New Features

Roto Open Splines

Roto and RotoPaint now have a newOpen Spline tool in the shape toolset TheOpen Spline tool lets you drawcurves in a similar way to other shapes except that they dont need to form a closed shape Press Return or select adifferent tool to complete the splinewithout closing it or close the spline by clicking on the first point created

After creation you can edit points on the splines using the standard smooth and transformhandles but they alsohave individual thickness and feather handles

See RotoRotoPaint Open Splines for a list of known issues

bull BUG ID 34697 - Launching Nuke from a network shared drive causes Nuke to crash on launch

As aworkaround either

bull tarball the installation fromMacOS X and unzip it on the alternate file system (using NFS or Samba dependingon source) or

bull using the command line copy the installation fromMacOS X to the network location using the same filesystem as the destination

bull BUG ID 33970 - Using a node such as Grade as a custom viewer process outputs a blank Viewer

As aworkaround adjust the Viewer gain control to refresh the Viewer

bull BUG ID 22062 - Nuke doesnt currently give the option to restore the autosave of an unsaved script except whenNuke is run from the command line

bull BUG ID 13638 - The following graphics cards are not currently supported forMac

bull ATI Radeon X1600

Users with these cards will be able to render from the command line but in GUI sessions theNodeGraph willrender incorrectly due to a requirement of OpenGL 2 drivers

bull BUG ID 12048 - Nuke crashes if you activate screen sharing when there is no screen plugged in

bull BUG ID 11776 - Node text appears aliased unclear or garbled at certain zoom levels

Particlesbull BUG ID 18268 - Enabling color from texture always renders a solid white alpha for the texture

bull BUG ID 17520 - Geometry representation textures are displayed even when display is set to off

bull BUG ID 17243 - Using sprites instead of geometry representations causes particles to render behind the 3D gridlines

PlanarTrackerbull BUG ID 33254 - PlanarTrackerrsquos Roto node defaults to the Select all tool rather than Bezier If you click on theViewer then change the tool and draw a shape your shape is added to the root layer instead ofPlanarTrackerLayer1 Thismeans itrsquos not considered for tracking and tracking fails

Theworkaround is to

bull make sure PlanarTrackerLayer1 is selected in the Roto Properties

bull change to one of the shape tools before attempting to draw in Viewer and

bull in the Roto Properties make sure a purple rectangle appears in the PT column to indicate that the shape isconsidered for tracking

bull BUG ID 19683 - After adjusting the planar surface using theCorrect Plane Viewer button you have to undo twicefor the planar surface to return to its original position

bull BUG ID 19563 - Detected or tracked features are not offset by the origin of the input images bounding box

To avoid this you can add a Crop node before PlanarTrackerrsquos associated Roto node

bull BUG ID 19240 -When Viewer downrez is greater than 1 the clearTrackDataForward button currently offsetsbezier shapes to fit the root format

To return the shape to its original size and position advance the sequence one frame

PrmanRenderbull BUG ID 27648 - After a security update forMac OS X Nuke is unable to load the PrmanRender plug-in when in GUImode

See httpsupportapplecomkbHT5281 formore information

As aworkaround set the following environment variablesexport RMANTREE=ApplicationsPixarRenderManappVersionsRenderManProServer-151

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$RMANTREElib

Then launch Nuke from the command line

bull In theNuke camera thewindow roll control is not yet mapped to RenderMan

Pythonbull BUG ID 8063 - Creatingmany new nodes with nukecreateNode() and the in-panel argument at default (True)may crash when toomany node control panels are created too quickly Theworkaround is to pass the in-panelargument as False or else usenukenodesNodeClass() (whereNodeClass is the type of node to create) to createthe node and then connect it to the currently selected nodemanually

bull BUG ID 6455 - You should not call the Python command nukerestoreWindowLayout() from the Script Editor asthat can causeNuke to crash Instead you can use the same command from yourmenupy restore layouts byselecting Layout gt Restore Layout or use a custommenu or toolbar item

bull Nuke sometimes reports errors in Groups and Gizmos appearing similar to the following

groupNameNodeNameknobname unexpected k in 0knobname

The problem ismost likely that there is an expression that is using the input TCL command and doesnt validatethat there is an input connected An example expression

[input parent 0]translatex

The input command returns 0 when it cant find the requested input which generates an expression of0knobname that doesnt refer to anything The fix is to restructure the expression to use the value TCLcommand and specify a default value to return in the case that the expression is invalid It takes the form

[value [input parent inputnumber]knob defaultValue]

