NukeFXSExporter v2.0

This script will export Nuke shapes to a Silhouette Roto and Paint shape format .fxs file.
That allows a Mocha to Silhouette shape export using Nuke.

SUPPORTED FEATURES:

 

Version 2.0: initial release Aug 5th 2013

 

This version introduces Shapes and Layers transforms exports: meaning 'tracking data (point/cpin)' export and avoiding baking the keyframes everywhere.

 

• Shape Position/Animation
• Shape Opacity (Linear/Constant keyframes)
• Shape Motion Blur
• Shape Overlay Color
• Shape Blending Modes
• Shape Inverted attribute
• Shape Open/Closed
• Delete repeated baked keyframes when possible
• Layer/Shape Transforms (all transforms, including 'extra matrix')
• Layer nesting

 

 COMPATIBILITY

 

Nukev7 and up

 

 KNOW LIMITATIONS

 

• Nuke animation curves are more complex than Silhouette ones, that will result in more keyframes depending on the keyframe interpolation
• B-spline Tension not supported yet
• Feather not supported
• Rectangles are exported incorrectly (swapped tangents). > Workaround: smooth and cusp the points back, it will fix the tangents.
• For heavy scenes, the script might take a while to give the task feedback, be patient.

 

 USAGE

 

Select the Roto or Rotopaint node and run the script from the Script Editor. You can set a the default folder/file path on init.py or menu.py with the code below:

 

os.environ['FXSEXPORTPATH'] = '/path/to/your/fxsfile.fxs'

 

Optionally you can use the provided 'menu.py' file to get a Toolbar item with the script.

 

 BUG REPORT

 

Send me (contact info at  http://boundaryvfx.com/tools) the Nuke Console error message and your Roto/Rotopaint node for troubleshooting.

 

 Thanks

 

Kudos to the Silhouette team: Paul Miller and Perry Kivolowitz that helped me with important info.
