Timeout

I noticed that sometimes artists get a bit confused about when to use it but even more important – when to use it in combination with the NoTimeBlur node. The TimeBlur node averages everything that goes through the node input using the specified shutter speed. That means, if there is any form of movement or […]

Sometimes I find myself in a situation where I would like to duplicate a specific set of nodes while re-using the same inputs on them.A simple copy/paste forces me to manually connect all the dependencies that I didn’t select. I will show you a simple solution to accomplish this automatically with the help of some

Having a wide selection of Retiming nodes in Nuke is a great thing, but using them all over your script the default way can make things hard to read.Let’s say we have multiple library elements (for example smoke or fire) and we want to place them in our shot. In this example, by just looking

When we double click on a node, we can see it’s attributes in the properties pane (or in a floating window). These are also called knobs and there are many different types of it. Floating Point Knobs, 2D or 3D Position Knobs, Pulldown Knobs, Checkbox Knobs and many more. Knobs can be visible or hidden.

Nuke’s Profile node offers a great way of monitoring your script and node performance – if you want, even by measuring in separate isolated areas.We just need to pop in one (or multiple) profile node(s) and plug it right into the stream where we would like to receive our data from. We can use frame

Comp scripts can get bloated up quite easily, especially the closer we get to our show deadline. Turn arounds have to be quick and this includes rendering your script as fast as possible.Monitoring your node performance can help you stay in control. In Nuke, there are 4 main stages of processing a node: Nuke stores

If we want to integrate 2D or 3D elements into a plate, it comes in handy if we know where the vanishing point is.I’ll show you a quick way of setting up a visual guide, so it helps us by placing and distorting elements in the correct perspective.If we want to keep it simple, quick

While working with plates, we often perform operations that require filtering.If we scale up images, Nuke has to come up with new pixels to fill up the bigger resolution. If we translate or rotate images to a point where a pixel is not simply mapped to a new pixel but rather in between, filtering is
