Re: [Nuke-users] Nuke to Shake/Fusion roto

[Nuke-users] Write node - TCL directory navigation question
Hi, Does anyone know how to indicate a relative directory change in TCL? In a Write node, I'd like to designate the directory to write files to that is parallel to the one the script is in. I'm using this typical form to get the current script directory: [file dirname [file tail [value root.name]]] Then, I'd like to do the equivalent of 'cd ../different_dir'. So, I'd like to have a (hopefully short) chunk of code that would a) grab the script's current directory, b) navigate up one directory and c) indicate the parallel directory to write the files to. Should be easy - I just don't know if it's possible with TCL or if I have to combine some Python in there... Thanks for any help!

For future reference... Turns out this was actually something else.. Seems like using multiple scene nodes in sequence was causing the points to be culled.. If you refer to the DAG screen shot there are 2 setups, one with a series of transformGeo nodes and scene nodes being used in sequence to double the point coulds, 2,4,8 etc, and another with many Transform Geo nodes and a single Scene node 1,2,3,4 etc. DAG screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3656251/rendermanCullExample_v001.jpg Both layouts produce identical output, and render the identically in the ScanlineRenderer, but via Renderman each additional Scene node causes more points to be culled.. -Alex On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 12:38 PM, Alex - alex...@gmail.com wrote: Hey guys... I'm having some issues rendering point clouds using the PrmanRender node. Basically im using the PositionToPoints - ParticleEmitter hack to render a bunch of little objects that I dont want to use real geo for.. Using the PrmanRender node I can render 1 or 2 instances perfectly, but once I jump to 3 or more Renderman starts to randomly cull points from my scene, the Scanline renderer will keep rendering all the points no matter how many I throw at it, but Renderman culls more and more as I throw more at it.. Does anyone know if the Nuke to Renderman exporter being used by the PrmanRender node has some sort of preset upper limit or particle count?

Re: [Nuke-users] Write node - TCL directory navigation question
Yes - I've used that as well, the only problem is it becomes less clear when you need to go up several directories for example, which is why I use this method (for proxy generation in this case). But as you say it will not evaluate in the file path (though does show you correctly in the browser section).

Maybe it does render to the correct place when actually processing a render. I was only looking at what it evaluated to and it was just showing me the /../ in the path and not the actual evaluated path - where it was going to go. Nathan's suggestion of adding another enclosing dirname did the trick for what I needed: [file dirname [file dirname [value root.name]]] Thanks for the help!

In a Write node, I'd like to designate the directory to write files to that is parallel to the one the script is in. I'm using this typical form to get the current script directory: [file dirname [file tail [value root.name]]] Then, I'd like to do the equivalent of 'cd ../different_dir'. So, I'd like to have a (hopefully short) chunk of code that would a) grab the script's current directory, b) navigate up one directory and c) indicate the parallel directory to write the files to. Should be easy - I just don't know if it's possible with TCL or if I have to combine some Python in there... Thanks for any help!
