I need some help

[allright1123]

Hello every one:

Nice to meet you at here at first.

I'm a university student. I try to secondary development in nuke from the foundry for my graduation design.

It's just a particle system to achieve raining an snowing.It not need to look very real.

Now,I have some problem:
1. Nuke is developmented by which language?
2. If I want to development a plugin, which language I should use?
3. Is my graduation design hard to achieve?



Have a nice day !

1. Nuke is written in C++ (with some python integration)

2. Nuke Plug-ins are written in C++, if you know it well enough use it. If you don't know any C++ and don't have a long time to complete the project (to learn C++ along the way), I'd say use Python as its relatively easy to build some nice tools if you know the basics. To be clear, you won't be building a plug-in with python, you'll be using it to make a panel/gizmo.

3. With Python, no. Its pretty easy to build a snow/dust/rain system, I've made them in the past with relative ease.

One difference to C++ is that you don't have access to sprites, so 1x1 cards have to be used as your billboards for the textures. Using card nodes, simulations and rendering will take longer than sprites.

If your particle system requires much flexibility (i.e. multiple forces) then it might take a bit longer, but if you need a simple one-trick poney it shouldn't take up too much of your time.
