A cross-platform Python script to collect and relink scenes and assets.

A cross-platform Python script to collect and relink scenes and assets. Supports globbing (###, %04d type variables) and is smart enough not to collect duplicate read nodes for time savings. It also won't clobber assets that have the same name but different source folder (i.e.: /render/diffuse/image.exr and /render/specular/image.exr). To install in your Nuke menu bar, put this script in your script folder and then add this to the end of your Nuke menu.py file:

import nukecollect
ref = menubar.addMenu('Nuke Collect')
ref.addCommand('Nuke Collect', 'nukecollect.nukecollect()')

Hi Dave,

I installed it this morning. It works, but there is an issue on mac where it doesn't copy to the specified folder.

Great stuff

Should I install it in V10?

Hey Dave, I'm excited because this is just what I need but unfortunately it failed my first test! Overall this is pretty cool but the script missed collecting an image sequence. This is on Windows 7, Nuke X 9.0v6

Doesn't work here either. I've tested on 3 imported single images (Nuke 9 and 10), just merged together. It says there are dead links and even though I give it a path it generates a subfolder in the original folder and tries to collect there (but doesn't copy the images).

Does anybody have a working alternative?

I ended up making my own application for handling this. It is multi-threaded and pretty fast/reliable but unfortunately it's not 100% complete yet. If you are familiar with Python and PyQt I would be happy to send you what I've got so far! The collect functionality works quite well, you'll just have to play around a bit with the code to get it to work for you (I have a pretty specific workflow for my needs)

Wow, that's very generous of you Spencer, thank you so much. I'm just getting started with Python so I think I'm not ready yet ;) I'll get back to you in two or three months, if that's ok ;) Or maybe by this time you'll develop the tool so much that it will end up here, on Nukepedia? Congratulations on finding your custom solution and good luck! :)

No problem, I like when people get use out of my code! I might have some dev time tomorrow morning, in which case I'll see if I can get something together to post up on nukepedia. I need to crack that program back open anyway for some big archives I need to do (servers getting full...)

Well, I found that the old one is still working:
collectFiles v1.2
It's on Nukepedia. I tried several others but there were problems.

Check the comments section for easier instalation and relative paths tip ;)

By the way, I still cannot find a good relative paths solution. Any tips? In Houdini or After Effects the project always works, no matter how you move it (with the files). In nuke I have to add expression to EVERY read and write node. This is a bit troublesome. I found scripts for selecting and replacing the path but only in the Read nodes. Write nodes are still a pain.

Thanks for any tips ;)

Working on development today! Hopefully can get something final soon...

Actually I've been meaning to play around with relative paths. Check the Nuke User Guide for "project directory" and you'll find what you're looking for ;) If you hit "S" over the nodegraph you'll get your project settings and it's right there.

Great. Hope you fixed it fully :) even if it's not finalized, can you please share your script? I'm also going to develop a script to archive nuke script. It will greatly help. Thank you very much,

Sorry for the delay on this, I have been working on it in between renders and needless to say that isn't very productive... I've been focusing on some After Effects functions lately but I'm just in beta testing on that, so hopefully I'm done soon and can get back to Nuke. I'll definitely post something up soon!

I'm not sure what issue you're having in regards to relative paths. The script you referenced here "CollectFiles v1.2" converts all your read nodes to relative paths automatically as seen here "[file dirname [value root.name]]/foo tage/". I've been using this script for over 5 years and it works well although there is one bug it has that has never been resolved and that is if you have any groups with read nodes in them then none of those sequences will be copied. The work around is to select all groups and expand them before you collect. Hope this helps.

Just to update the initial install instructions
I found that they didn't work on my Mac with V12.5 (don't know if this was an issue before this)

However when I modified the script for the menu.py file to be the following everything worked fine.

import NukeCollect
ref = menubar.addMenu ('Nuke Collect')
ref.addCommand('Nuke Collect', 'NukeCollect.collectThisComp()')

Hopefully this will save someone having to dig around if they don't know python very well.

the python 3 print function syntax needs to get updated on line 156 "print(line)"
