change Roto Views to left and right

-
RotoViewsPanel.py

This little python script will help you lot when working with stereoscopic conversion. While Import roto nodes from silhouette, mocha and other software’s, Imported roto nodes are output the channels only on "Left" view.

Like below image.

 We have to change the roto shapes view on both "left & right" for stereo conversion. To do that, manually select all rotoshapes and set the view on "left - right". This may take lot of time to do this on bigger shots. So how to reduce this manual work. Here is the solution for that.

RotoViewsPanel.py.

This script will pop-up a window for setting the selected or all roto nodes views to left are right only are Both. Run this script on nukes script editor and enjoy.


result:
Hope this script will help you friends.


RotoViewsPanel script:

class RotoViewsPanel(nukescripts.PythonPanel):

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find a way to assign random colors to all the existing rotoshapes within a script.

    n = nuke.selectedNode()
    for item in n['curves'].rootLayer:
    attr = item.getAttributes()
    attr.set(nuke.frame(), 'r', 1.0)
    attr.set(nuke.frame(), 'g', 1.0)
    attr.set(nuke.frame(), 'b', 1.0)

    Any idea who to do that?
    Many Thanks
    Sam

    Here is the code for you....

    def randomRotoColor():
    rotoNode = nuke.selectedNode()
    rotoCurve = rotoNode['curves']
    rotoRoot = rotoCurve.rootLayer
    for i in rotoRoot:
    if isinstance(i, nuke.rotopaint.Shape):
    attrs = i.getAttributes()
    randR = nuke.expression('random()')
    randG = nuke.expression('random()')
    randB = nuke.expression('random()')
    attrs.set('r', randR)
    attrs.set('g', randG)
    attrs.set('b', randB)

    randomRotoColor()

      wow, this is great thanks! I wasn't expecting you to give me the actual code! It's working - I've got only one issue, once the colours are assigned it doesn't update the viewer unless you select the rotoshapes so you can see the colours! Did you come across this too? Thanks

      Hi sam this is bug in nuke. I hope in future release they have going to fix that...

      Here is the another code which is work with child Layers also.

      import nuke
      import math
      def randomRotoColor(elem):
      for i in elem:
      if isinstance(i, nuke.rotopaint.Layer):
      randomRotoColor(i)
      elif isinstance(i, nuke.rotopaint.Shape):
      attrs = i.getAttributes()
      randR = nuke.expression('random()')
      randG = nuke.expression('random()')
      randB = nuke.expression('random()')
      attrs.set('r', randR)
      attrs.set('g', randG)
      attrs.set('b', randB)



      rotoNode = nuke.selectedNode()
      rotoCurve = rotoNode['curves']
      rotoRoot = rotoCurve.rootLayer
      randomRotoColor(rotoRoot)

    thanks man, i'm trying to make it work for a group consisted of rotoshapes now - no luck so far!
    by the way, i found a little trick to update the viewer with the new colours; just add this at bottom of the code:
    nuke.frame(nuke.frame()+1)

    by the way - I need to apply the same colour to all the children ... so still trying to use your previous code

      below code will apply "Gray" color to all the shapes. If you want to assign different color, Then try with some other color values on "attrs.set('r', 0.5)" lines. This code works with group node also.


      def randomRotoColor(elem):
      for i in elem:
      if isinstance(i, nuke.rotopaint.Layer):
      randomRotoColor(i)
      elif isinstance(i, nuke.rotopaint.Shape):
      attrs = i.getAttributes()
      attrs.set('r', 0.5)
      attrs.set('g', 0.5)
      attrs.set('b', 0.5)
      tos = []
      for a in nuke.toNode('Group1').nodes():
      if a.Class()=='Roto':
      tos.append(a)
      for b in tos:
      rotoCurve = b['curves']
      rotoRoot = rotoCurve.rootLayer
      randomRotoColor(rotoRoot)

Export Nuke's retime information

Export Nuke's retime information To 3D packages: This is happen while working with production. In most cases retiming is done beforehand or at the end of a comp. Some time shots getting retimed after Match-move is done. By that time Nuke's retime data (curve) will help to match the tracked camera to new retimed plate. Here is the trick to export nuke's retime date (curve) to 3D packages such as maya, max, Houdini etc. Here im explaining how to export nuke's retime curve to maya. Constant re-speed. I want to retime my input by 200%. Add a retime node and change the speed to 2. Don't forget to change the filter option to None . Retime node doesn't generate retime curve at all. So note down the output range. It changed from original range 1001 - 1042 to 1001 - 1021. Which means our input ended with 1021. Add a TimeWarp node and set keyFrames based on our retime output result. Set a key frame at 1001 as 1001 in input frame knob. Got

Working with UV pass inside NUKE UV pass will allow you to re-texture surfaces and add some elements ( like text, batches, picture frame ) later in the compositing stage. Here i place my name on the surface and apply motion blur inside nuke. Creating UV pass inside MAYA: Maya 2012 have inbuilt UV render pass. Open up render settings under Passes tab select create render passes and choose UVpass and add. Maya->Render Settings->Passes->UVpass If you want to create custom UV pass Follow below link. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=13481445&linkID=9242258 Enable float values for rendering For render UV pass from MAYA you must change your colour bit depth from the standard RGBA 4x8Bits per channel to RGBA (Float) 4x32 Bit (full float). Open up your 'Render Settings' and at the bottom of the 'Quality' tab change the 'Date Type' to 'RGBA (Float) 4x32 Bit. choosing File format f

DeepEdgeSmoother

DeepEdgeSmoother Deep compositing became day to day work in many compositing studios around the world. Nuke having couple of Deep nodes to do Deep compositings. But Nuke still lagging Deep edge manipulating  nodes like edgeBlur, erode etc. I have faced many issues with blending edges while merging Deep inputs with 2D plates. Edge looks too sharp in many cases even there is Deep holdout.  DeepEdgeSmoother is applying softness on both end of Deep layer (Deep front and Deep back). Before: After: This gizmo add smoothness on both end of deep data to blend the edges more naturally. I hope this will help you guys. Download here: DeepEdgeSmoother
