Re: [Nuke-users] disappearing scripts

[Marten Blumen]

Ok - found the bug. Your script will be deleted if you have '[value
root.name]' in the autosave preferences, then 'Save New Comp Version', then
'Save'.

Enjoy!

[Nuke-users] disappearing scripts

[Marten Blumen]

Does anyone know if the autosave function can delete real scripts in
anyway?

We've had some scripts disappear and the culprit is looking like the
autosave preferences having the pop-up help's syntax in it i.e. [value
root.name] or [file tail [value root.name]].

Hardware has passed diagnostic tests. Nuke v10.v4. MacOs Sierra 10.12.4

Thanks!

Re: [Nuke-users] Ext with log color space

[Marten Blumen]

the good part is there is so much dynamic range in exrs that compressing to
log probably makes no difference and would suit their pipeline.

Maybe they are referring to floating point being naturally log in it's
precision, or, some effects look better if processed in log instead of
linear, apart from that log is a colour space compression technique only
afaik.

Yeah - guess the question is are we stuck with v10.5 for a year or does a

Don't get me wrong - still think Nuke is a very productive tool hell,
the Emmy I picked up this year couldn't have been done without it!

[Nuke-users] Nuke roadmap?

[Marten Blumen]

Is there a roadmap for Nuke?  'Maintenance' is coming around and v10.5
doesn't appear to do too much. v11 is already in the bug tracker for some
bug resolvements; Roto++ is a disparate Foundry development that supersedes
Nuke's tech; 'Lead Software Engineer - Nuke Engine' kind of sounds like
Houdini Engine. etc.

Re: [Nuke-users] Nuke ignoring GPU?

[Marten Blumen]

Unless the GPU is running out of memory, it's usually very fast.

Re: [Nuke-users] NVIDIA card for OSX

[Marten Blumen]

To digress with the 980/OsX; there is a problem with the pop-up thumbnail
display when trimming or any timeline work that display it.  The machine
will then likely hard restart, or, less likely freeze then quit. Hardware
reboots are usually a kernel bug that Foundry would have to do a work
around until Nivida fix it. This is in the bug tracker as 'Request #12962
Machine Freezes In HieroPlayer'

Re: [Nuke-users] GoPro rolling shutter

[Marten Blumen]

Foundry used to sell a rolling shutter plug-in, but the reality is that
jello-shutter is actually a slit-scan, and each line is from a different
point in time. So you can't really remove it unless you patch everything.
Enjoy :)

This is one reason 360 rigs are coming out with full synced non-cmos
sensors.

Probably not that the solution you want but there is a '1st Seat Payment

In the end an Indie version is still missing.

Re: [Nuke-users] Nuke 10 Reviews?

[Marten Blumen]

Yup - but it's just a phase IMO, like Flame/Inferno was in the 2000's. It
was a really well supported product for many years before then, then went
bad for approximately 10 years, as corporate made as much money as possible
without many updates, then went back to being good as the executives were
turned over* That's what I hope happen with Nuke too. With Sean now at the
helm, I'm sure we will see NukeX regain it's awesomeness :)

 Howard,

 I've been using it for temp shots right now, which means it's more
 forgiving and I don't need to do the cleanup to such an extent on the 5-15%
 of it that glitches out. But I'm just using it in a pretty vanilla way, no
 secret methodology as far as I know.  With VectorDistort, I've been setting
 the frame distance to zero. I've been tracking stuff to faces that have had
 a lot of movement, without going too "off model". Also tracking flames to
 moving bodies. In that situation, I have to account for the flames going
 beyond the edges of the person, but sometimes just blurring or offsetting
 the UV map (baked out) is enough to get me over the line.

 Converting SmartVectors to motion vectors is nice too.

 Cheers,
 Michael

in 10.v3 it comes up in the tab menu as RayRender(BETA). Also in the

Re: [Nuke-users] Nuke 10 Reviews?

