Python Button, and path

Hi everyone,

So, I try to create a python button to save comps into a specific location.
This location is a value created into a NoOp.

Example:

NoOp1 contain 1 input text field, and 1 Filename… field.
Filename field name 01: projectpath
Input text field name 02: shotname

Value into projectpath: C:/Test/
Value into shotname: Sh0010

NoOp2 contain a python button with this script:

Code:

nuke.scriptSaveAs(nuke.knob("NoOp1.projectpath"))


My problem is:
I would like to add the projectpath value and the shotname value, to have this:

C:/Test/Sh0010/test.nk

I can’t find a way to add this two values into the button.
That’s what I have now:

Code:

nuke.scriptSaveAs(nuke.knob("NoOp1.projectpath")+("NoOp1.shotname")+("test.nk"))


But of course the result is a .nk file named: NoOp1.ShotName.nk, into C:/Test/

Someone can help me?

Thx in advance,

Have a nice we 🙂

Nuke X 6.2 and batch rendering with Qmaster

Hi there,

has anyone already got this set up. There´s an older videotutorial for nuke4.7 by hugo guerra (thanks for that) but this workaround doesn´t work with Nuke 6 for some reason.
it seems like qmaster doesn´t know what to do with the nuke renderer. the commands to launch nuke and the right script works perfectly but then the renderer just does not start. any ideas ?

Stereoscopic camerasolve to Maya

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I could tell Maya to handle a stereoscopic camerasolve from Pftrack- which basically are two independent cameras- like the internal Maya stereorig.
So that I would be able to use the stereoscopic viewport to check my 3D Scene.
Has anyone faced that problem yet ?
Thanks in advance !

What programs do you need for Matchmoving?

Also, how do you use after effects for:confused: matchmoving? That is the only program I am familiar with at the present moment. In addition, what are the steps to matchmove?

What are some books on color correcting in after effects?

Specifically, I am looking for a book that teaches a person to color correction easily without someone being completely baffled. In addition, this book must teach the topic step by step. I am currently reading the“Adobe After Effects CS4 Visual Effects and Compositing Studio Techniques” . There are some instructions on how to match colors, however I feel that the book is vague and I at times do not know what I am doing.
