Is it possible in nuke to draw a path and then let the camera follow that path. Or do you have to draw the path outside of nuke? You of course use the a light to make a path. But maby theres a better tool.
Would be great to go to topview and paint a motion path with like a pen tool and hook up the camera. Be albe to move around serval curvpoints in topview, not just current frame youre on.

Happy Holidays from DANIELS
Posted in: 2010, Daniels, General, holiday card, presents
Here’s a holiday card from dynamic directing duo DANIELS (aka Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert). On the nerdy side: I’m loving this mix of digitally-matchmoved features with practically-added limbs. Not to mention the fun cinematography, editing, and soundtrack. On the non-nerdy side: there’s nothing like pure, unadulterated joy (and revenge) on the holidays. Thank you DANIELS.

Hello everyone,
Ive have been a Shake and Fusion user for many years now and only just in the last few days have I made my transition over to Nuke. The issue that Im having may be due to my inexperience with Nuke but I worry that it may also be a real problem that needs a bit of expertise to get around it.
In my screen shot image, I have laid out a simplified version of my tree. To the best of my knowledge, I believe that I have done this correctly but for some reason when I lower the gamma in the color correct, the green pixels from the Unpremult show up.
The main layer feeding into the tree at the top is a 32-bit exr image.
(Disabling the ShuffleCopy has no effect on the final output.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Font Display Issues
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryMy 64bit NukeX (the 32bit version doesn’t have this issue) appears to be displaying it’s type in Na’Vi or something. I’ve tried using Linotype to clean my system fonts and caches, but it hasn’t helped. Has anyone run into this issue?
Here is some basic system info and screen shots. Also, disregard the broken read inputs, that’s not part of the problem, I just didn’t feel like relinking files for a screenshot.
OSX 10.6.4, Nuke 6.2v1, 2 x 3ghz dual-core xeons, 4gig ram.

Toronto, Canada Dec. 20, 2010 Southpaw Technology, a leading developer of production asset management (PAM) technology for digital entertainment and enterprise companies, announced today that it has closed a licensing deal with Vancouver-based Conversion Works. The stereoscopic 3D conversion house will manage its projects as well as all assets relating to its projects, in TACTICs unified production asset management system.
TACTIC is specifically designed to enable vast teams of artists and animators to manage the creation of digital assets from concept to completion. Combining asset management, workflow management, project management and communication tools into one dynamic, Web-based solution, TACTIC will allow Conversion Works to more efficiently and securely manage large volumes of assets, and to set up streamlined workflows with built-in automations that add even more speed to its patented True Stereo 3DX conversion pipeline.
Conversion Works will also use TACTIC to automate distributed workflows. When Conversion Works receives assets from its overseas vendors, TACTIC will automatically ingest those assets and send them to supervisors for dailies reviews. All notes from the reviews will be stored with the assets in TACTIC, and be visible to overseas vendors within TACTICs interface.
We are transitioning from developing our core technology with a small technical team into full production, said Daniel Roizman, director of production technology at Conversion Works. With the volume of data going through our pipeline each day, efficiency is key to our success.
