combining auto / manual tracking in boujou 5? possible?

Hey guys,

Boujou 5 questions ..

Is it possible to do an autotrack and then use a manual track to lock it down further? so essentially combine use both?

Also is it possible to do a reverse auto track in boujou without rendering the plate prior in reverse?

Thanks

read file names & add to sticky note

Hello all of you python wizards. I have a little script that I cannot get to work and may be some one can help.

What is does: Selects all read nodes in script, truncates them to base name and then puts that info in a sticky note in the Nuke script.

What it is not doing: Will only put the first file base name in the sticky note. So it seems I am missing the loop to continue with all the names. I can print and see all of them in the script output window.

Here is the script below, what am I missing here and thanks for the help: (there are line indents where the > is, I could not get it to paste in this post with them)

for a in nuke.allNodes():
>>if ‘Read’ in a[‘name’].value():
>>>if ‘rnd’ in a[‘read_file’].value():
>>>>path = a[‘read_file’].value()
>>>>filename = path.split(" ")[0].split("/")[-3]
>>>>print filename
>>>>nuke.nodes.StickyNote( label = filename + "\n", note_font_size = 130)

addCommand to File menu

Say I want to add a command to the File menu, I can do this by adding
nukeMenu = nuke.menu(‘Nuke’)
menu = nukeMenu.addMenu(‘File’)
menu.addCommand("Bla", "Bla()", "")
to the menu.py file.

My problem is that the addCommand always adds the new item to the bottom of the menu. I’m wondering if there is anyway of inserting an item into a giving place in the menu?

3D Motion Tracking / Matchmoving Test

Hey Guys

Been doing more practice with Matchmoving today

In this video i have created an animation using Endorphin and imported it into 3DS Max 2010 as a motion capture file. I used feathers rather than blood as it blends in well with the biped because it looks cartoonish which sells the effect. I also created a shadow for the feathers by duplicating the layer and changing it into 3D and then i simply rotated the image so that the perspective looked flat against the ground plane, i then tinted the feathers to a light grey to correspond with the shadows in the scene. Finally i added a cinematic overlay to the entire scene to help them blend together

I know the sound is lame but it’s the only sound effects i had available

It’s a shame that youtubes quality is a lot less than the original footage

More than 4 track in the Tracker

Hi, I would like to know if there is any way to have more than 4 trackers in the Tracker node. I would be interesting to track animate roto points wich are more than 4. Also, having more tracks to average ans stabilization would be useful too.

Thanks.
