Re: [Nuke-users] Roto - Copy values over animation
Heavy roto work demands ctrl+C go back to it's former function of copying point values. Replacing the Jack with a bounding box was another ... poor ... move on Foundry's part.

Deke Kincaid wrote: What is wrong with the bounding box? At best the bounding box is visual clutter and poor interface design, hindering more than it helps with precision roto. The jack was an innovative interface design and being inside the roto shape did not visually interfere with bezier edges when it comes to precise positioning. The simplicity and eleagance of the jack's controls are sublime grace compared to the bounding box's... awkward, clunky, outmoded design ethos. Just select on the transform tab and you get the OSC like the old b Thanks for the tip, but it's not quite the same. One instantly noticeable difference: Ctrl drag on the jack's handle and you rotate the jack relative to the shape (very useful). Do the same on the transform tab version as you suggest and you skew the bezier shape. If you want to skew the Jack bezier, you shift drag on any of the shorter handles. To rotate the bounding box relative to the shape (for scaling purposes for example) you have to rotate the shape to the angle you want, deselect and reselect, then scale as needed. Bounding box loses on all fronts. Which is not to say that, overall, the new paint roto node is not better than olden days. It is, overall, better. However the loss of the Jack is too significant to ignore. -deke On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 15:13, Tom Piedmont t...@luma-pictures.com wrote: Heavy roto work demands ctrl+C go back to it's former function of copying point values.

Re: [Nuke-users] Cancel Nuke processing with keyboard?
Considering how fast the tracker *can* fly off into the vast beyond -and keep on going, it has always needed far greater stopping power, however it is implemented. A shortcut key such as escape is simply too obvious an option. Neverminding that the progress bar randomly chooses a different corner of the screen each time it's activated so you can't even dependably look in the same place to stop the bugger. Love it otherwise. Diogo Girondi wrote: Deke is right. This delay was implemented to prevent Nuke from opening a progress bar every time a process takes longer than a few milliseconds or something. Before this change the progress bar was constantly popping for people that didn't had the progress bar panel docked which was too annoying. But I think that in the Tracker's case this should be an exception and it should show up instantly in order to allow you to change your mind and cancel it without delay. In another words I think that any progress bar that is the fruit of a request should have a delay, but the ones that are fruit of a a user pressing a execute button should show up instantly. -diogo On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 10:41 PM, Deke Kincaid dekekinc...@gmail.com mailto:dekekinc...@gmail.com wrote: The delay is on purpose. -deke On Mar 8, 2011, at 17:28, Ben Dickson ben.dick...@rsp.com.au mailto:ben.dick...@rsp.com.au wrote: Also even if you don't dock the panel, I've found it can take a few seconds before the progress panel appears, which is occasionally too slow to to stop the tracker in time..
