“interactive” scrubbing

hi,

this might be an enormous dumb question: but is there a way to have nuke do its update more like shake does?
e.g. show the frames while scrubbing through the timeline and not just when i release the button?

cheers

finding creature/character comp projects…

Hi, I’m new to this forum and haven’t explored every thread,…but for quite a while now I’ve wanted to find a creature/character comp project that I could lend my abilities to…I work as a character artist at Namco games,…but my first love is film, so I’d very much like to connect with people also interested in doing a high quality shot, short, ect, involving live action and cg.

if anyone has advice on locating a project of this kind, I’d greatly appreciate it; I browsed through the short film section of this site..,and there were a few recruitement requests (I’ll continue searching), but perhaps there are other ways to connect

to see some character stuff i’ve done, go to www.tempsketches.blogspot.com

PFTrack Export Problem

So…I’m new to PFTrack, and this seems like it would be fairly easy to solve, but I can’t figure out why this is happening:

I have a project that is 230 frames long. I export my camera from pftrack as a .ma Maya Ascii scene.

Everything comes into Maya fine. The scale, the tracking locators, the image plane, but the camera’s baked animation stops….at frame 183. The image plane’s movie goes on to 230, so thats still fine.

Its like the camera is set to a MUCH faster frame rate, or something. I’ve tried stretching the animation out in maya, to terrible results. Please help!
