3dsmax + nuke at the same time = slow !

Hello,

When i run 3dsmax (even on idel, low priority) at the same time as Nuke, Nuke is sooo slow responding.
When i close max, Nuke’s speed is back to normal

I’ve set memory usage to 50% in nuke

Any ideas ?

ps: dual proc quad core 12gb ram quadrofx3700

Nuke path syntax

Hi everybody,

I have just started trying nuke and immediately found a problem with my folder syntax.
My projects folder is [ Projects ], that way it’s always on top of the other folders. Seems that nuke doesn’t like this, as when I move the files on desktop it doesn’t happen again.

The error is "projects: unknown command" on the loaded image in the node editor.

Is there some way to fix this problem, or do I need to change folders syntax?

thank you,

Matteo

Oprah and the launch of OWN.

Launching on January 1st 2011, OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network is a natural extension of the hyper-popular daytime talk show, and surely one of the few networks in the world built around a single figure.

With Oprah’s recent visit to Australia, the nation has grown even more enamored with the women and her message, and despite my gender-and-age I’ll happily admit that she produces an incredible show with a relentless message of personal growth, interwoven with philosophy aligned with the likes of Jung or Frankl.

Two years in the making, Philadelphia based BIGSMACK designed the new on-air look through “the numerous branding twists and turns” taken prior to the channel launch. On the technical side, the largely animated look of the network is complimented by a number of organic touches:

To create the on-air look BIGSMACK shot an array of natural elements — including light reflected through a variety of objects like crystal and Plexiglas, as well as water, glitter and particle dust — on a soundstage using a Canon 5D camera. That organic basis was then composited with digital elements animated using Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects.

The montage gives a taste of the IDs, menus, bumpers and lower thirds created for the network, along with the colour coding of the various dayparts (orange mornings, green afternoons and purple evenings).

newbie renoising question

Hi guys,

I retouched something via blur it off from the talent’s face. Now I would like to restore the noise so that it matches with the original.
If I use Grain node and match grain in every channel (r, g, b) separately, the result grain in rgb looks too colourful. I’d need monochromatic noise here.

Could you tell me how to do that please?

Or do you have more advanced tips how to match grain?

Many thanks,

pH.

Twelve-Short about the dating woes of a 12 inch tall man

Hi everyone!

I’m now in post-production on the short film I wrote and directed called "Twelve." It’s about the dating woes of a twelve inch tall man. It’s actually turned out pretty funny! Here’s a sample scene where our lead character "John" decides to give online dating a try…

http://vimeo.com/16677295

The password is peanut

(I didn’t want the video to be fully public so I put a password on it)

The composite in that scene is just a quickie rough composite for scene cutting purposes. We’re working on the finals right now.

We’re also currently trying to raise some funds for it via IndieGoGo to cover the costs of post and music licensing… mostly the music licensing. If you like what you see and can donate a couple of bucks, we’d sooo appreciate it! Here’s the IndieGoGo link: http://www.indiegogo.com/Twelve-A-Short-Comedy

And finally… here’s the link for the film’s website. It’s got some pictures from the shoot and such on there. http://twelve.iondream.com

Thanks!!
