motion blur on beziers? am I missing something here?

Hi Guys,

I feel like this should be a silly question but I can’t for the life of me figure out where to add motion blur for bezier shapes in Nuke. In Shake it was in the parameters tab, but in Nuke there is no motion blur quality slider or checkbox, there is no mention of motion blur at all! I looked at the poroject settings and once again no motion blur settings! Am I missing something here?

thanks in advance

Set tile color with python

Hi,

as a python excercise, i wanted to set the tile color for all nodes to a user specified color.
Should be simple 🙂 But the following code always just sets to a grey value, and secondly, the default value for the colorchip doesnt seem to do anything?

Code:

nodes = nuke.allNodes()
p = nuke.Panel("Colorize")
p.addRGBColorChip("Color","4194303")
p.show()
tcolor = p.value("Color")
for i in nodes:
    i.knob('tile_color').setValue(tcolor)


Nuke 5.1v3 crashing more with OS X 10.5.7

Hello, I had a pretty stable setup going, it was OS X 10.5.6 running Nuke 5.1v3, then I was screwing around with some OS X internals and totally corrupted my OS X to a point where i couldn’t repair it and I had to restore OS X from 10.5.1 Install Disk. I made a backup for the corrupted drive and installed most apps from scratch, but some I just copied over from the copied drive. Nuke 5.1v3 being one of the apps I just copied over and it started, so I didn’t think to install from scratch. Also, my computer automatically updated to OS X 10.5.7, so I can’t go back to 10.5.6.

Anyway, I get crashes all the time, now. I have re-installed Nuke a few times, but still it crashes a lot. Here is where it crashes.

when I am viewing the nodes and I am zooming in and out, back and forth, if I zoom too fast into the nodes or if I zoom and it doesn’t like the way I zoomed, it crashes. It only crashes on viewing the Nodes, though, I can zoom in and out of the viewer windows fine, but if I zoom too fast on the nodes, CRASH!! Happens every 10 minutes of so no.. Getting really frustrating.

Is it a OS X 10.5.7 thing? Are there some Nuke preferences or internals that I can find and delete manually that maybe aren’t uninstalling?

Would love to go back to the stable setup I had.

Thanks.

Benjamin Button – Digital Domain Nuke question

Hi there.

Last week, we had the FMX event in Stuttgart. It´s an event about vfx for movies, commercials and so on. Digital Domain was there with very interesting speeches about Benjamin Button. One thing I really liked was the spherical hdri lightning inside Nuke.

From what I understood, it was like:

We have a spherical hdri from the scene. Then it got projected in Nuke onto the geometry of the room. Then with the camera track, we get interactive lightning. So the artists at DD could load in an object (for example head of BB) and see immediately the light changes and so on. I think it´s a great way for lighting the scenes. It´s also great for an "animated hdri" for the 3d artists.

If someone knows about it or even works at DD – can you explain a little bit more about the process? How can you say a "projected hdri" to be also the light source in Nuke? sadly, I didn´t ask more about the process… 🙁

Thx in advance, Dez
