Can softwares handle this??
Posted in: Beginners TalkHi to all..Im just attaching a image of a motion blur..Its actually three layers of motion blur with varying levels of alpha..Can any software handle these kinds of motion blur for rotoscoping..I tried getting this blur, but unfortunately the sample spread option in the motion blur settings is reducing the opacity of the original matte to provide opacity to the motion blur mattes…Can anyone tell me if any software has the capacity to do motion blur with different ranges of opacity for the motion blur…

hardware choice for FFF
Posted in: Hardware & Tech TalkI know that this topic has been discussed so many times but I could not something on the net that would settle my mind down.
My first choice:
Dell PowerEdge 6650 4 x Xeon 2.80 Ghz/16 GB DDR SDRAM 2x36GB SCSI RAID 2 *1000 LAN
My second choice:
IBM E-server Xseries 365 4 X procesoare Xeon 3000Mhz 8094Mb Ram, 109.2GB HDD, DVD Drive, FDD, NIC DualEthn, 4 x Num of CPU’s, 3 x O/B ethernet, SCSI Card, 3 x SCSI HD 36.4, 3 x USB Port, Rack, Black, W1
My third choice:
HP Proliant DL 580 G3 Xeon 4 X 3.0 Ghz/ 6GB DDR2 ECC/ 4 x 72 GB SCSI Raid/cd / Rack / Lan 10/1000
My fourth choice:
Hewlett Packard Workstation xw8400 – 2 X Xeon Dual Core 5160 – 3 GHz, SATA (Raid) RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 – 4 GB Ram, 250 Gb HDD, Combo( DVD&CD-RW) drive, FDD, 10/100/1000 ethernet, SoundOnBoard, 8 x USB Port, 2 X Placa video profesionala Nvidia Qudro nvs285
I know that these are primarily designed to work as a server!!
My question is which will better run (or run at all!) any Autodesk software such as FFF.
Can you advise me on one of these choices or something else. The price difference among the above models are negligible.
Thank you in advance.

hi,
I have been struggling with this problem for sometime so i thought i should ask the pros.
Im attaching 2 files, both are .rgb files. Now, one in exported from maya using mental ray whereas other is exported from max using vray. My problem is that when i take the file from maya into fusion, it directly shows z depth data, but the one from max says it contains no z depth data. Why is this happening ?
Any insight into this would be greatly appriciated.
Thankyou

3way color correction?
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryHello,
I am a fresh convert from Fusion and I have a question.
I pretty much love the Fusion color correction tool and I managed
to replicate almost all functions using Nuke nodes. But I still miss the 3 way cc. I remeber someone saying me there is a gizmo or a script that gives this option to Nuke. Is that true?
P.S.: Another one. In Fusion you can nudge masks with the cursor keys. Is it possible in Nuke?
Regards
Lukasz

Is there any python script which syncs the folder? or copies the contents to…..
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryIs there any python script where I would like to sync the folders based on the modified time…
I mean the script first should check the modified contents of its folder and then sync the folder based on the time of which its files are changed.
I want to make this script to go over the renderfarm can u pls help me…
or
Once the rendering is complete I want the rendered files to be copied to some other location apart from the target render folder…
Is there any post render script in nuke which does this?
Who's in charge here?
