If you are locked to Nuke7 you can also give AtomKraft a go. Their AtomReadGeo is AFAIK free to use.

Thanks Deke. I can work around it while I'm still working on this show
locked to Nuke 7v10.

I also seem to be having an issue with piping a Constant color into
ReadGeo. I get some faces/surfaces that are black. I have looked into
making sure normals are facing the correct direction, but that hasn't
fixed it. Any ideas on that one? I can project on the black surfaces,
but constant color cannot be piped into them.

thx

    There was a bug all through Nuke 7(fixed in 8) where if the alembic
    file doesn't contain a childBounds property then it would crash even
    though in the spec this is optional.

        Hi all,

        I am having some success and some pretty bad bugginess with
        Alembic. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and has
        any work-arounds.

        If I hide child components within a ReadGeo node, the other
        remaining visible pieces will transform to a random scattered
        mess. This can be remedied by using the 'reload' button and then
        all is well and the geo is back in the expected positions. The
        problem then is that I am getting Segmentation Faults and
        crashing every few times in testing this process.

        Maybe this is fixed or better in Nuke 8?

        thx
        Dan

            I got this to work after some trial and error. I had success
            after cleaning up my Maya scene and exporting ALL via
            Alembic vs. just selected items. I was also exporting only
            frames 1-1 which was maybe also causing weirdness. I set the
            render globals to 1-10 and let it drive the export. It's
            working now. Thanks for the help.

                Hi Ron,

                I cannot seem to get the initial ReadGeo node to create
                separate ReadGeo nodes per parent. Do Maya groups
                qualify as parents? I've attached the pop-up. If I
                select the groups that I want I do not get separate
                nodes in my Nuke flow-graph for some reason. I'm using
                Maya 2014 sp4 and Nuke 7v10.

                    Hi Dan,
                    1) You can. Load the cameraTracker or your geo in
                    one Viewer input (say no 1). Then load your footage
                    in another Viewer input (say no 2). Then you can do
                    a compare between the two. If you load the camera
                    into the properties bin, then you can also lock the
                    3D viewer to the camera and see everything as it
                    gets aligned.
                    2) Alembic is fully supported. As you bring in an
                    Alembic file with a ReadGeo node you get a pop up
                    panel asking you how to import. You can then choose
                    what's a parent, which will be imported as a
                    separate node.

                        Howdy Nuke Users,

                        I am doing some 3D projection work in Nuke and
                        have a couple of questions. Sorry for the basic
                        questions, but I'm working remotely and trying
                        to vis some stuff rather quickly. I'm working in
                        7v10 on OSX 10.9.4.

                        1) Can the 3D view in the Viewer can be used as
                        like a perspective (or any) camera in Maya. I'd
                        like to orient my main shot camera by looking
                        through it. Is there a way to access the viewing
                        camera transformations, rotations and lens? I
                        see the '3D' tab in the Viewer settings, but
                        that doesn't seem to get me what I need.

                        2) I have imported a Maya scene for set geo with
                        full hierarchy. Can Alembic imports be used to
                        move individual objects that are imported via
                        one .abc file? I can select different geo and
                        hide them, but I don't see any transformation
                        handles, etc. I can understand why you wouldn't
                        want anything to be moved around in your Nuke
                        scene vs. Maya, but it would be nice (and maybe
                        this is already happening in Nuke 8)

                        thx
                        Dan
