🥣 spillSoup - Seamless, artist friendly spill control

Contributed by TheoGrez

spillSoup is a compact, non‑destructive spill tool (gizmo) for Nuke. It’s designed to be comprehensive (good for despill, keying support, and gentle color pushes) while staying lightweight and edge‑friendly. Use it to: Remove screen‑color spill cleanly (despill). Re‑introduce just enough neutralized luminance after despill to avoid dull patches. Create an isolated spill matte you can reuse (e.g., for alpha generation or as a comp mask). Minimize edge artifacts by steering the detector with Threshold and Influence.

Set Frame As

Contributed by MinnazRehman

SetFrameAs.py is a Nuke Python script that provides a user-friendly modal dialog to set the "start at" frame for selected Read Nodes. Accessible via Custom Menu, it allows users to input a custom frame number, defaulting to the project's first frame. The script checks for valid Read nodes and their required knobs (frame_mode and frame), applying the specified frame value if the user confirms via the "OK" button. Error messages are displayed for invalid selections or missing knobs. This tool streamlines frame adjustments for Read nodes, enhancing workflow efficiency in Nuke's GUI environment.
