-Written by Paul Molodowitch!  Thanks man! 
Note: The previous Luma menu.py should be overwritten with this new one.

In the previous version of this, Gizmos would not load in the command line version of Nuke.  The fix was to use init .py.   Thanks again Paul!

 

OS X and Linux Easy install instructions.

1. Copy the menu.py and init.py into your ".nuke" folder. If these files already exist, merge the contents of the two in a text editor.

2. Copy the directories within the Gizmos folder directly into your ".nuke" folder

3. Open Nuke

OR If you want to put the gizmos into a subdirectory

1. Copy the contents of the zip folder into your .nuke directory.  If init.py and menu.py files already exist, merge the contents of the two in a text editor.

 2. Open init.py and add a "CUSTOM_GIZMO_LOCATION" path. Replace "" with your login name.

r'/users//.nuke/Gizmos'

 3. Save file and open Nuke.

this is very neat :)

just be aware that if you do this you still need to add the plugin paths to init.py as well, or they won't be picked up by nuke when it's run for a command line render. so scripts created in the GUI might have nodes which the render farm can't find!

Is there any way to make the CUSTOM_GIZMO_LOCATION path cross platform to work on both windows and Mac?

I accidentally replaced the files and now it doesn't work. Is there something I can change in the python files so that they are default? (Please answer soon, I can't use Nuke until it is fixed.)

I am not sure what your issue is exactly.. You can email gizmos@luma-pictures.com and we can try to figure out what is going on.