[Marten Blumen]

AutoFoundry or FoundryDesk rolls off the tongue nicely :)

Nuke10 is really good. Very good auto caching system which helps thing like
camera tracking, painting is meant to be smoother, vector tools are all
ace, no worries doing vector blurs now - looks better, processes faster.
Still old boring bugs and slowdowns in the 3d system, but the raytracer has
just got deformation blurs too.  One option is that you can fill in the
gaps of the raytracer using PRenderman if needed.

Re: [Nuke-users] What do you miss from the Planartracker?

[Marten Blumen]

To digress; overall it would be good if NukeX would pursue a best-in-class
goal - like the new Vector tools.

Currently it appears that if it reaches 3/4 then it's finished, i.e. camera
tracker performance is better in Nuke10 with caching but SynthEyes solves
more robustly, the roto tools could do with soft selections as in 3d
packages to move a bunch of vertices with weighting , planar tracker should
compete with mocha 90% of the time, denoise should compete with Neat,
RayTracer is still far behind AtomKraft from 4 years ago, the 3d viewport
is death just viewing normals.

Yeah - that hardware preference fixed it only for a bit. After some minutes
it froze the machine that needed a hardware reset.

Re: [Nuke-users] Nuke Studio 10.0v1 on OsX 10.10/11

[Marten Blumen]

Looks like unchecking the hardware preference GPU 'expand 3 to 4 channels'
might have solved it. Worth testing.

Cool - yep it's a MacPro 5,1. Cuda 7.5.26, Driver 10.5.2, OsX 10.10.5, and
whatever the current latest is for 10.11.5 beta.

Easily happens with iPhone H.264 footage, in the timeline trim the clip,
click drag on the left clip edge, as the preview window appears NS will
freeze within a few seconds.   Upon rebooting the Console.app will show
some 'killGpu' commands, which should be the GPU timeout protection.

Re: [Nuke-users] baked meshed and textures

[Marten Blumen]

You're correct - that mesh will need UVs. There is a UVProject node, but
getting exactly what you want may end up crashing Nuke as the 3d system is
not so robust. Probably better to apply UVs in Blender, Maya, Houdini etc
then use that.

Re: [Nuke-users] Studdering / bad performance on Mac OS El Capitan

[Marten Blumen]

Problems in OsX 10.11 can be mitigated by:

Not using the tablet, use the mouse.

Hiding the parameter pane, i.e. making the viewer full screen.

Much better at this stage to stick with OsX 10.10

A positive view is that Foundry Support are quicker than Apple's Dev Bugs,

Re: [Nuke-users] GPU Denoise set to film - posterizes?

[Marten Blumen]

Just a vanilla 980. This is in OsX 10.10.5. Try setting up a script with a
gradient and noise that can reproduce the error. Post it and we can test it.

The 980 and 980Ti are the same specs, just different ram.

Re: [Nuke-users] Nuke locking up with 1 cpu busy

[Marten Blumen]

Initial testing shows that the 1 cpu lockup for 40+ sec is fixed by
removing the 'tilecache' folder that the RotoPaint node creates and uses.

For example a 'bad' tilecache directory had 285K items in it, the new
'tilecache' folder that is created automatically works perfectly.

OsX, nuke 9.08.

Re: [Nuke-users] Tracker averaging?

[Marten Blumen]

Baking the trackers also has the benefit of avoiding the 'recalculating
keyframes' dialog, which can occur when you leave the 'Tracker4' in the
node stream.

Re: [Nuke-users] particle cache for a single frame?

[Marten Blumen]

Quasi UDIMs will work. UVProject with an Axis node, set x to -1, to set an
adhoc UDIM number on one particle input, then a Transform node, set to 1208
on a HD_720 format, on the texture going into the .abc file will be picked
up.

Re: [Nuke-users] CameraTracker - 3D point selection

Steps are: Track, solve, create linked camera, tab key -select camera and

switch to 2d, select tracker, delete, update .  rinse and repeat.