Here is themodified example

[value [input parent 0]translatex 0]

Themodified example returns 0 in the event that there is no input 0 and no longer result in an errormessage

bull There is a Python syntax conflict when assigning knob names on the fly with nukenodesltnodegt() if the knob iscalled in

For example this gives a syntax error

nukenodesShuffle(in = depth)

while this works because in is a string here and not a keyword

sh = nukenodesShuffle()

sh[in]setValue(depth)

QuickTime ProRes 4444bull BUG ID 17360 - Some customers have experienced unexpected shifts in chroma values when using the ProRes4444 mov codec

Render codecs

There have been issues where rendering with certain codecsmakes Nuke crash Due to this we recommend thefollowing

bull If youre using the Sorensen Video codec its recommended you use the Sorensen Video 3 codec instead If youreunable to switch to Sorensen Video 3 try using a format smaller than 2K for better performance

bull If youre experiencing crashes with CineformHD try updating your Cineform codec to version 5 or above Youmayneed to download theNeoplayer at httpestorecineformcomneoplayeraspx

bull If youre using Avid Meridien you should only write out in NTSC and PAL

Nuke 6 scripts containing Roto display a conversion prompt when you open them in Nuke 8

bull Click Save As to convert the script to theNuke 8 Roto format or

bull Click Ignore to load theNuke 6 format into Nuke 8 Youmight select this option if

- You dont intend to make any changes or

- You want to overwrite the file with a Nuke 7 and 8 only Roto format when saving

If you want Nuke 8 scripts to load in Nuke 6 use the convertToNuke6 or convertDirectoryToNuke6 Pythonfunctions when running Nuke 8 in terminal only mode

NOTE The conversion functions cannot convert stereo-split curves as they are not supported by Nuke 6

bull To convert individual nk scriptsconvertToNuke6(fromScript toScript overwrite = False)

New Features

Release Date05 December 2013

New Features

ApplyMaterial

A new filter control has been added to the ApplyMaterial node allowing you to use a named filter when applying amaterial

ApplyMaterial can be found in the 3D gt Shader menu Click here to launch the online help page

BlinkScript

A newBlinkScript node has been added This utilizes our Blink framework to compile and run C++-like imageprocessing kernels on the CPU (with optional SIMD acceleration) or GPU It streamlines plug-in developmentworkflow significantly as you no longer have to exit Nuke to compile your code

The Publish button on theKernel Parameters tab can be used to share your BlinkScript tools with otherswithout exposing the development environment This button creates a group containing a copy of the current nodewhich can then be saved as a gizmo if desired Only the kernel parameters and GPU controls are exposed by defaultin the published version of the node

You can also enable Protect kernel next to the Publish button before publishing When enabled the kernelsource is encoded inside the published version of the node and is not readablewhen the published node is saved toa script

Breakpad Crash Reporting

Breakpad crash reporting has been integrated into Nuke This allows you to submit crash dumps to The Foundry inthe unlikely event of a crash

Crash reporting is enabled in GUI mode and disabled in terminalmode by default You can toggle reporting on andoff using the --crashhandling 1 or 0 option on the command line or by setting the environment variable NUKE_CRASH_HANDLING to 1 or 0

When crash handling is enabled in GUI mode you can control whether reports are automatically submitted or notusing the --nocrashprompt command line option or by setting the environment variable NUKE_NO_CRASH_PROMPT to 0

Crashes in terminalmode are automatically submitted when crash handling is enabled

CameraTracker

Nukersquos CameraTracker has been overhauled and now includes tracking stills to create an animated 3D camera andadding User Tracks to augment a solve or process and entirely manual track and solve

You can automatically track features add User Tracks or tracks from a Tracker node mask out moving objects usinga Bezier or B-spline shape and edit your tracksmanually CameraTracker can solve the position of several types ofcameras as well as solve stereo sequences

The new CameraTracker has threemain workflows

bull Sequence - designed to track a contiguous frame sequencewithminimal intervention from you

bull User Tracks - allows you to manually place trackingmarkers to augment or even totally replace sequencetracking You also assign User Tracks as 3D Survey Points to improve solve accuracy or link solves to the sameworld coordinates

NOTE 3D Survey Points have replaced the ProjectionSolver workflow but you can still addProjectionSolver nodes by pressing X in theNodeGraph and entering ProjectionSolver as a TCLcommand

bull Stills - creates a camera track from reference frame stills taken on site These represent theminimumnumber offrames required to cover your subject with sufficient overlap

