Hi all,
as we are rebuilding Nukepedia I thought it's a good time to add some
more random tips to show on the homepage, so I thought I'd ask for input
from all of you.
The "random tips" collection will show a slide show that cycles through
a collection of random little tips and tricks at the top of the home
page. Kinda like before except it will be animated (before it required a
page reload to show a new tip).
If anybody has a cool little tip that can be described in a short
sentence, pleas reply to this thread and I will add it to the collection
for the new Nukepedia.
We already have the following:
* holding ctrl and click+dragging to the left of a digit in a number
field will turn on the virtual slider for that decimal position
* hover the mouse pointer over any knob to see it's tooltip help
* use the number pad to nudge any selected OSC (on screen control).
The modifier keys effect the increments.
* shift+number key on a selected node will load the respective buffer
into the wipe mode to compare it to the currently viewed buffer
* sign up to the official mailing lists through Nuke's help menu
* holding shift while click+dragging a connected arrow head or tail
will copy the respective pipe to create another connection
* holding ctrl/cmd+shift when dropping a node on top of another will
swap their positions and connections in the tree
* page up and page down keys cycle through your available layers in
the viewer
* "$gui" in expressions will return 1 in the UI and 0 at render time.
Great for enabling nodes only when rendering on the farm (use it in
the disable knob or Switch node).
* Middle clicking a icon of a node toolbar recalls the last node/tool
used from that menu.
* Use Alt+W to draw a ROI in the viewer.
* When working with floating viewers you can use Ctrl+R or Command+R
to have the viewer window resized to fit it's contents.
* Ctrl+Click (LMB) on a tab will detach it from a panel.
* Quick tap the space bar to maximize a pane and hold it a bit longer
to open the right-click menu.
* Use Shift+{ and Shift+} to hide/show the top and bottom toolbars of
a Viewer.
* You can toggle full screen for most floating panels in Nuke by using
Alt+S.
* Use MMB+Drag in the Viewer's timeline to focus a certain region,
Alt+LMB+Drag to pan it and MMB+Click to frame the entire range.
* When working with the Properties Bin you can use Ctrl+Double Click
on a node to open it as a float window
* You can scroll the Properties Bin by Alt+Clicking & dragging labels
of nodes
* You can use Ctrl+T to cycle between panels of a pane.
Cheers,
frank