Re: [Nuke-users] CameraTracker - 3D point selection

[Marten Blumen]

User tracks are the method I've adopted from the SynthEyes workflow; the
concept is; less trackers but more accurate trackers, the better, aiming
for ~8 - 15 on screen at any one time.

I'm quite open to learning why hundreds of trackers improves a camera track
though. All that has achieved, for me at least, is to add noise and errors
to the solve.

Matching the 2d tracker to 3d tracker is to reduce the RMS - the closer the
3d tracker projects to the 2d one means a more accurate track.

 I don't understand why you would try to fix a track this way by trying to

 Marten,

 What you have described is exactly how I've been doing it, but to me,
 this is a counter intuitive and time-consuming workflow. There are
 many times where 3D points that are part of the solve, even after
 error filtering, are not even close to accurate. With several hundred
 tracking points, it can be excessively complicated and frustrating to
 guess which 2D point corresponds to the 3D point that is in error.

 So, I guess this is more of a feature request. Thanks everyone for
 clarifying, and I will forward this on to the Foundry.

Re: [Nuke-users] rotopaint vs dopesheet and curve editor - bug?

[Marten Blumen]

Nice Frank! Making the Viewer full-screen and hiding the stroke list brings

On 15 May 2015 at 04:57, Frank Harrison fr...@thefoundry.co.uk wrote:

 Hey all,

 One other contributing issue is having the CurveTreeWidget visible, so if
 you shrink the Paint's panel such that the CurveTreeWidet (the strokes
 list) you should see a big improvement in the performance. This has a
 bigger effect on perf than having the Dope Sheet or Curve Editor open in
 our testing.

 In other words we're very much aware of these issues (we have 3 separate
 issues logged in this area) and now that we've made huge strides in
 improving the stability (*especially* in 9.0v5 and more so in the
 upcoming 9.0v6 release) we're starting to revisit performance for the
 v-releases.

 Please let me know if you know of any other performance problems or
 stability issues.

  Hi Bram

  I have seen similar with planar track then the dope sheet open can
 render the script nearly unworkable. Close the Dope sheet in this case.
 I have logged a bug (no idea number) but worth prodding support.

  Might be the reason clone is nearly unusable in 9 compared to 8 too so
 might test that.

 to die while steadily increasing the price of Illustrator, adding 3 or 4

Re: [Nuke-users] drop deep samples

[Marten Blumen]

Do you have an example where 100% opaque front pixels don't drop samples?
Just ran a quick test and it appeared to do that automatically in Nuke 9.05
when using DeepToPoints post Scanline.

There are hidden DeepDeOverlap, DeepOmit  Deep Clip Z nodes available
after updating that may try to do something you're after.

 I don't have Nuke open, but is there not a drop zero opacity samples
 checkbox on the ScanlineRender deep tab?

 If not, the workaround that has worked for me is to run an expression with
 DeepExpression that pushes the location of any deep samples with zero alpha
 behind the camera frustum, then use a DeepCrop to get rid of them. Hope
 that helps.

 Cheers,
 Michael

 Is there a way to drop deep samples in renders made in nuke's scanline
 when front pixel is 100% opaque? Cause as soon as you add some motion
 blur in your scanline, deep samples get crazy and make a very huge file.

Re: [Nuke-users] LensDistortion overscan help

[Marten Blumen]

Re: Nuke Notebook.

A good idea is to use the Toolsets to hold preset node setups too. It's the
spanner icon in the toolbar-Create

That saves a script of selected nodes into your ~/.nuke/ToolSets folder
automgically  available to all your Nuke sessions on-demand.