Context-Sensitive Online Help

Nuke now features an online help system linked to individual nodes The in-context help is designed to replace thenode specific tooltips in-application

Previously when you clicked the in the properties panel in Nuke a brief tooltip displayed with a short description ofthe node and in some cases a little bit of control usage info The new system cuts away to the default browser anddisplays the relevant content from the new online HTML help including video tutorials and example scripts

NOTE You can still display the tooltip by hovering over the in the properties panel

There are also some new Preferences on theControl Panel tab under Documentation which will allow you tochoose to display the local copy of the online help The Foundry version fromourwebsite or your own customURLs

Click here to launch the online help

Dope Sheet

TheDope Sheetrsquos functionality layout and visibility have been improved

bull Keyframe positions can be remapped in theDope Sheet using AppendClip Retime TimeClip TimeOffset andTimeWarp nodes The keyframes are displayed in context allowing you to shift keysmore easily within theDopeSheet from their remapped positions

bull Nodes that affect frame ranges are now displayed within a layer in theDope Sheet for easier visualization

EditGeo

Nuke now includes an EditGeo node allowing you to select and edit geometry or point cloud vertices and faces in the3D Viewer

EditGeo can be found in the 3D gt Modify menu Click here to launch the online help page

Import Nuke

A new import nuke function has been added to allow you to useNuke as amodule in any Python interpreter Werecommend running the Python interpreter bundled in theNuke install directory

You can import Nuke as amodule into a third-party Python 273 interpreter by adding the file path to Nukes site-packages directory to the usrlocalpth file in your Python 27 install

NOTE The Foundry cannot provide customer support for third-party Python interpreters

Whichever interpreter you choose use the import nuke declaration to makeNukersquos Script Editor functions andcommands (such as nukenodesBlur() to add a Blur node) available in the interpreter

Formore information select Help gt Documentation fromNukesmenu bar and navigate to Python DevelopersGuide gt Running Nuke as a Python Module

MatchGrade

MatchGrade for NukeX allows you to match grades fromunrelated frames as well as the original graded sourcematching function Additionally you can now export LUTs from the analysis to an OCIOTransform node to useelsewhere in the node tree

bull Match Graded Source - extract a baked-in grade by matching the source footagewith a graded version of thesource

Use this to create and export the grade to usewith the original source footage The same frames are expected onthe source and target inputs

bull Match Different Clip - match the grade in a different clip where the source and target frames are different

Use this to create a grade to reproduce the look of the target in the source footage You can for example createthe grade to match an element between different shots by using themask input to match the colors on theelement only in the different clips

bull Analyze Reference Frames - analyze a set of reference frames First set thematching task then key referenceframes that pick out the characteristic colors in each sequence

Then click Analyze Reference Frames to calculate the grade

bull Auto-analyze Per Frame - calculate the best grade to use on a frame-by-frame basis when extracting a baked ingrade

Select Auto-analyze per frame when the task is set to Match Graded Source to enable this

bull Export - export the calculated grade in csp format for usewith theOCIO FileTransform node

A CDL transform can also be calculated and exported to OCIO CDLTransform There is the option to manually setCDL parameters and recalculate the best fit transform

MatchGrade can be found in theColor menu Click here to launch the online help page

ModelBuilder

ModelBuilder for NukeX now supports the unpacking of geometry as UVs using rsquoseamsrsquo marked by hand in theViewer The seams control the unwrapping tellingModelBuilder where its allowed to cut themodel in order to beable to lie themodel flat without any faces overlapping

Unwrapping generates UV values for each of the vertices You can do it asmany times as you like each iterationreplaces whatever UVs you had previously

ModelBuilder can be found in the 3D gt Geometry menu Click here to launch the online help page

Multi-part EXRs

Nuke now supportsmulti-part EXR files using ILMrsquos OpenEXR20 library Multi-part EXRs allow you to read individualchannels layers and viewswithin an EXR file without unpacking all the parts contained within it

Additionally you can writemulti-part EXRs out using theWrite nodersquos interleave dropdownwhich determines theparts that arewritten to file

bull channels layers and views - creates a single part imagewhich is compatible with earlier versions of Nuke andother applications using an old OpenEXR library

bull channels and layers - separates views into the layers and channels contained within the view

bull channels - separates layers into their component channels

ParticleCache

The ParticleCache node allows you to write particle systems to file and read themback in to alleviate the constant re-evaluation of pre-frames in the simulation

If you have downstreamnodes requesting extra frames outside the normal range such asmotion blur orScanlineRender shutter length use thepadding control to set the number of frames to extend the sequence by atboth start and end

