Subject: [Nuke-python] your favourite nuke trick/tip
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:
a.. 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
b.. hover the mouse pointer over any knob to see it's tooltip help
c.. use the number pad to nudge any selected OSC (on screen control). The
modifier keys effect the increments.
d.. shift+number key on a selected node will load the respective buffer into
the wipe mode to compare it to the currently viewed buffer
e.. sign up to the official mailing lists through Nuke's help menu
f.. holding shift while click+dragging a connected arrow head or tail will
copy the respective pipe to create another connection
g.. holding ctrl/cmd+shift when dropping a node on top of another will swap
their positions and connections in the tree
h.. page up and page down keys cycle through your available layers in the
viewer
i.. "$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).
j.. Middle clicking a icon of a node toolbar recalls the last node/tool used
from that menu.
k.. Use Alt+W to draw a ROI in the viewer.
l.. When working with floating viewers you can use Ctrl+R or Command+R to
have the viewer window resized to fit it's contents.
m.. Ctrl+Click (LMB) on a tab will detach it from a panel.
n.. Quick tap the space bar to maximize a pane and hold it a bit longer to
open the right-click menu.
o.. Use Shift+{ and Shift+} to hide/show the top and bottom toolbars of a
Viewer.
p.. You can toggle full screen for most floating panels in Nuke by using
Alt+S.
q.. 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.
r.. When working with the Properties Bin you can use Ctrl+Double Click on a
node to open it as a float window
s.. You can scroll the Properties Bin by Alt+Clicking & dragging labels of
nodes
t.. You can use Ctrl+T to cycle between panels of a pane.
Cheers,
frank
