Ok, I think I tracked down the issue. The curves in Maya are fine and I thought something was happening on the import into Nuke but I forgot to mention an important step. I'm actually constraining an Axis to to the imported geo with a tool that runs the inbuilt Snap3d script for each frame, this is where the problem is. Its the constrained axis that has the weird curves, not the imported geo. To prove this to myself I manually snapped an axis on two frames and got the same jump in rotation as if Nuke wasn't respecting the vertex movement properly.

I've just done the same thing with much simpler geo (a card) and that works fine so I'm not sure why the snap function works fine on some geo but not others. I guess it was never designed to be used on moving geometry.

We are exporting some simple animated geo out of Maya into Nuke but for some reason the rotation curves are going mental in Nuke. While the visible position of the geo is correct the curves are flipping back and forth between keys. In maya the geo is baked out, no parent groups. Exported as FBX v2010. I've also tried objExport and get the exact same issue.

If it was Maya I'd say I need to run a Euler filter on the curve but obviously I don't have this option in Nuke.

Any ideas?