 The Reformat node in Nuke misses a option to reformat by a full box with

 But since it doesn't, what you can do is do your LensDistortion then add a
 Crop where x,y,r and t are derived from the inputs bbox via expression.
 Then do your jazz and merge the output of that jazz to your original input
 or something that has the same format of your image before the crop. On the
 output of that jazz before the merge add a position node and type in the x
 and y values from the crop, this should yield your original image with your

 Yeah, for some reason it puts black based on the image before

 But in case you really need black, you could always put a crop after the

 From what I understand OP is trying to render nuke geometry as subdivision
 surfaces. I don't think the nuke renderer supports it? But as Deke says,
 you would need a displacement map that maps the difference between the cage
 and the smooth surface. And if the geometry is changing shape you would
 need a sequence of maps.

 You could maybe export the geometry files with a few subdivisions on them?
 Sure, it would slow things down a bit, but it's an easy fix.

 The second alternative would be to use the renderman renderer in nuke, if
 you have access to renderman. Otherwise I would look into using Atomkraft
 for the same thing.

 Do you mean fix the normals so the faces don’t look faceted or do you
 mean subdividing the surface?  If it’s normals then you can do this with
 the Normals node.  Though it sounds like your trying to fake subdivision
 surfaces with a displacement but it is linear from the normal so you would
 need a normal map on the displacement shader to get proper rounding and get
 a subdivision surface like feel.

Super fast displacements; that's the one feature I got AK for. Now it's my

 to put a camera where you want your light source, use a scanline renderer

 work with.

 by changing this to only the HSV sliders being open will be a significant
 improvement. Newbies will be less confused and battle weary pros will not
 care one way or another.

   From a UI design IMHO by adding a divider between the colour wheel and

   I can not find the student's work on this topic. But one thing that
 I recall as being a sensible idea was to reconfigure the color space
 buttons in the manner show in pallet_03.png. This is observant of the
 simple principle: that buttons and their associated actions should be
 visually related. I also moved the before / after sample swatch to a more
 agreeable position and sightly increased the spacing on the top bar to
 accommodate a larger swatch. This is to reflect its importance. I also
 added a divider line between the wheel and the rest of the pallet.
  
   These are not behavior changes so much as readability changes.

Re: [Nuke-users] Shadow from 3d objects on video

It's very easy in Nuke 7.

Set the output mask to a channel in the Shadows tab of a light.

Add a Phong and FillMat shader to your shadow-catching geometry.

I've attached a sample scene.

Yes - see the attached graphic.

For the Scanline set the AntiAliasing to High  Multi-samples to 20 or 30

I prefer AtomKraft as you get motion blur for free as well as alias-free
silhouette edges: https://atomkraft.hk/

Perhaps different shaders? Tune the internal renderer?

 Dear Nuke users,

 When rendering a plane close to a 90 degree angle you get raggidy edges.
 Aliasing does not help. As far as i know regular 3d software does not
 have this issue since you can tweak the sampling and basically tweak the
 rendere quite a bit.

 I run into this problem a lot when doing animated graphical stuff.

 One quick but rather dirty solution is to render those frames with a
 different filtering essentially blurring the image.

 However, surely there's a better way. Perhaps different shaders? Tune the
 internal renderer?

 Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

 I've attached a sample image so it's clear what i'm talking about.

 Hi Michael
 I'm actually testing this right now as Fusionio just gave us a bunch of

 compressed file it it is spending more time with compression, not sure if
 it is cpu bound or what(needs more study but its slower).  Openexr
 uncompressed files though are considerably superfast but of course the
 issue is that it is 18 meg a frame.  These are single layer rgba exr files.

 So far, I've found it has no benefit when localising all Reads in a

 There may be real tangible benefits to putting the Nuke cache on it though

 I'm also guessing that as gpu processing becomes more prevalent in Nuke

 create reflection map in Nuke.

 - add environmental light to a scene with the object.
 - add a new scene and locate a new camera where the object is.
 - connect the scene to the scanlinRenderer and set the projection type
 to sphere.
 - connect the scanlineRenderer to map input of the environmental light.
 - composite the object with reflection over the same object with
 diffusion.

Re: [Nuke-users] reflections

[Marten Blumen]

Agreed. here's a test comparing Scanline Environment lights, and AK
raytracing with a skydome.

