Re: [Nuke-users] Alignment Layout A over B in Nuke

2012-05-24 Thread Jason P Nguyen
how about cc this to the support? :-)

yeah if the intention is to working horizontally like fusion then the
alignment that they have now is fine, but I believe that everyone here is
going down the tree with B pipe, not across with it.

 Do you know of one?

 The ones deke mentioned just stack vertically or horizontally.  That's a
 start but the autoplace function is way more complicated than what those
 are doing.

 really a shame this doesn't work, because it makes it hard on the people
 who inherit rats nest scripts all day and have to sort through them.  I
 love frames scale nodes function and you can snap to grids and things
 like that, but having a working layout tool that could build vertically

 Or maybe no-one asked.

 However there are other versions available.

 The beauty of the way nuke has been developed is the users can create
 new interface tools that are not available and share them. It's then down
 to other uses to download them.

 I have never been satisfied with the way nuke handles selecting above or
 below the selected node so I rolled my own and published it in nukepedia
 recently. Simple bit of code. I find it very useful, others won't care less
 but it's there to share.

 I've asked for a load folder option. Never got it. Wrote my own, and it
 nearly works all the time. (at least my windoze savvy version I just fixed
 and need to publish)

 Once written these tools and out there, does nuke need to rewrite them?
 Only really if they can do it better I guess.

 But thanks to the efforts of frank and nukepedia, these resources are
 there to explore, and use. There are some brilliant tools out there (mine
 border on basic).

 That's a ramble but the point being (not to you but noobies and others)
 if the tool has been written and published, then explore nukepedia/
 creative crash, and grab these tools. Some even work! Don't expect the
 foundry to rewrite them when they work. (my / diogo's bookmark tool demoed
 I believe at a foundry masterclass is afaik not included in nuke but alive
 and well on nukepedia. )

   Hey Deke,

 I did have those scripts.  They are great.  I'm just curious as why the
 foundry hasn't recognize this when everyone is obviously comping vertically
 in the 'down the tree' fashion with B as a backbone.

[Nuke-users] Alignment Layout A over B in Nuke

2012-05-22 Thread Jason P Nguyen
It has always puzzled me when using the alignment's shortcut L would put
your A nodes to the top  B nodes to the left like,
A   A
  B__| __ B__|

The new 'breakout layers' option for psd also align the nodes that way, but
must of the artists, including me working the other way around to keep the
B pipe as a backbone like,

B
  A__|
B
  A__|

So, the question is, isn't the foundry suppose to fix this so that when we
hit L (lower case) it would align B on top  A on the left?


Just curious.

I'm still new to Nuke, but I also find myself using B as a backbone. It makes 
more sense to be adding the A channel on top of B…

Exactly, Same feelings.

I tend not to use layout shortcut for anythign that is connected, as it 
never gives desired results in my experience.
