Re: [Nuke-users] Reverse animation curves
There is a reverse curve option in the animation menu and attached is an
adaption I made if your curve is shorter than the shot length.
Might help
add this sort of thing to your menu.py
# ANIMATION ITEMS#
m=nuke.menu('Animation').findItem('Predefined')
m.addCommand('Reverse curve', 'nuke.load(animation_curve_reverse),
animation_curve_reverse()')

Subject: Re: [Nuke-users] Reverse animation curves
If you only need to reverse your stabilization, you may try leaving the Read at
the original speed, then adding a Retime node set to reverse right after your
transform node and rendering that out as your new, reversed and stabilized
plate.
You could also reverese the anim curves using the curve(frame) syntax. You
could create a start_frame and an end_frame knobs to specify the range of the
original anim, and then type this as an expression in your translation and
rotation knobs.
curve(-frame + end_frame+start_frame)

Hi all, is there a way to reverse animation curves for a transform node?
I have an input image which was a little shaky and I had hand stabilized the
footage with a transform node using keyframes in translation and rotation. Now
I
need to reverse the direction of the footage, but also need to reverse the
animation curve to match the footage. Any suggestions?

Re: [Nuke-users] Roto Shapes
Yeah but hold on ... OK you dont have the 'feature' - but with rotoshape the need to have all beziers viewable is diminished as you can have multishapes per node. Which works very well and is very stable. Also you are seeing multiple shapes just in one node. Plus you can copy shapes between nodes if you wish to break them out. With Beziers you had to have that feature for one, you couldn't judge overlaps without it. So if it's reintroduced - it needs to be some sort of option/preference, which you would might find loses all the benefits of having the timeline autoselect keys in context and other context sensitive stuff. (I've just opened 2 beziers and low and behold I have no way of knowing which keyframe belongs to which shape without closing one which then hides the shape and defeats the object.)

Re: [Nuke-users] opposite of $gui
to explain for those that dont know this and possibly setting out my ignorance '!' means 'not' in this case so $gui is a variable (constant?) that basically asks is the gui (graphical interface) being used? if yes then True (or 1) and if no then False (or 0) '!' then turns this on its head and says is the GUI NOT being used, true if yes and false if not So if you are using the gui and have $gui in a disable knob it means turn this off when the gui is on and on in bg rendering. !$gui means turn this on when the gui is on and off in the bg (good for overlay text that you dont want to render) You can use '!' to invert all sorts of user variables.

Re: [Nuke-users] Extract CMY Color id
Yes that would create a semi magenta edge and would be extracted as such I
thought the mattes were cmy though?
I'll try it in a bit and check but it returns the colours split as described
along with overlap issues as you describe because they are in the image.

Re: [Nuke-users] deleting roto keyframes
I might have seen something like this in the dope sheet. Normally a restart of nuke fixes it but it could have been a retime further down confusing things. I'm not sure I've seen it in rotopaint but I have had cases where it won't delete a keyframe. Again I think I either reboot or find another cause. I'll keep an eye out though. Any particular version of nuke and os?

Is anybody else having trouble deleting roto keyframes? Seems like when I need to delete a keyframe in the middle of a sequence, I hit the (minus key) button in the Properties bin and it deletes the LAST keyframe (or more than one!) of the roto sequence, not the one for the frame I'm currently on.

Re: [Nuke-users] Dope Sheet Keyframe
This is what you need for the menu.py
m=nuke.menu('Animation').findItem('Predefined')
m.addCommand('pasteSelected', 'nuke.load(pasteKeyframes), pasteSelected()')
Known issues - when pasting a series of split views earlier than source - you
may have to paste several times for all to appear (no idea why)
Paste after source - works.
select your keyframes - move to start position (keeping selection) -
'pasteSelected'. Should appear.

This is work in progress but allows you to copy and paste keyframes within the
dope sheet and curve editor
I haven't got the menu.py to hand but basically add pasteSelected() to the
animation menu.
select a key, move your position and paste (doesn't work with rotos though)

I guess. But that would mean bringing in everything and that is probably not
what I/you want most of the time. I'd say the more common need would be to go
through a bunch of folders looking for useful plates. So a scan subfolder to
get
a list of files and then get a small preview if you click (that already works
in
the current browser) would be great. I think you get the idea ;-)

Hi,
if you don't mind dropping folders (from total commander, krusader etc.) to
nuke, instead of browsing, you can try this nice drop script, that does load
sequences from subdirectories recursively:

[Nuke-users] Zeroing a camera position

At the moment I am using 4 axis to 1) set back to origin in translate (easy) 2) rotate Z back 3) rotate Y back 4) rotate X back. I then end up with a zero'd camera at that frame so I can add another axis to match the position of another camera. I've tried this in one node but cant do it and tried reversing transform/ rotate orders, but couldn't get it to work (yet) The above works but seems awkward and makes me feel thick.

