Hasta La Motion!

Sometimes, comps get heavy, and even seeing a frame takes like 5 minutes on a high end machine. it would be good to use that to scrub through the frame range of the sequence.

so essentially, a combination of the Frame Range node and the Time offset node.. with a little slider to control the time offset… 😮

is there a node that has this function? 😀

thanks!

I am doing 2D to 3D conversion in nuke. I need to extract a depth map of a live action shot. How can I do that? I tried the easy way in 2D making roto, ramp and fill my roto with different gray level. and I try with a camera to project my roto on card on different z positions in 3D space; The question is, when I look at my depth layer from the scanlinerender, how can I be sure my differents cards are at the good positions the one from the other. For example, I have a landscape, with mountains on the back, people on front; so I made layers for people and mountains perpendicular to the cam and one for the ground. How to I make sure my people stick to the ground and the contact of my people and my moutains with the ground card is accurate? I means where do I put those two layers in z according to the ground. I don’t know if I make myself clear.

I have been playing around with geometry deformation in Nuke, and came across the LookupGeo node. It gives me exactly the result I want to achive which is a stretched out room, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be able to animate the distortion over time.

Is there a way that I am somehow missing?

I have been able to achieve roundabout the desired effect using the TransformGeo node. But it is a linear scale in the Z. I would like to have a falloff type of effect, with the front of the room being less affected that the wall at the end. Would bicubics be my only real option?

Many thanks.

we setup a stereo workstation with a dreamcolor (for quality and color) and a zalman trimon (for stereo viewing). it works pretty well.
so now i made two layout-presets to easily switch the viewer to the required monitor.

it would be even nicer if it’s possible to switch stereo-modes on and off along with those shortcuts. is there’s a way to make that work?

thx,

I need to import a character animation for a previz (from Maya) into Nuke.

I think one chance is export a fbx and import it into Nuke with the animated mesh.

Then, texture the fbx as regular in Nuke and if UV’s are correct, the textures will be added correctly.

Do you know if this works? Is there any other method?

All the help should be welcome.

Thanks in advanced.
