[Nuke-users] Invisibility Effect - Bilbo / Frodo
Hi - Does anyone know how this effect was produced? The technique employed? Specifically the blowing edges on the image - that dissipate - as Frodo or Bilbo wear the ring? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzZp0fVTF0k Trying to find old copies of cinefx to find it out..

Bezier
How interesting! You are indeed correct. It appears that there is a
hidden option where if you have the bezier tool selected and hit v
once, instead of switching to the cusped bezier tool as it did
before, now a couple of options appear on the toolbar for width,
falloff, and end type (rounded or square).
If you draw the shape and leave it open, and hit q, or enter, the
shape is an open spline and outputs color.
I think this would be less confusing if there was a dedicated tool
for it, instead of it being hidden, but I will take what I can get!
Rotoing hair just got a whole lot easier.
I will forward this on to support. Thanks for the information Sean!

Hi Jed,
You're not crazy :) , that's an early prototype of the open splines
(from quite a long time ago) which we had hoped to get in for Nuke
8.0v1 but had to put the development aside until a future v-release.
How you got it to appear is another question, it shouldn't be
anywhere in the build, if you ever figure out the repro steps can
you please send them to the support team (supp...@thrfoundry.co.uk

have a look our side too to see if we can track down the cause.
As a side note, open splines are high on our agenda, so hopefully
you won't have to wait too much longer!
Thanks for letting us know.

I was just playing around in Nuke 8.0v1. I am not sure how I did it
but I created a Bezier shape which was named OpenSpline1. It seems
to have different controls than a standard Bezier shape. (See
attached screenshot). I can't seem to re-create it.
The green handle seems to adjust the size of the stroke at that
point, and purple seems to adjust the feather. I can't get it to
output any color data though.
I thought for a moment that I had missed a feature announcement of
open spline support in Nuke 8 at long last, but a search through
the documentation reveals no mention of it.
When this shape is pasted into Nuke 7, it is just an un-closed
bezier shape with no special handles.
Anyone have any more details? I have attached the roto node so you
all can verify that I'm not crazy.