At the moment I am using 4 axis to 1) set back to origin in translate (easy) 2) rotate Z back 3) rotate Y back 4) rotate X back. I then end up with a zero'd camera at that frame so I can add another axis to match the position of another camera.

On 21 August 2011 12:18, Ken Littleton ken.little...@gmail.com wrote: The leading cause of truncated scripts is saving the script file to a overloaded network server. Either Nuke quits before the script is saved or more likely, Nuke is killed by the user thinking it has hung. This can happen locally as well if the machine is out of memory. I would recommend changing the autosave path to a local path. This will speed up autosaves and act as a local repository in case the server screws you. Another safety net is to have a copy of the script saved to the output folder when submitted to a render farm. I haven't seen the clone issue in quite a while. Take a look at the script with a text editor, if it's truncated, it was a save issue. If it's complete to the Viewer node, then the script has an issue.

AtomKraft is completely self-contained (no need for a separate rendering library) and works with a plain Nuke license (meaning you do not need a NukeX license). When unlicensed it will render with a watermark. All Nuke/NukeX features up to 6.3 are supported (i.e. displacement particles) the only exception is deep compositing (but we are on it and will be soon available). There are also a lot of features and tools unique to AK (I let you dig the included HTML reference documentation). You can freely download 0.9.1 (for all platforms) from our public change log: http://www.jupiter-jazz.com/atomkraft/changelog Let me also emphasize that we are /constantly/ working on improvements and responding to customer demands.

I was working on a set of IPs which were simply swapped out via python - so you would choose an IP from a panel and python would replace the current IP group with a predefined one from the list. It also added a bookmark so you could find it via find bookmarks... ...but then I got too busy. Could be a solution, especially if you could register/ deregister gizmos and add them together (eg, mirror, mirror + guides, guides+grid etc...). Then of course once written, post it on nukepedia ;) Someone? I'm still too busy ;) Howard From: Ivan Busquets ivanbusqu...@gmail.com To: Nuke user discussion nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk Sent: Wednesday, 5 October 2011, 22:30 Subject: Re: [Nuke-users] Transparancy grid You can register multiple viewerProcesses, not IP's. That's why I was recommending to use viewerProcesses for anything that needs to be shared across a show (like a 3D lut, any additional looks, crop guides, etc), and leave the IP free for the artists to use anything they want in there. It's just an opinion, but I find people make a lot more use of the IP if it doesn't interfere with anything else (like, they won't loose any of the show's predefined looks if they switch their IP on and off) Cheers, Ivan On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 12:37 PM, Deke Kincaid dekekinc...@gmail.com wrote: You can define any number of gizmos as separate viewer processes just like srgb/rec709, etc So you can have more then one IP essentially. -deke On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 11:52, Randy Little randyslit...@gmail.com wrote: Yeah I mean it would be nice to have more then one IP.

You can set up Input Process to happen either before or after the viewerProcess, depending on your needs, but you don't need to turn off either of them to see the other. Unless I'm misreading and your show's viewer options are actually set up as an Input Process node. If that's the case, I'd definitely recommend moving that into the viewerProcess dropdown, so the users still get the Input Process slot free to use for anything they need (an overlay, turning on/off an anaglyph view, a certain look, etc). I agree that this seems like a standard option in every other comp package, but having the ability to use Input Process for anything you need makes it a lot more flexible, IMHO.

That expression only works assuming the speed is constant.
If the speed parameter is animated, you would have to find the average speed
up until that point (the integrate from start to current, divided by

Fw: [Nuke-users] Script Errors
Hi Nathan
In the end I removed the offending first node before I pasted the addition and
that stopped the conflict in the first place. I know there are a
number of pasting issues and Gizmos in this version of Nuke.
But thanks its good to know there is a better fix than removing these nodes,
and yes they did have exactly that in them.
Any idea as to why it corrupts in the first place though?
Many thanks

Using a text editor, look for nodes that are explicitly storing a knob
value as something like {rgba.red rgba.green rgba.blue rgba.alpha} and remove
those lines. This will cause those knobs to revert to their default values the
next time the script is loaded, so you may want to keep track of any you
find.
Also make sure there isn’t a line saying add_layer(rgba rgba.red rgba.green
rgba.blue rgba.alpha} or something similar, and double check for both issues
using rgb instead of rgba as the layer name.

