Node for tracking bright spots

Hey guys,

I saw the Gnomon Workshop DVD 1 on Nuke Compositing a few weeks back. Great stuff.

In the lectures he mentioned a node that is able to determine the brightest spot in an assigned zone of a given footage, that can be used in-turn to drive tracking data for lens flare etc, which I thought was pretty neat.

However I’ve forgotten the name of the node and I’ve sat through several of the lectures again but I can’t seem to find where he mentioned it (Can’t skip around in the gnomon dvd).

Anyone remember the name?

2D Fluid Texture as Displacement

After checking out the examples on Duncan’s blog dealing with new features in Maya 2011, I thought I’d try and replicate a few. Right now I’m working on the bomber example, where particles emit into a 2D fluid texture which is used for displacement and color on a groundplane. There’s no outAlpha on the fluid texture, and when I set the Color input to density, none of the outColors produce any results on the heightField I’m feeding it into. Anyone tried this?

Thanks,
Paul
