[Nuke-users] Transparancy grid
Hi. Is there a way to view the alpha as a transparancy grid? Like AE or Fusion. Thanks ___ Nuke-users mailing list Nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk, http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users

Make a checkerboard and put everything over it? Wrap it up in a group and use it as VIEWER_INPUT.

You can make the viewer go through any gizmo/group. Just take the example Ron gave and register it as a viewer process. -deke On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 06:14, Ron Ganbar ron...@gmail.com wrote: Make a checkerboard and put everything over it?

Re: [Nuke-users] Transparancy grid
Ron what I am saying is that I wouldn't want to be messing around with a SHOW template viewer process that may have all kinds of hooks inside of it. It would be nice if nuke could show Alpha as Transparent. I always feel like Nukes viewer is just antique even compared to what was capable in Shake 2. ( I know its way faster but the viewer options are so limited) LIke to do what you are saying in an environment where its safe to do so would also turn on/off all your other view processes. Then you have to have the group open somewhere and go hunt for it just to toggle alpha transparency on and off.Does it work? Sure. Does it seem like almost every other compositing program dating back to at least combustion and maybe even composite had or has this feature? Yes.is it a killer? No. It sure would be nice though to have more of those viewer overlays that shake had though. Randy S.

Re: [Nuke-users] Transparancy grid
If your show is using viewerProcess, then you still have the old Input Process for yourself, right? 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.

Perhaps it's possible by using a switch node as the output of your IP group. Never tried it my self but it could work.

Re: [Nuke-users] Transparancy grid
if you feel adventurous you could create an IP gizmo/group that has nothing in it but creates precomp nodes on creation that are filled based on a specific folder/naming convention. This way you could use an arbitrary amount of external scripts that follow facility/show/user precedence. would be an interesting mini project.

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.

Re: [Nuke-users] Transparancy grid

Re: [Nuke-users] Transparancy grid
I am all for Ivans methodology.viewer process for show level and IP for artist. On most shows artist can't add to the viewer processes so some one can easily change them. Not a scripter but a nice menu that could hold these ip gizmos and you would just select them. Menu part I know is easy enough but can an VIEWER_INPUT groups internals be swapped like howard was just mentioning? Can that menu be easly populated with artist created Gizmo's Randy S.