Anyone seen this before.
Shuffle6.in2: Can't select
rgba.alpha; it conflicts with other selected channels
Basically the script suddenly starts getting this error, then I can remove
it via text edit, and another node complains.
Happened after I copied and pasted another script section (I think) which I
can sort out, but if anyone knows what can cause this (known bug etc) then
please let me know.

Re: [Nuke-users] ??? redguard1.glow ???
Hi
I'm not sure this gets to the nut of another issue where the channels get
upset,
but on a related gizmo contamination question could anyone confirm if they have
this in Frank's edgeExtend?
Blur {
channels {rgba.red rgba.green rgba.blue rgba.alpha}
instead of
Blur {
channels rgba
which I believe is correct (for Nuke 6.2+ anyway)
I'm mentioning it as if that is the case then it could be that Gizmos with

Yes its getting to the bottom of that issue is what I'm interested in. Nuke shouldn't add these layers when not relevant, so these things cant propagate but is it what causes this... Shuffle49.out: Can't select rgba.alpha; it conflicts with other selected channels If this is from spurious layers being copied then there is an issue in Nuke, covered by that bug number which needs to be taken seriously.

Heh, this issue has got a bit out of hand.. It's a bit untidy, but most of these layers shouldn't cause any problems ...however, adding channels to default layers like rgba can cause problems under certain circumstances. For examples, we had a few renders die with: Shuffle49.out: Can't select rgba.alpha; it conflicts with other selected channels ..and that script had an add_layer that added a bunch of nonsense channels to rgba. The extra channels also caused the Shuffle's in2 to default to a strange channel, and a few other odd things A quick way of checking the gizmos for stray layer names is: for x in nuke.plugins(nuke.ALL, *.gizmo): f = open(x).read() if add_layer in f: print x print \n.join( [ %s % line for line in f.split(\n) if add_layer in line]) print ..although you also need to check regular .nk scripts, ToolSet folders and such On 25/11/11 18:42, Dennis Steinschulte wrote: Hi Group, As promised yesterday, here comes the answer from the support.

As this is something that has been propagated from an external source, there isn't really anything we can suggest apart from removing all Nuke installs, all third party gizmos and clean through old scripts, install a standard Nuke and see if that resolves the issue. You may also want to check any init.py or menu.py references in your .nuke directory to ensure that a python script isn't being run somewhere that causes the issue.

Re: [Nuke-users] Consolidate/use more then one tracker node to drive one cornerpin
Randy was spot on - average the tracks and use the average for each corner.
So if you had 16 trackers 4 for each corner you would average each group and
then apply the result of the tracks to the 'cornerpin to'
with an expression linked to a knob to offset the result should it drift
slightly should you wish.
Here's a tool I made for average tracks and other stuff. Very clunky maths but

Most of the time when I track I rely on more then one tracker node. I might start of with one node that stabilize the hero item I want to track, for instance a phone that I shall do a screen replacement for. Once stabilized I track the corners of it but very often I find that I'd really like to use multiple tracker nodes to track the corners too. It's just a faster way of getting a good result then tweaking one tracker for hours, at least that's my opinion. But the thing is... I can't find a way to use several tracker nodes to drive one corner pin. I need to consolidate all trackers for a certain point/corner and pipe that to that very same point/corner in the cornerpin. Sure, often I just use the stabilize function directly in the tracker node and with that approach I can pipe them all in (...the other way around) for the footage I want cornerpined on top of the plate. But that approach just doesn't really cut it for all scenarios. That stabilize approach doesn't really give me the same result as a cornerpin. And yes, one might say that this is what the planar tracker is for. But the planar tracker just refuse to give me a usable result for certain shots. Where it in other shots nails it perfectly.

