Hi, i’ve got a script with a defocus going from 200 to 0 over say 500 frames, but every 70 frames or so, it seems to pop or glitch between neighbouring frames and not continue to decrease in value smoothly. Any ideas? Thanks. Darren. Darren Coombes - VFX Compositor Check out some of my

Try setting the “method” to full precision”. I have also heard that doing that help with speed as the full precision is threaded better. If that makes sense. Hope this helps, Michael On Jun 2, 2014, at 12:09 AM, Darren Coombes darren.coom...@me.com wrote: Hi, i’ve got a script with a

Some of the guys here ran into this same issue with ZDefocus awhile back when doing a tight rack-focus over a long shot. If what you’re seeing is the same issue, it comes down to Nuke effectively using a Reformat operator internally when it scales the convolve kernel (as the aperture disc

Yeah that seems to describe the problem pretty well, as it seems to pop every 70-80 frames, I tried using a convolve node and flare setup and that seems to be a whole lot smoother also. Darren Coombes - VFX Compositor Check out some of my work… http://vimeo.com/82865049 Mob: +61 418 631 079
