Re: [Nuke-users] Tiff metadata / tags

I don't know how useful or even smart would be to rely on image data to debug renders where the problem is probably the actual image. You may end up with frames where not even a single pixel is written and yet the file is there. Best thing to do is use a decent render manager that provides you

Yes, these are all pretty clever ideas! As for the logs, uh, no. Succesfully completing jobs don't leave a trail, unless you ask to keep the log before rendering. At least that's for logs I can get at. So that frame that took an hour still rendered successfully

Re: [Nuke-users] Tiff metadata / tags

2013-01-30 Thread Diogo Girondi
You're right about the logs on successfully rendered files, but at least in Qube (and most render managers that I know of) you still have access to which node rendered which frame. So a bit of digging around should suffice even if the manager flags that frame as successful. Metadata for sure is

I know it will sound inappropriate and semi-arrogant (and of course it IS after all an issue in Nuke that it has no support for TIFF metadata, yes) but just to recap: - you are having sour frames in your render - the likely problem is some machine which has corrupt RAM sticks (we've had this)

while i appreciate everone's help, you pegged it: your response is sort of inappropriate and semi-arrogant. This thread concerns accessing a basic function that I figured nuke was capable of: metadata/tagging in a tiff format. the reasons are really

[Nuke-users] Trying to grain CG background to match live plate

2013-01-30 Thread Todd Groves
Hey guys, I've been compositing CG backgrounds with green screen live plates. I've attached a screenshot of one of the working scripts, where the grain on the CG background is working fine. For some reason, this technique isn't working anymore even though it's working on other scripts. A

You probably have Apply only through alpha turned on in the grain node and then have no alpha coming through. That's the first thing I'd check. Sent from my iPhone On Jan 30, 2013, at 9:54 AM, Todd Groves t...@nulightfx.com wrote: Sorry guys, I forgot to add the screen shot….here it is…..

The default for the grain node is to apply only through the incoming alpha. Check your alpha and make sure it's correct? On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 1:03 PM, Joe Laude loudn...@gmail.com wrote: You probably have Apply only through alpha turned on in the grain node and then have no alpha coming

Now, is there a way to get the name of a particular tracker in the new tracker node without parsing the node out? I'm guessing again that there is no built in function for this. On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 11:30 PM, John Mangia j...@johnmangia.com wrote: This is definitely helpful, though it would
