Nuke And -v Flag

[deecue]

Hey everybody,

this ties in to my thread about using mplay to view aov's.. luckily nuke can view these and with the nuke -v command, this should work quite well.. but I'm having a heck of a time getting it to view multiple images along the frame range.. i.e. :

nuke -v image_rgb.exr image_aov.exr 1,2

any nuke users out there that can help with this?

thanks,

dave

try this:

for files like this:

image.0001.exr

image.0002.exr

image.0003.exr

nuke -v image.%04d.exr 1-3

ok.. cool.. a step in the right direction.. (i was using *)..

so now what if i want to do multiple files with different names..

i.e.

image_foo.0001.exr

image_bar.0001.exr

with mplay, i can simply use regular shell expressions:

mplay image_???.0001.exr

or if they aren't the same suffix length

mplay image_*.0001.exr

but can i do this with nuke?

thanks for the help so far.. a big help..

btw, this was sort of resolved.. still doesn't look like reg exp can be used which sucks but atleast it does take multiple file names:

nuke -v foo.exr bar.exr

just instead of using a frame range, it cycled through a 1-1 range on each image with the space bar.. the only bad thing about this was it was crazy unstable with 15+ images.. not good..

basically all options came down to creating a .nk script with tcl to bring in each file needed and throwing them into a switch with an expression of the frame number.. (also some shuffling for aovs in to rgb for easy viewing..)

nukev blah.%04d.exr 1-100

hey alex,

sorry for the late reply.. busy times at work these days..

anyways.. yea, that works fine.. problem wasn't with a sequence of images of the same name, but just random single frames from all over.. i.e.:

$SHOT/hello/foo.0001.exr

$SHOT/world/bar.0001.exr

it does work.. with the space bar.. but breaks easily.. and the user can't go back and forth.. unless i wanted to script out a temp directory with a bunch of symlinks pointing at the original frames from all over, i can't use the %04d method..

thanks again..
