This tutorial will outline the steps to be taken to make Eclipse your Nuke IDE. Though the Nuke script editor has been improved recently, it's still worth looking for alternatives.

A fairly common question among Nuke users is whether transformation nodes concatenate in Nuke, which nodes do and don't, and how can one tell.  The subject can be particularly confusing for artists who had used Shake before and liked the way it gave a visual clue of nodes that were concatenating.…

This is a reference guide that I wrote in late 2007, and then posted on VFXTalk in about November of that year. As such, it's more based around Nuke 4.8, and I'm sure there's a good amount that probably should be updated.…
