Stamps Icon apDespill v2.0 is a blinkscript despiller and chroma keyer capable of picking a specific tone and with image-based input options for most of the controls. v2.0 lets you choose between a despilling and keying algorithm, bringing new options such as turning the despill into a color or using it as an iKeylight.

apDespill v2.0

If you just want a basic despill, its default values should already be enough and the tool will avoid any extra calculations.

v2.0 includes a new 'absolute' mode which lets you basically perform a key, or do a 'despill to color' operation. Also, the despill color, respill color and limit can now be plugged as image inputs if you wish, letting you perform a fully image-based despill or key, sort of iKeylight. Additionally, it allows you to perform the despill under a colorspace sandwich, for the artists who prefer to loop through different colorspaces in order to find one that works. Thanks to Tony Lyons the best feedback!

Main features

Image-based inputs
Image-based inputs let you use a single apDespill node for performing a different operation for every pixel of the image.

Absolute mode
With the new absolute mode you can change the despill algorithm (which removes the excess of a primary colour) for a chroma keying algorithm (which removes all of the presence of a specific tone), allowing for a despill-to-color operation or even using the tool for chroma keying (image based!).

Specific tone despilling
Since v1.0, the main distinct feature of apDespill is the possibility to despill a specific tone picked from the image, not being limited to pure red green or blue. This is internally performed via hue rotations.


apDespill is also part of Nuke Survival Toolkit: https://github.com/CreativeLyons/NukeSurvivalToolkit_publicRelease

Hey Adrian ! I didn't have the time to thank for this amazing despill that you've done !

I've been using it as a standard for my despills but sometimes I had kernel issues.
I try to grab the errors but its only the red warning of the kernel and then nuke crashed I don't know if may be is nuke 10 the issue but I wonder if you know if I'm not setting it properly.

big thanks for the tool ! !

Really love this gizmo, but in the recent version of nuke it sadly doesn't seem to work with the gpu

Can confirm this. Not working properly in 12.1 . Would love an update :)

Thanks for continuing to develop it. I'm excited to keep using your tools.

This is now updated! Took some time :lol:
Including tutorial video too.

Hi Adrian the tool is nice but it keeps crashing my renders all the time after few frames .... I am using Nuke 13 so there might be a problem with stability in this version

Hi Filip, could you check if it's throwing any errors?

llove the tool! Trying out V2 in Nuke 10.0v4 and it gives me this error
AddRGBA_spill.format_size: no such knob
AddRGBA_spill.true: no such knob
AddRGBA_color.format_size: no such knob
AddRGBA_color.true: no such knob

A very useful kit!
Ive included it in my keying workflow.

Only in big comps u cant render it cause the blink cash gets bigger and bigger untill nuke crashes or stops rendering.
And sometimes I get a few NaN pixels.

Thanks for sharing this tool Adrian. I can't live without this but as other mentions it crashes nuke while rendering.

Some times after rendering 20 frames the remaining time goes from 8 minutes to 1 hour.
I have to stop the render, restart nuke, resume the render and then it gets fast again. But after 20 more frames I have to repeat this.

Is there anything I could try?

Very good tool, but it seems the Colorspace sandwich is broken. A hardwired expression is causing jobs on our farm to fail. We made a local fix for the latest NSTK, flagging now for potential future releases. Replace Colorspace5 with Colorspace1.

Colorspace {
channels {{{parent.Colorspace5.channels}}}
.
.
.
name Colorspace2

Hi! I've been having an issue...

When plugged into some footage it displays an error:

"apDespill.Shuf fle1: 'Shuffle2': unknown command.
This is most likely from a corrupt .nk file, or from a missing or unlicensed plugin. Can't render from that node. "

I'm using NukeX 10.5v4.

Any help will be appreciated.