NOTE ParticleCache nodesmust be placed at the base of a single particle systemormultiplemergedparticle systems they can not be placed beneath a Scene node connected to two separate streams or inthemiddle of a string of particle nodes

ParticleCache can be found in the Particles menu Click here to launch the online help page

Pixel Analyzer and Scopes

A Pixel Analyzer panel has been added to the contentsmenu allowing you to collect color information frompixels inthe Viewer The analyzer has threemodes

bull CtrlCmd + click - samples a single pixel wherever you click in the Viewer

bull CtrlCmd + click and drag - samples single pixels as you drag around the Viewer producing current maxminaverage andmedian pixel values

bull CtrlCmd + Shift + click and drag - draws amarquee aroundmultiple pixels producingmaxmin average andmedian pixel values You can drag themarquee around to sample different areas and adjust its size using thehandles in the Viewer

Nuke has adopted Hierorsquos HistogramWaveform and Vectorscope panels accessed from the content menu Thereare also new scope controls in the Preferences gt Scopes tab

Click here to launch the online help page for the Pixel Analyzer or here for the Scopes help

QuickTime Processing

Theway that Nuke and Hiero handleQuickTime clips has been overhauled allowing you to change various read andwrite options

Nukersquos Read node attempts to select the rsquobest fitrsquo combination by reading an extended list of metadata keyvaluepairs from theQuickTime header including nclc atom gama atom and ProRes codec headers

Nuke also writes out usermetadata depending on the specific settings used (outside of the nclc and gama atomsand ProRes header) and Hiero has been set to use these if it finds them in the mov files written instead of theatomsmentioned above If Hiero doesnt find this usermetadata it falls back to using the atomsheader data

You canmanually override the followingmov Options in the Read node properties panel

bull ycbcr matrix - sets theway YrsquoCbCr is converted to RGB You can choose to use the new Rec 601 and Rec 709 orthe Legacy encodingmethods which are themethods used previously in Nuke

bull codec - sets the codec used to read theQuickTime file The codec dropdown defaults to a codec appropriate for theQuickTime in question where available and only lists those that declare themselves able to read the file

bull pixel format - sets the read and write pixel format which includes bit-depth colorspace pixel packing and rangesThis setting defaults to the best format accepted by the codec allowing Nuke to perform the conversion to RGBwithout the use of an unknownQuickTime transform where possible RGB pixel types rely on QuickTime to do theconversion from YrsquoCbCr when dealing with a non-RGB codec

Setting theWrite node properties file type to mov allows you to override the sameQuickTime controls as the Readnode except that thepixel format dropdown is populated depending on the codec chosen

ScanlineRender

Nukersquos ScanlineRender node now supports Deep output allowing to connect Deep nodes directly downstreamofScanlineRender nodes

Additionally the render dropdown for 3D objects now contains all display types allowing you to renderwireframe solid+wireframe and textured+wireframe

Nukersquos Text node has been reworked to includemore text options and attributes for individual characters

bull Make group and individual character selections in either the Viewer or properties panel

bull Adjust single characters in a text string including individual or group character transforms

NOTE The font dropdown includes system fonts by default If you dont want access to the local systemfonts go to the Project Settings gt Font tab and disable include system fonts

Text can be found in theDrawmenu Click here to launch the online help page

Miscellaneousbull New rsquovirtual slidersrsquo have been added to all numeric controls Hover over a control click themiddlemouse buttonthen drag the field to adjust the associated control Hold Shift to increase slider sensitivity

bull Lanczos4 - good for scaling downwithminor sharpening

bull Lanczos6 - good for scaling downwith some sharpening

bull Sinc4 - a box windowed Sinc filter good for scaling downwith a lot of sharpening

The filter numbers at the end of the filter name denote thewidth of the filter similar to the naming scheme usedby PRMan (httpwwwrendermanorgRMRstPRMan_FilteringFiltering_In_PRManhtml)

NOTE All three filters have negative lobes and can produce values outside the range of the input pixelsThey exhibit increased ringing as the filters become sharper

Roto Open Splines

Roto and RotoPaint now have a newOpen Spline tool in the shape toolset TheOpen Spline tool lets you drawcurves in a similar way to other shapes except that they dont need to form a closed shape Press Return or select adifferent tool to complete the splinewithout closing it or close the spline by clicking on the first point created

After creation you can edit points on the splines using the standard smooth and transformhandles but they alsohave individual thickness and feather handles

See RotoRotoPaint Open Splines for a list of known issues
