Nuke Config

Here is a collection of Nuke tools increase efficiency and add functionality. This is intended as a powerful but simple off-the-shelf Nuke config. It mostly contains code and tools I've written, but there are also a few of the more exceptional Nukepedia tools included.

Background

I've been a Compositor, Compositing TD, Compositing Lead, Compositing Supervisor and VFX Supervisor. I like to figure out how stuff works, and I like to build things. Most of all I like to make my life efficient. Hopefully these tools come in handy and do the same for you.

About

There is some documentation in the markdown files in the doc folder.

Organizationally, the tools folder contains python scripts. Every folder in here is loaded on launch by the menu.py. There are two modules: nuketools, and nukepedia. Nuketools are tools I have written, and Nukepedia includes a few very useful scripts from other authors (sometimes with a few modifications). toolsets includes Nuke toolsets (gizmos as groups). Here, jedsmith contains tools I've written, and nukepedia includes tools from Nukededia.

Installation

Option 1: Environment Variable

Download this folder and put it somewhere. We'll say it's in your home directory in ~/nuke-config. We will add this path to our NUKE_PATH environment variable, so that Nuke loads the contents of this folder.

Add a line to your ~/.bash_profile (or equivalent): export NUKE_PATH=~/nuke-config:${NUKE_PATH}

Start Nuke from a new shell and you should see new stuff. This should co-exist with whatever you've set up in your own .nuke folder.

Option 2: Overwrite your .nuke

The second option just overwrites your local ~/.nuke folder. To do this, simply download this repo, and copy the contents into your ~/.nuke folder.

Notes

The contents of the images is hosted through git lfs so they don't bloat the filesize of the history.
