Any Nuke users in Nashville?

Surely I’m not the only Nuke user from Nashville. If you are, we’d like to hear about you!

Chromatic Abberation gizmo

I know there are probably some of these floating around, but I just finished a script for a relatively camera-correct chromatic abberation gizmo.

Heres the problem. I have a lot of expressions within the script, yet they are all enclosed with the stream I want to make into the gizmo. When I group the stream, there are 2 expression paths it is still trying to pull from.
The 2 it is trying to pull from are enclosed within the group itself. All of the other expressions work fine.

Wondering if anyone’s faced these problems before when grouping with expressions linked.

Skewed camera planes

I see cameras have skew attributes, but its not doing what I need. I want the camera plane to shift horizontally along the X-axis. Without any rotation or vertical skew or shift.

In 3ds Max you can add a skew modifier to the camera and skew it in the Z axis, and it does what I want. Having trouble translating that over to Nuke. Tried exporting the CHAN data to a nuke camera, but it doesn’t retain the modifier info. Any help?

Day to Night

Error writing TIFF

Does anyone know why this might be happening – for some unknown reason to me, Nuke just won’t write a TIF / TIFF file and is chucking out the error:
write error at scanline 2303

Usual things have been checked like I do have permissions to write to that directory, other formats work fine (JPG, EXR) it’s not a Proxy output etc. etc…. tried all different compression types…
Also tried with Nuke 5.1v5 64 bit and 32 bit but both give the error.

Why the problem?

It’s a real pain in the arse to chuck out an EXR and convert it to TIF in Photoshop….

Thanks in advance if anyone can shed any light

Can’t smooth a track?

Came across a little snag here while doing some paint work. I did a track on this plate so I could matchmove in the fixes, but the rotation of the track is a little jittery. I wanted to smooth out those points in the track node, but it wont let me! I can’t figure it out. i’ve selected the specific area of the track in the graph editor, hit smooth from the right-click menu, but nothing is applied… Am I missing something here?

making a button in Nuke

Hey

I’ve seen it done in Nuke where instead of having a list of nodes or scripts under a menu on the toolbar you have a button which just has one purpose – to evaluate a script.

I’m familiar with making custom menus for Nuke but I would quite like to have a button for a script I’m writing.

Does anyone know how to write this in python? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Camera export from 3D Studio Max into Nuke

I´m a Maya user but because of a recent project i´m using Max.
I´m having some problems in exporting the camera from Max to Nuke. I use the same process like in Maya: Export all through .fbx and in Nuke i make a camera read from a file, the same .fbx but nothing happens.
Is there any specification that i´m missing?
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks
Cheers
