Fast approximation of the Median usable on large areas
Median_AB_blinkscript_v01
Updated: 2 October 2020
Author: ploraco
Compatible Nuke versions: 10.0 or later
Compatibility:
MEDIAN Filter allows you to strongly blur the image without using a too big “size”. It is also used in many technical image processings.
Nuke default MEDIAN filter is desperately slow and the blinkscript in Foundry’s examples (reproduced in Nukepedia) crash when you increase filter size.
So I created this faster version. It operates on RGB and is an approximation of the true Median.
It is based on Blinkscript so it may not be very renderfarm friendly. Please render locally first.
Usage:
Simply adjust the size as you would do with a regular blur
