Nuke file association help!!!!!!!!!!

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
:(Dear friends after using Nuke 64 for sometime with Windows Ultimate 64 I witnessed permanent file association problem.For example I create a project and I instruct the Write node to perform a render of say a 100 image sequence asking it to output in jpeg format.When I open the created file I get the 100 image sequence in anything but jpeg.The created images in the output folder are virtually no name…windows refers to them as file in the File Type column.Premiere or other NLEs are unable to resolve the file type and won’t do an import for further process.I ran a preliminary search on the internet and they say it’s probably a registry problem.They propose to download programmes like PC Mighty Max 2010 to resolve many problems along which and file association mismatches.It seems that I can go no where from here…It’s urgent for me.Can you help?Please!By the way I hope you enjoyed your Christmas and I wish to all of you a happy,prosporous and creative new year of 2011:)

Rhythm & Hues’ animation for Yogi Bear

Yogi1

For Yogi Bear, Rhythm & Hues mixed 3D versions of the beloved Hanna-Barbera characters with live action whilst preserving the popular elements of the 2D cartoons. Here’s my article at fxguide where I talked to visual effects supervisor Betsy Paterson and animation director Joe Ksander about getting the right performances out of a 3D Yogi and Boo Boo.

DD::Image::Iop example problems

Posted in: Nuke Plugins & Scripts
Hi !

I looked into the Iop example codes /blocky.c ;checkerboard2/ and i managed to build them ,but it seems that they don’t work correctly.
I tried some logging in the validate function, it’s ok , but logging to console in the engine part is not working ..it seems that the plugin does not enter this part.The node itself updates in viewport but for the example the checkerboard2 stays black, the blocky plugin didn’t change the image also.
Also noticed that these plugins are included in Nuke and they/the built-in ones/ works fine as expected, / i built the examples with other names also ,removing the built-in plugs/.

I tried some other plugins also with pixelIop with pixel_engine and they works well not as Iop./the logging in pixel_engine also works/.
I’m on win7x64 Nuke 6.1v2x64 2 core machine.
Are they for older Api or does anything changed ?Or am i missed something?
thanks in advance,

Asi

Is multiple light wraps necessary?

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Aside from the added ability to tweak and control objects’ lightwrap in your scene, is it really a good idea to have multiple lightwraps?

Say I have a rendered scene in 3D with a metal ball and a wooden cube, two very different materials and textures. Say I rendered the ball and the cube separately and the background with no holdout so there isn’t a black edge where the ball and cube used to be and now I need to integrate the objects back in the lightwrap node.

In a situation where there are very different materials, would it be necessary to have multiple nodes or is it fine to just clump them together and use one? My concern was that I may need to have different settings for each distinct materials or it may not look right (although I don’t know if that would actually be an issue).

I honestly have very little knowledge of the physics of light and so I was wondering which would be most physically correct/look the best.