Re: [Nuke-users] Redcine-X VS Nuke
1.0 is half float/float even if not clamped ;) for Ron's question (if I read it right) Half float or 16 bit float is a less accurate version of 32 bit float. AFAIK The float being the floating point part of the number. you dont save 123.45678 you save 12345678 with a bit(?) for the position of the floating point. The difference between 16bit (half float) and 32 bit (float) is that with 16bit the length of that number gets truncated at a lesser degree of accuracy compared to 32bit. You could have 10 or 8bit float if you wanted, just not much point for what we do.Similarly you could have 32bit non-float if you really wanted, but again no point in our game afaic - as far as I care ;) Linear is linear, but again you could put any gamma or other curve in there if you wanted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating-point_format Howard From: randyslit...@gmail.com randyslit...@gmail.com To: Nuke user discussion nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk Sent: Tuesday, 20 December 2011, 20:24 Subject: Re: [Nuke-users] Redcine-X VS Nuke 1.0 is half float if it encoded half float and clamp to 1.0 Sent from myTouch 4G - Reply message - From: Deke Kincaid dekekinc...@gmail.com To: Nuke user discussion nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk Subject: [Nuke-users] Redcine-X VS Nuke Date: Tue, Dec 20, 2011 12:13 Last I knew RedcineX only outputs EXR to linear which caps out at 1.0, not half linear float. -deke On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 04:29, Simon Björk si...@stillerstudios.se wrote: I might be misunderstanding you, but why the srgb2lin conversion? RedcineX only outputs linear exrs so as far as I know you shouldn't use any colorspace convertions in Nuke if you chose that path. You can test this if you try different gamma curves in RedcineX and render to EXR. They should all look identical. Regarding my earlier post about half float linear gamma setting in Nuke should match a rendered exr from RedcineX, I just tested this and it doesn't seem to work. I'm pretty sure this worked earlier, but I might be wrong. The linear gamma curve in Nukes R3D importer is an old one and shouldn't be used. Not sure why it's still there. This whole R3D in other applications often causes problems. Same in After Effects. I find that the most reliable solution (still unreliable) is to output from RedcineX. /Simon 2011/12/20 Deke Kincaid dekekinc...@gmail.com I forgot to mention that It all depends what file format your outputting. If your outputting to dpx or tiff then set the decode colorspace/gamma curve the same as RedcineX but in the write node set the colorspace to linear. While working with the R3d though, the viewer will look different from RedcineX unless you set it to linear. After reading back in the dpx/tiff, then you can set the viewer back to srgb and it will look correct. If your outputting to Exr from RedcineX then you need add a colorspace node with in:sRGB and out:Linear (Read node settings all should match RedcineX). While this is technically incorrect but it will give you the equivalent of burning the grade into the EXR. People here are mentioning using Half Linear Float which does properly linearize the curve form the chip when going to EXR. You would need to extract a lut between the linear R3d and your director's color to use as a viewer lut and use that in the write node. -deke On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 00:15, Ron Ganbar ron...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for this Deke.

Re: [Nuke-users] New Nuke training Wiki
The main principle I teach is to understand the tool/ methodologies so that the user can make an intelligent decision based on a full understanding. A list of do's and dont's will always fall foul of exceptions and in the end only leads to parrot fashion learning. An example 'never composite an unpremultiplied image' or 'only composite a premultiplied image' *which ever it was... well 1) you can - a keymix expects an unpremultiplied image. The matte tool is there for that purpose too. Why not anyway? what would be the tell tale signs of compositing an image with premult set wrong? (light edges, dark edges etc..., some of which aren't even premult issues anyway) What if you are applying any filtering to an image (translate of 0.5 pixels for example, let alone blur etc...), what would happen if this wasn't premultiplied? What happens if you colour correct a premultiplied image? What would you look out for? Always check your edges for premult artifacts would be the only guide I would suggest here. The artifacts will always depend on a number of mistakes, subtle or blatant and instilling the need to check this the important thing. Fixing the cause(s) requires an understanding of why. 'Never use explicit paths in read nodes', simply depends on your setup and pipeline. A well set up pipeline/ network and this shouldn't be an issue (hasn't been for me in 15 years) etc...

Re: [Nuke-users] Re: Huge render issues in Nuke
The camera shake has a large bounding box so you are processing more image than necessary - you should crop this down to only what is necessary. Also it does affect the bounding box of the rendered exr. From my tests are you sure its a different frame size per frame or just the bounding box in the exr that you are reading? Also when rendering locally did you have nuke open as well. I think you are running out of memory however can you check your preferences and see if aggressive caching is on (assuming nuke 6.3) I have had similar issues with that on even (bloating renders frame per frame) though in theory I had enough memory to run it. I dont know if this feature actually works and support never came back to me as to why it was failing even though it should work. So if its on turn it off and see what happens.

