Perhaps a simpler solution would be to run an edge detect on a checkerboard, shuffle the alpha into the rgb channels and use that to texture the geo.

That's what I always do for breakdowns. Not...

This isn't mentioned anywhere in the limited documentation available on the pftrack website. Google spits out a dead link on the Pixel Farm website about PF script. I'm pretty sure you could import...

Is there a way you can put a light inside a sphere and have it light up the inside of it? It seems that only directional lighting works in spheres. I guess the only reason you would want to use a...

OK, that makes sense, thanks.

I guess that if I set the trackers to remove jitter, that should work the same as just straight stabilizing them. Otherwise, if that creates any artifacts due to...

I stopped using furnace regrain back in the days of Shake for exactly this reason. I worked on a show where the plates were really grainy and I found that Furnace creates grain in repetitive blocks....

Is this possible?

I have never done any stereoscopic work before and I can't get my head around whether this will work or not.

I'm just trying to remove some jitter or run steadiness, but it...

Awesome cheers. I knew it was user error all along.



Even more awesome. Found it. It doesn't come up in spotlight cos its hidden but by doing this and revealing hidden files/folders, you can...

I could not agree more. The Nuke autosave system is almost useless in comparison.

Once I've saved I tend to increment every hour or so anyways, its only the first save I tend to dawdle on.

I...

It just happened to me again. 2 hours of roto/paint lost with an urgent deadline.

I don't understand why it stopped saying "Autosave of Untitled script available" when you reopen it anymore.

I...

I think this has happened to me quite a few times now.

Nuke saves autosave files in the same folder that you've saved the project but if you haven't saved yet, I have no idea where they go.

OK. It worked finally. Thank you both for your help. The reason why people "don't get this" is because in order to get it to work you have to:

i) keep everything at no clip
ii) use 2 resizes...

This one has been bothering me for ages. I think I have overcome it a few times but I cannot remember how.

When I track a patch in Nuke, how do I extend it beyond the limits of the frame? In...

Not sure what the best route would be for PC as I am on a Mac, but I think the argument that h.264 is not worthy of anything more than an intermediate codec is a valid one.

ProresLT does the...

I am trying to apply a bump map to an imported .obj but I am having little luck. I read a thread on how to apply bump maps but they all seem to relate to displacegeos and relight.

The problem...

The way I remember it this node was almost useless. It claims in the manual to have some clever algorithms to help decide where to put points (something that wouldn't have needed to be that clever)...

Note that in Nuke in order to make use of averaged tracks you need to generate keys or the expression alone doesn't seem to affect the transform tab.

To be fair, I had that problem a year ago, and...

Needless to say, I investigated both manuals before posting. The information was detailed in both although Shake focuses more on when you would use a given filter and Nuke is mainly concerned with...

I am trying to get to grips with the Shake to Nuke transition but I have had enormous problems with filters. I find it very hard to cornerpin track non-square pixel footage without suffering...

PS thanks (especially for the speediness of your response)

so it does. Must have been something wrong with my syntax. Weird that I can't find it in the manual.

How can I put an IF clause into an expression?

They don't seem to make any mention of this in the "adding mathematical functions" section of the Nuke user manual. I wanna create an expression...

I struggled with this one in Shake some time ago and eventually gave up. I would really like to be able to create a number of gizmos that are really just cornerpins with a few extra knobs:

1) a...

Don't see how I missed that, having right-clicked on the shape quite a few times. Feeling like a bit of a dunce.

Thank you very much for your help. I'm not at work right now, so I can't say...

I am doing a monstrous warp (30 sec+) and i have done some roto that isn't working in the warp, because I should have used an open shape instead of a closed one and its interfering with another...
