Hello! After some time developing/testing this, its time to release for public use:
The Nuke .fxs (Silhouette shape format) exporter.
Its a Nuke python script that will let you grab any Roto/Rotopaint node and export the shapes to Silhouette Roto and Paint.
(Yes, that Mocha shapes can now go into Silhouette if you need them)
SUPPORTED FEATURES
Shape position/animation (baked)
Shape Opacity Animation
Shape Motion Blur
Shape Overlay Color
Shape Blending Modes
Shape Inverted attribute
Shape Open/Closed
Delete repeated baked keyframes when possible
Hello! On this video I present the “FreezeSplinewarp” technique: it allows to matchmove and stabilize plates using Nuke’s splinewarp node.
With CornerPins your are limited to 4 points, but with this technique you can use any number of points, getting more finer control. I show also the scripts that I developed to automate the whole process.
You can support the script development with Donations and also by emailing the Foundry’s support and request prioritization for the following ticket’s:
Bug 35393 – Unable to create splinewarp curve via python _curveknob.Shape
Bug 34896 – a way to join splinewarp shapes via Python
These will help to further improve the scripts and automation of the technique.
After some time working with visual effects and video post production, I started to develop scripts to customize tools or automate some of the repetitive and boring tasks of everyday visual effects life. Usually I create them for my own personal use on my spare time or for our company specific needs, and most of them are shared for free on the links below:
If you work with Rotoscope in Silhouette Roto and Paint, check out the scripts that I’ve developed for Boundary Visual Effects. They are free and will help improve your day by day rotoscope tasks.
