Hi all,
I’m working my way through Steve Wright’s ‘Digital Compositing For Film And Video’ and need to use a ‘Monochrome’ node.
As Nuke doesn’t have one built in, I’ve switched back over to Shake for this. Which seems bizarre as Nuke is clearly the way forward, and a monochrome node doesn’t seem overly complex.

I’ve found the NFX plugin pack, but it doesn’t seem to be compatible with the 64bit osx version of Nuke 🙁
Any advice, tips or suggestions?
Thanks in advance guys :fingerscr

Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with applying lens distortion to actual trackpoints in nuke? Basically, we have shots that need tracking, but we don’t have lens grids shot yet, so I was hoping to track the plates without undistorting them and then, once we have grids shot, undistort both the plates and the tracks….
Any help would be appreciated….
Cheers
