Create Bezier Points with Python

Hi all,

I would like to create a bezier node in Python.
My problem is when I try to create 4 points and interpret the shape (cusp points, smooth, ect). The rest is ok. I hope 😉

Here is what I have now:

Code:

knb = nuke.createNode("Bezier")
      nuke.knob("Bezier1.name", "Test")
      nuke.knob("Test.invert", "true")
      nuke.knob(Test.color", "0")
      nuke.knob("Test.points", "1998 232 0 0.31")
      #nuke.knob(Test.shape", "curve L x1 0")


I don’t know how I can create more that one point, and how I need to write correctly the shape curve.

I have create a .nk file to know how the bezier node is build:

Code:

Bezier {
 inputs 0
 invert true
 points {{
{-38 908 0 -2.83}
{-60 244 0 -0.32}
{1998 232 0 0.31}
{1988 908 0 2.82}
}}
 shape {{curve L x1 0}}
 center {960 540}
 color 0
 name 2_35_cache
 selected true
 xpos 239
 ypos 22
}


That’s an example but if someone can help me to transform the node code in Python…

Thx a lot

Attach 2D Tracker to 3D camera

I am doing this tutorial by Andrew K. on Video-copilot and was wondering how to connect a 2D tracker to the 3D camera inside of Fusion.

Any ideas?

Anyone in LA returned from Comic Con?

Hey guys.
In a bit of a bind, and I hope someone here can help. I have a pro pass for Comic con, but I was unable to get a guest pass. Is there anyone done with their badges (with a female name on it), that they could pass along to me, so I can take my girlfriend with me tomorrow?

It’s a long shot, but I figure there is no harm in asking.

If you have one, please contact me directly.

Thanks guys.

Garbage matte – how do I do?

Coming from AE, I have a bit of a problem getting into some of the basic things in Nuke. Many things makes perfect sence, but some don’t. Garbage mattes for example.

When keying in AE, I make a mask and cut out parts of the image that I don’t need. Then I apply a keyer.

In Nuke, this doesn’t seem to work for me. After my read node I add a Paint/Roto node and make a mask around the area I want to cut out. I tell the node to affect the alpha channel only and then I add a premult. Perfect. But as I merge my fg to my bg, the same garbage matte gets applied to the bg as well. I can’t seem to figure out how to make this work. The only work around I have at the moment is to color my garbage matte green and key it out.

In AE I also like to pull a hard kay, dialate it and get an automated garbage matte without having to keyframe, that I then stencil over my next layer. How do I do this in Nuke? I do a hard key, dilate it and then stencil the matte over the original and I get the same result. But again, after I add my keyer and as I merge it, this automated garbage matte affect my bg as well.

What am I doing wrong?
