nuke.ViewerWindow.activeInput()

As far as I understand it, according to the documentation, this "Returns the currently active input of the viewer – i. e. the one with its image in the output window"

Am I missing a bracket or something somewhere?
It seems to be expecting a <ViewerWindow> type as an argument.
The error I usually get is this:
"descriptor ‘activeInput’ of ‘ViewerWindow’ object needs an argument"
I am on Windows using Nuke5.2v1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i want to integrated some cg stuff on red footage and need to match the digital noise from the compression.

Of course, retiming the rgb channels went smooth and sequence looks ok.
But now i am trying to apply zblur to the slow segment and i am having trouble slowing down the zdepth

I have tried to aply the zblur before retiming, but times of calculation goes up, i suppose triggered by the semitransparent alpha. Also, more arfifacts are aparent with the pre-blured version.

I have tried to retime the z channel using a cloned node from the rgb analysis, but results are extrange and unusable.
At the moment i am testing with the _vectorGenerator and trying to use the exact vector data on all channels, but can´t get to a nice result yet.

I have the VrayVelocity pass if i can feed it to the motion estimator to help with the calculations, but so far i wasn´t able to translate that info to furnace´s vectors format.

I am asking if anyone can help with some info or thoughts about this workflow. By this time rendering the whole slow motion sequence is not a possibility i´m affraid.

Thanks in advance

Erebus is a personal project I’ve just finished. It started two years ago, as a desire to work on a short film again, which I hadn’t done since university times with Theros. It began as a short term and mostly visually driven project. Working full time in VFX, it was really hard to find the time and mood to work on it. I took a long break from work, moved back to Athens and finally managed to finish it.
Now that this is over, I am looking for work again as an FX-TD, ideally in Vancouver starting this summer. Any suggestions please drop me a line via my site or pm.
