HOW TO SHOOT LIQUIDS

Hi,

As the title says i need help for resolving a liquid shoot. It is a commercial of some kind of gasified juice. Many jets of juice falls into a botle. The shoot has to be taken as its from the interior of the bottle. It should have a water explosion and then many "water fruits" falls into the liquid making a splash that desintegrates it.
The Director wants to shoot the commercial an i m going to make the post.
I don t have experience shooting or supervising liquids shoots. I don t know if we have to shoot transparent or colored liquid and what and i realy realy don t know how to resolve de "water fruits" without making it in a 3D software application.

any help or advice or tip is highly appreciated

thanks

best

PFTrack camera export to Nuke

Hi,

I’m having a problem with Nuke and PFTrack. I have tracked a shot and exported the camera data as a Nuke script. When I open the script in Nuke the prediction points are slightly off when compared to the pftrack data. Also the amount of prediction points have reduced dramatically.

Does anyone know what’s happening here and how I might be able to fix this?

Thanks

5.2 v1 lut default

Hello
in Nuke 5.1v6 , I had something like that in my menu.py

nuke.knobDefault("Root.monitorLut", "linear")
nuke.knobDefault("Root.viewerLut", "linear")
nuke.knobDefault("Root.int8Lut", "linear")
nuke.knobDefault("Root.int16Lut", "linear")
nuke.knobDefault("Root.logLut", "Cineon")
nuke.knobDefault("Root.floatLut", "linear")

but in 5.2v1, linear doesn’t exist anymore in the viewerLut but there is None instead
I thought this line could fix the problem but I was wrong.
nuke.knobDefault("Root.viewerLut", "None")

It stays in SRGB

Any clue?

Thanks

expression infos?

Hello
is there a place with more examples about the expression node?

For example and I don’t know if it’s possible, I’d like to get the Read1.red in the red of an expression node and the Read2.red (syntax isn’t correct) (I know I could use a shufflecopy but wonder if I could do without).

I just look for a site or video with more example.

I’d like to do something like that in my expression node
rgb = read1.red – read2.blue

Thanks
