Hasta La Motion!

I’m having some difficulty working out the syntax for an equation in a gizmo. Basically, I want to do this:

(a-b)/2

Using the root first and last frames, I can make the following work (this is in a read node, hence the "last" at the beginning):

last root.last_frame-root.first_frame

But when I add in the rest, it fails:

last (root.last_frame-root.first_frame)/2

Can anyone help me? I’ve been trying to find a solution using different types of brackets, using spaces, etc, and I can’t work it out.

Hi Nuke Forum,

I’m using an intel Macbook Pro with OSX 10.4.11

Simply, I am trying to run a render only license of Nuke from a Mac Terminal (Bash Shell) and it will not run. It is a non GUI Nuke license purely for running scripts and commands. It is not for compositing.

I always get the error "-bash: nuke: command not found"

At the prompt I have tried:
1) nuke THEN GET "-bash: nuke: command not found"
2) Nuke THEN GET "-bash: Nuke: command not found"
3) nuke5.1v3 THEN GET "-bash: nuke5.1v3: command not found"
4) Nuke5.1v3 THEN GET "-bash: Nuke5.1v3: command not found"

If I type Shake at the command line….I can boot Shake?

In saying that I am not expecting to see the Nuke interface, I am expecting it to execute the command(s) I place after, as you would if you were to run Shake [command1][command2] etc

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Am testing for a job at the moment.

Shot a test scene in a studio with tracking markers on the wall at 1m intervals.
Tracked and solved in PFTrack, with correct filmback and lens focal length.
Scaled the scene in PFTrack, measuring between 2 points and making that distance 1m.
Exported from PFTrack as a Nuke scene, which opens nicely into Nuke, with a very nifty point cloud (of nulls) you can attatch to the scene file as reference.

Imported a Maya fbx of the yet-to-be-built sets, made lifesize, ie 1m is 1m.
BUT, I’m having to reduce the fbx to 20% of it’s size to apparently fit the PFTrack exported scene, not what I expected.
What ‘gotcha’ am I missing here, as in my mind the scales should match?
Is the PFTrack or Maya scene scale wrong?

thanks in advance

what is the maximum limit where the Exr format can store? I think its 32

please correct me if im wrong…

Has anyone noticed this in nuke 5.1v3?
Whenever i enter a value in the parameters box, when i’m done i click enter or click somewhere in the node space to deselect the box.
But then when I try to toggle my viewer, it enters 1’s into the parameters box and thus setting the value way too high.
I’m on OSX btw