Can you get the same effect using the ReflectMat?

 That's the problem with environment lights - they're always at infinity so
 there's never any translation, only rotation, so they will never appear as
 if they're translating along the surface.

 Hi Michael

 I'm actually testing this right now as Fusionio just gave us a bunch of
 them.  Early tests reveal that with dpx it's awesome but with openexr zip
 compressed file it it is spending more time with compression, not sure if
 it is cpu bound or what(needs more study but its slower).  Openexr
 uncompressed files though are considerably superfast but of course the
 issue is that it is 18 meg a frame.  These are single layer rgba exr files.

 I'm evaluating one of these at the moment and am interested to know if
 others have got it working with Nuke nicely, meaning, have you been able to
 really utilise the insane bandwidth of this card to massively accelerate
 any part of your day to day compositing?

 ** **

 So far, I've found it has no benefit when localising all Reads in a
 somewhat heavy comp, or even playing back a sequence of exr's or deep
 files, compared to localised sequences on a 10K Raptor drive also in my
 workstation - hopefully I'm missing something big though, this is day one
 after all.  

 ** **

 There may be real tangible benefits to putting the Nuke cache on it though
 - I'll see how it goes.

 ** **

 I'm also guessing that as gpu processing becomes more prevalent in Nuke
 that we will see a real speed advantage handing data from a card like this
 straight to the gpu.

 In my experience ID passes are not that great to use for masks.  There
 are gizmos on nukepedia which pull keys on the color but they are often
 bleeding color into other channels because there are colors which aren’t
 even secondary(pink, light green, etc..) and the pass is not anti-aliased.
  Also anything semi-transparent like glass or motion blur is an instant
 fail.  It is much better to render a bunch of separate mattes to channels
 in an exr file.  Nuke lets you have up to 1024 channels, so you should use
 them :)  I haven’t seen a script for arnold yet but there are many for MR
 and Vray to auto generate matte passes in separate channels of an exr for
 objects in a scene.

 It could be very useful to get all the ID passes on one layer, but I

 create reflection map in Nuke.

 - add environmental light to a scene with the object.
 - add a new scene and locate a new camera where the object is.
 - connect the scene to the scanlinRenderer and set the projection
 type to sphere.
 - connect the scanlineRenderer to map input of the environmental
 light.
 - composite the object with reflection over the same object with
 diffusion.

Just tested AtomKraft for this and it works. Sounds like you need to

 Dont get me started on deep! ;) Since Nukes scanline renderer cannot

 you are back to square one with clipped z-channels before converting to
 deepiness.

 Cranking the alpha up is a workaround, but only in the case above where
 you create one scanline for every card, otherways transparent fg cards will
 totally occlude bg cards.

 Jonathan, you shouldnt take credit for the neglect of the 3d engine for

I've enquired about Abc files holding particle data, i.e. size velocity etc
and I think I've a feature request at Foundry to do this but it's not part
of the the Alembic spec. I hope that Partio will be included in Nuke in the

Make sure you send bugs and feedback into Foundry, it's the way software

IT HAS TO JUST WORK.


Unfortunate all software has problems; I've never had any software all

AK is what Nuke's 3d system will be in a few years.

 I just ment when you use the geo input on the modelbuilder that it
 essentially snaps any geo your creating in the modelbuilder into roughly
 the same scale/space as the one in the input.  So while you can’t use it to

 it.


