[Nuke-users] Autoload both eyes from stereo file sequences?

2011-10-24 Thread VikD
Hi, is there way to automatically load both left and right stereo file sequences when they are in the same folder instead of manually changing filename later in reader, for example change myfilename.l.exr to myfilename.%v.exr ? ___ Nuke-users

I don't believe that the file browser supports the detection of stereo sequences. You could probably write your own file browser to do this (I know that this has been done in some places), but as far as I know, this isn't a built-in option. Hugh Macdonald nvizible – VISUAL EFFECTS

Good call Nando, the Card3D node can be used this way. Although it does give you skewXYZ params, they are normalized. Instead, it's probably easier to use the local matrix which should give you a 1:1 mapping for skew. Just make sure to set the z translation value in the matrix to -1. The

Hi Jean-Luc, you either have to set the Read nodes you want to localise to cache locally = always or set the local file auto-cache path in the preferences to the root directory shared by all file paths you want to localise (i.e. '/server/shows/' ). In the latter case the Read nodes' set to

Ok got it! I thought the localising process was automatic... I didn't realise you had to manually make it cache... So what happens when the files are marked always and you're finished with your shot. Do you have to manually un-cache the files too? There's no size limit on the localise folder so I

yes, I guess it's a good idea to manually remove the cache files when done. Don't think there is a mechanism built in for that (which would be a nice option though to keep your disk tidy) On Oct 25, 2011, at 12:45 PM, jean-luc wrote: Ok got it! I thought the localising process was

Only works on 8bit psd files and layer methods like softlight, screen, hardlight...etc. and also layer masks do not transfer over. There are work arounds for both of those issues but not the fact that you'll have to down the image color to 8bit. Be a nice feature if foundry could add a 16bit psd

when it loads you can have the flattened version or you can choose what layer the read uses. To do multi layer you have to have a read for each layer you want to work on. (well or a shuffle I guess) Randy S. Little http://www.rslittle.com On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 20:42, Darren Coombes
