I'm a huge
advocate of learning programming as
an artist to aid in working smart, and not
hard. However, sometimes, even programming
something simple such as adding new gizmos
to a menu in Nuke can become a little
tedious when done too many times.
Max
Van Leeuwen encountered this
frustration in 2017, and created a Python
script which automatically adds Gizmos, Nuke
Scripts, Plugins, and other Python Scripts
(including any associated icons) to any menu
inside Nuke, mirroring your newly-installed
NukeShared repository's directory structure.
It's certainly a worthy time-saver to add to
your toolkit!
Thanks to Henry
Wilkinson for the suggestion!

Florian
Lorber recently reached out to
share his gizmo,
fl_VirtualLens, which aims to
emulate all the different phenomena
that can appear when light passes
through a lens. It's great for
matching all those weird aberrations in
your plate, or adding that extra 5% of
polish at the end of a full-CG shot.

Radial UV map
practical applications.

In this brief tutorial from Zhongyan
Dai, you'll learn how to create
radial distortion using a custom UV Map. He
also provides an example Nuke script, which
dives into how you can easily animate &
add visual complexity to said distortion
with some simple masks, noise patterns &
iDistorts.
Thanks for reaching out and
sharing, Zhongyan!

Captain Disillusion's channel started on
YouTube 12 years ago, aiming to debunk fake
viral videos. In his most recent series of
videos titled CD /,
he's been diving into topics surrounding
capturing, displaying & manipulating
images.
While the information is likely nothing new
to a VFX artist, his videos are so
well-polished and entertaining that it's
totally worth your time to check out.
Cheers to Myong
Choi for the tip!
