Need a hand with something I am writing up in Nuke.
I have a bunch of nodes in different backdrop nodes, and I am trying to set something up that will export out each backdrop as it’s own nuke script.
I was hoping to be able to just select the backdrop nodes with:
(backdrop node).knob(‘selected’).setValue(True)
But that only selects the actual backdrop node itself and does not react like when you click on the backdrop itself in the GUI and it selects all the nodes the backdrop contains.
Anyone have any idea how to do that by chance?
Thanks in advance.

The immages all seem to "bleed" into each other like the alpha is general throughout the individual immages and i end up with a mess.
Any ideas?

I’m 28 years old with a bachelor of science degree in computer science from Johns Hopkins University. I’ve been in the finance industry for the past years, but I am really thinking of pursuing a career in Visual Effects.
Just earlier, I was looking for a reputable school to enroll into and came across Gnomon. However, upon reviewing their application I must say i’m a bit discouraged. From what i’ve seen from their web site, it seems to be one of the best if not the best school for learning about Visual Effects. However, their application asks for portfolio- and being someone with no art background or experience with digital imaging, i can’t really come up with a portfolio to even send in with the application. 🙁
Does this school only accept art students or people that have already had some experience? Is there a possibility of me getting into this school at all?
"Decisions are based on a student’s application form, portfolio review and interview with the admissions department. Students are informed of decisions within two weeks after a their application is received. Portfolios should include 10 – 15 pieces in either digital or hardcopy format. Applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalent. Applications are accepted on an on-going basis. Students may begin this program every quarter."
Anyway, if anyone is involved with Gnomschool of visual effects (past or present) can shed some light on the subject or perhaps help me understand their acceptance requirement, i would greatly appreciate it.
-kind regards,

I’m contemplating going but wonder if it’s even worth it with this economy. I currently have a job but I’m stuck in a position where I can’t grow as an artist. I also don’t live in California which is working against me. Does companies at Siggraph even look at non-locals?
I’d love to hear any success stories.
Nike Music Shoe is the latest project by Daito Manabe, Tomoaki Yanagisawa W+K Tokyo and others (4nchor5, rhizomatiks) turning Nike’s free run+ shoe into a music instrument. Created using MaxMSP (i believe – help Daito!). Enjoy.
I’m interested in learning more about VFX and possibly choosing this as a career path. However, at the moment, i honestly can’t say I know too much about the field in general and was hoping if anyone involved in the field would be kind enough to share some insights and advice.
I’m 28 years old, a graduate from johns hopkins university with a degree in computer science and used to work in the finance industry. but am thinking of pursuing a career in vfx at the moment… hopefully this is not too late? 🙂
Could someone point me to a few web sites where i can learn MORE about vfx in general… what this field encompasses. what a career in this industry is like… what skills sets are needed, as well as what schools are best and most reputable.
Q1. Is it really hard to get a job in this industry? How is the pay usually like? Obviously everyone’s goal is to be able to work in a prestigious firm working on hollywood movies. but how many actually are able to break into that sector.. or do most just end up working on small freelance projects for local commercial type stuff. what do the majority of the vfx people end up doing? movies? commercials? what else? or do majority of the people struggle to find a job and only the extrodinaryly talened ones end up working in movie production and have a decent salary.
Q2. can someone provide a few web site links where i can learn more about vfx? the skill sets needed, perhaps a youtube video on what vfx is about, what a career in vfx is like, some reels that shows the process of creating vfx. as well as what the course work is like at one of these top vfx schools? and how closely related is vfx to animation? and what are the difference between a career in animation vs a career in vfx?
Q3. What are some of the best schools in the united states in regards to vfx.. how many years are these programs… and what the job market is like for a person fresh out of these schools. how likely it is for someone ending up actually working on movies?
I really would love to investigate some more before i make my decision as to whether or not i should pursue this career path and enrolling in school.
ps. are there any other sites like this for vfx? are there any other vfx communities out there where i can talk to the people who are in the industry?
i know this is a lot of questions i’m asking, but if anyone could answer them or share your personal experience having worked in the industry or attended a school, i would really appreciate any inputs you provide.
thanks in advance,