Re: [Nuke-users] RotoPaint - time offset foreground source
I'm not quite sure I follow you but do you just want to add a frame hold underneath the rotopaint for your last good frame, use a switch to er.. switch to it at the frame after, and apply a tracker to the result. If you use the rotopaintMask knob you can output an alpha into the alpha or any desired channel and then comp this over the source with a merge set to matte (if not premultiplied). Have you also tried applying the tracker to the transform parameters of the stroke(s). Best way is to put the stroke(s) into a new layer inside rotopaint and apply a match move to that layer's transform parameters. This way you can apply one transform to all strokes. Might work.

In order to fix this, I want to create a new bezier clone object that simply takes my painted result from the last frame before the zoom, holds it, and does the scaling/transform/rotate with the tracker. However, I can't seem to make the clone with source set at foreground to work with time offset. No matter what I put into time offset, the result doesn't change. If I change the source to background it works as intended. If I want to do a similar change with another roto node, I have to deal with applying and un-applying the tracks in confusing ways; it'd be great to be able to reference the paint strokes at a previous frame without needing a new node.

Re: [Nuke-users] Re: RotoPaint - time offset foreground source
like he says use bg for that - I discussed this with Foundry during development and they said this could lead to a whole set of feedback issues (non-technical term) so you use another paint node underneath if you need the result of the clone at a different time. So in short yes it is by design that you cant do that.

It's really a shame that Nuke doesn't perform nice with a SSD robust workstation. In Toxik, you simply hit a IR thing on each node you want to be cached, then when you play the comp, if the nodes is already cached it is realtime (with fast SSD of course), if not it cache it and next time it is realtime. Simple hit IR on output node, play once (it will use ever cached parts of the comp), and then you are realtime. If it's good, render it in a few seconds as it recalculate nothing. So simple and fast it isn't even funny. I think that TheFoundry could have a look at how Toxik caching works, both behind the hood and setting it for the artist to rethink Nuke caching. Performance is really problematic. Please be sure I don't want to start any Toxik vs Nuke thingy, Nuke is just amazing for a lot of things, but Toxik also have its strengh and performance is something that could be greatly enhanced in Nuke. I will continue investigating this, so if anyone have insight, tips etc please post them, I will read and test all I can.

Re: [Nuke-users] RotoPaint Speed Concerns
I've never really had problems with rotos - only paint. Never noticed any issues with layers either. Flame is raster paint isn't it? I have seen other peoples scripts slow down so maybe its down to the pre-rendering I do, and I never apply any retiming after unless its a frame hold or something similar. That is I avoid anything that requires blending paint strokes together from different frames. This sort of paint node has always been slow for me compared to raster paint solutions, but I find the advantages far out weigh the clunkiness. All that said anything to speed up paint will be welcome.

It was SO FAST it might as well been inline. Even found my self using the master Keyer from time to time for same reason. Just seems like Nuke is a bit of a dawg on a lot of things.

I am sure soon that will change though. I only say this all because I want nuke to be faster but it seems since there is liittle to really challenge Nuke that things start to stagnate because big shops just make their own tools and indie shops usually don't' have the capability. but if things keep going the way they are it will pretty much be Nuke or After effects(eww) soon.

Re: [Nuke-users] Gathering roto values to drive a tracker
You can get the position of the point through the curve editor - to get the offset subtract the reference value. If you do this with 2 points then with clever maths that someone else can point you to you'd get the rotation. How you get rotation values from one point I dont know??

Re: [Nuke-users] Re: concatenation in nuke
TransformMasked doesn't concatenate Also the last node in line determines the filter type - not sure which how motion blur is determined though. The visual clue is the image is too soft ;) Howard From: mattdleonard nuke-users-re...@thefoundry.co.uk To: nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk Sent: Thursday, 8 March 2012, 19:53 Subject: [Nuke-users] Re: concatenation in nuke Hiya, Transform nodes in Nuke that concatenate include: • Transform • TransformMasked • CameraShake • Reformat • CornerPin • Tracker • Stabilize • Reconcile3D • Card3D • Transform3D (hidden under Other / T) • MotionBlur2D (will receive a concatenated Transform, but doesn't pass it on) However some of the Transform nodes do not concatenate so make sure they aren’t interspersed with those nodes that do. The non-concatenating Transform nodes are: • Mirror • Position • TVIscale • GridWarp • SplineWarp • Crop • PlanarTracker (though the PlanarTracker Corner Pin exports will concatenate) Concatenation also affects the filtering hit you get when Transforming an image. The way Nuke handles this with multiple concatenated Transforms is to only apply one filter hit based on the settings of the final Transform node. The other Transform nodes’ filters are ignored. Although the Nuke documents currently state that Colour nodes concatenate (page 93, Nuke 6.3v6) they in fact don't. This is because, as already said above, Nuke is 32bit float (integer: 4,294,967,296 colours per channel = 80 octillion colours (80x10²⁸)) and doesn’t need too.