 I see that now. Thanks…

 PointCloudGenerator node. I'm hoping some of you with more experience in
 this area can help me with a couple of things that I don't quite 
 understand…

 The main question I have deals with point coverage. I have a test clip
 I'm using that is shot from a boat, looking onshore at some glacial ice,
 with rocky mountains in the background. I can get a lovely CameraTrack,
 thanks to all of the available points to track. The parallax is good as the
 boat moves up and down and goes slowly past and around the glacier ice. In
 the PointCloud Generator, I've tracked points and get a pretty good lock
 with points on the foreground ice and on the background rocks. However, I
 do not get full coverage of points in the shot. For example, the foreground
 ice is truncated on the left hand side at the beginning of the shot (the
 boat moves from left to right across the scene, so the footage moves from
 right to left). Also, as the boat bobs up and down, it reveals more
 truncated points at the top. I never lose coverage on the right of the
 frame, however. I can't tell what's happening on the bottom of the frame,
 since I am masking out the water that is there. I'm guessing that the lack
 of coverage on the left probably has to do with the fact that there are no
 prior frames to look at for parallax reference. But, still, a regular
 camera track seems to have more coverage. I can't quite wrap my head around
 this. Can anyone explain it to me? And, is there a way to do the analysis
 to get greater point cloud coverage…?

 I watched the demo video that Steve Wright put together -
 https://vimeo.com/54931986 - and his mountains clip happens to be very
 similar to my test clip. Looking at his result, I can see that he is also
 getting the same sort of clipping - not getting complete coverage of his
 scene. So, maybe the rest has to be hand modeled after a mesh is generated?
 I mean, in order to do a projection on a mesh derived from the point cloud,
 you'd absolutely have to extend it. Is this always a manual process…?

 Thanks for any help!

Re: [Nuke-users] max number of motion blur samples in the scanline renderer

[Marten Blumen]

You can use VectorBlur after the Scanline to add more motion blur, this
smoothes the 60/70 samples 'limit'.

Page 444 of the Nuke 7.04 User Guide explains it well - 'Adding Motion Blur
Using VectorBlur'

 Hi

 seems like the max amount of moblur samples is somewhere between 60 and
 70, is there a reason for that? Is there a way to hack beyond that?

 (other than doing two renders with an offset of the motionblur and combine
 them after)

Re: [Nuke-users] max number of motion blur samples in the scanline renderer

[Marten Blumen]

What's the weakest part of the 3d system? What are you trying to achieve
that you can't?

You can extend it pretty well with plug-ins like PolyTools, Dynamic's, JOps
etc

I do agree though. Nukes scanline renderer (everything 3d, really) is
 pretty useless.

Re: [Nuke-users] Point Cloud Generator questions...

[Marten Blumen]

yes- that's the way it works. It 'should' be fine for extending meshes to
add coverage- as you are probably just filling in the edges.  I usually can
get away with using one or two nodes, by selecting the edge polygons and
scaling them up- i.e. so they move out from the center. If you really need
to edit the mesh extensively then, at this stage, take it into another 3d
program like Blender, Mudbox etc to modify the mesh.

As you get more proficient with Polytools, you'll be able do a lot with
fewer nodes, as it takes some time to learn how to get the most out of it;
I'm sure later versions of ModelBuilder and PolyEdit will allow single-node
multi-edit mesh manipulations.

 Hi Marten,

  At your suggestion, I did download Geometry Tools for Nuke from
 greyangle.com. I played around with the PolyEdit node and found that I
 could only make one modification to my object, per PolyEdit Nuke node. For
 example, if I select a group of faces, save the selection and transform
 them, as soon as I make a new selection, the first selection of faces
 returns to its original position. I've found that I can, however, add
 another PolyEdit node after the first one and make a new modification. Is
 that the way it works? I sent an email to the developer with the same
 question. If that is how it works - a single modification per node - then
 it seems really cumbersome. It's quite possible that I'm doing something
 wrong, though, since it's the first time I've used it and there is very
 little documentation on the web site…

 Thanks,
 Rich

Re: [Nuke-users] Point Cloud Generator questions...

[Marten Blumen]

It would be cool if there was a way to convert a mesh to ModelBuilder mesh.
Deke?

I think what I will try next is to see how hard it might be to use my
 original mesh as a reference in ModelBuilder and make a new one from
 scratch. That way, I'll be able to continue to tweak it in ModelBuilder...
