... standard way to pack translate/rotate/scale values, and makes the task of manipulating 3d space quick and straightforward. What we need is a transformation matrix node we can apply to our P pass, so we can do the full translate/rotate/scale change in one hit. Ivan Busquets has provided exactly that! Chances are your workplace has already installed ...

4. OPERATORS (nodes) In this last part of the Shake to Nuke transition, I'll go through the different categories of nodes in Nuke, and outline some of the biggest differences you may find coming from Shake. For a full description of the available operators/nodes available in Nuke, the user manual is the best reference available. If you come from ...

Scope:There seems to be no Knob python method to get the context of a specific index inside a knob with multiple values (like an XYZ_Knob).nuke.thisKnob() would get you the knob something is executed from, but not the index within the knob.If, for example, you call a command in the Animation menu by right clicking on translate.y, ...

Timing changes can be quite a headache in most compositing packages.Here's a few cases where the use of expressions can be of great help when dealing with time modifiers (frame holds, time offsets, time warps…) 1- Freezing an animation to a certain frame (FrameHold)The syntax curve(frame) is one of the simplest and yet most useful ways to handle ...

Changing a piece of software you work with on a daily basis can be a frustrating experience at first. If you come from a Shake background and have decided it's time to dive into Nuke, here's a small guide that will hopefully help you quickly get past some of the differences between the two softwares, and start benefiting from the multiple advantages ...

2. Color management in Nuke In compositing, we often need to combine multiple elements from different sources (film scans, digital photographs, CG renders, digital video…). It is likely that we'll need to use materials that are encoded in different colorspaces, so it is vital that we have the means to bring them all into the same colorspace so ...

3. Data flow Visual indicators: Both Shake and Nuke are node-based compositing packages, so if you're used to working with Shake, you won't have too much trouble building and interpreting a script in Nuke. However, Nuke does provide a few more visual cues than Shake as to what's happening on each node. Here's a sample of the different node ...

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. So, hopefully, the following guide will shed ...