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.

Re: Re: [Nuke-users] Analyze Brightness in a Region of Pixels to drive Grade Node
Similar topic... FWIW You can also use a similar technique to remove camera dirt etc, which is behind the sensorClean tool (after a similar discussion a few years ago) http://www.nukepedia.com/gizmos/gizmo-downloads/filter/sensorclean/ In this case you have a dirty held frame, a cleaned version of the same held frame and the image to clean. It divides the dirty and clean reference frames which is the case of sensor dirt, gives a white frame with a superbright spot where the dirt was. the result is then multiplied on the image to clean, and removes the dirt spots, depending on how well you painted the clean reference. Not for all shots but works on most (90% I'd say).

I messed around with the curve tool with something like this CurveTool1.intensitydata.r/CurveTool1.intensitydata.r(start_frame)(in my case 1) and put in the gain of the grade node. But because the shadows are wandering and do not darken the picture uniformally, I had no luck with that. So I tried the tip by James Rowell which works absolutely magnificent because you can adjust the crop according to the area to be covered and minor local changes are reflected as well depending on the strength of the blur applied to the crop. You can even mix different area with aligning several crops together I found out. Of course it still needed fine tuning because shadows do not only darken certain areas but also make them more blue (=cooler)... Thanks a lot! Paul, Vienna 2012/5/12 Eetu Martola e...@undo.fi From : James Rowell Subject : Re: [Nuke-users] Analyze Brightness in a Region of Pixels to drive Grade Node Hi Paul, There may be a tool that already does what I'm about to describe, but I've done something like what (I think) you want in the past by cropping to the small area that you want to analyse then put a sufficient blur on that small area to smooth it all out, then reformat the small crop up to a full size image. Then, take a frameHold on that image on some reference frame, then divide the one by the other and you now have a full frame image that you can use to multiply against anything else to CC it in a way that will mimic the frame by frame difference of your little sampled area over the course of the shot, so you can (for example) reproduce flickering, or even remove flickering if you flip the order of the inputs on the divide. Anyway, this may give you other ideas too.

As they move they make shadows on the pavement. The foreground is moving spider that was filmed on the same pavement later on. Now I want the brightness of my foreground to change exactly like the shadows of the moving feet change the brightness of the pavement in the background. Long time ago, there was a node in Shake called AnalysePixel or something like that which could read out a certain area of pixel over the whole length of a shot. With this data one could drive the ColorCorrect-node to automatically change the the brightness or any other value. I used it once to match a non-flickering shot to a flickering one (NOT FLICKER REMOVAL!!!). I found nothing similar in Nuke except the Spotmeter-function in the Viewer. But I found no hint to read its values and use it in an expression. I need something to constantly analyze the brightness over a given range of frames in a certain region of pixels and to drive a Grade or ColorCorrect-Node with this values via an expression. Does anyone have any hints on this? I'm using Nuke 6.2v1.

Re: [Nuke-users] Re: 3D Matte Painting - Geometry Creation (inside/outsideNuke?)
Hi In this case, the concept was designed through several iterations by dmp. Once director approved, then geometry was created based on the dmp. The dmp was then retouched to match the new geometry. Projection was sorted by the TD so I can#39;t say how complex that part was but only that he got it right from a few cameras. All fg buildings and going back 4-5 rows are all individually projected and then cards used for the more distant elements. All in nuke. Rendered with 2 cameras through scan line renderers for stereo. Then position and normals used to create extra lighting passes to relight further the result and depth used for fogging. In addition some cg elements added in fg and cards placed by hand in nuke to add smoke to 200 chimneys, using the black matte material( name?) to hold out the smoke from the geo. ie put it between the buildings. Few birds thrown in for good measure.
