This might be too obvious for you, but in case it helps others, here's an expression to set a value (in this case colour) to be .2 when using the GUI, and .8 when not.
I sometimes use this sort of thing to set motion blur in scanline renders (so it's fast in gui, but renders with motion blur). You have to watch out, because if you render a frame from the gui, gui is still set at 1 (unlike in Shake which would set a separate process and render with gui 0). Hope it helps (someone!) set cut_paste_input [stack 0] version 6.1 v2 Constant { inputs 0 channels rgb color {{"\$gui?.2:.8"}} name Constant6 selected true xpos -1800 ypos 15726 } ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean Danischevsky" <sdani...@framestore.com> To: "Nuke user discussion" <nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk> Sent: Friday, 11 March, 2011 7:03:31 PM Subject: Re: [Nuke-users] opposite of $gui Hmmm... what a metaphysical question! Not sure quite what you mean, but if you're using the gui, then $gui = 1, so the opposite (not using gui) is 1-$gui Sean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Little" <randyslit...@gmail.com> To: "Nuke user discussion" <nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk> Sent: Friday, 11 March, 2011 6:56:49 PM Subject: [Nuke-users] opposite of $gui Is there an opposite of using $gui?
