colorspace issues

Hey ya’ll…

Have yet another color space issue to add to the list. I’m currently working to full HD DPX files. My question is this: should I be working to the default colorspace settings, with the Project Settings (Default LUT settings) set to Cineon when reading log files? Or should I create a new LUT in the project settings with a gamma of 2.2 (edit expression -> pow(x,2.2)), and change the read from Cineon to the new gamma 2.2? Keeping in mind that my viewer settings are set to sRGB.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

🙂
