You can also use the nukeprocess module to ease building scripts from python. http://francoislord.com/blog/computer-graphics/nuke/nukeprocess_74
Has been a good help here and there.

Most excellent.

However, I'd recommend you avoid working with .nk files if at all possible, as I'm sure you'll come up with all sorts of complications. If you want to create Nuke scripts from some other sort of scripting language - e.g., to match the output from a different application, or just perform an arbitrary set of operations - I'm sure you'd find it a lot easier to just start up Nuke in terminal mode (nuke -t) and use Nuke's own commands to create the script as you like it. That way you'll have access to higher-level commands such as nuke.createNode(), which will save headaches. If licensing is a worry, it may be useful to know that terminal mode only uses a render licence. Of course, all of the above depends on exactly what you're trying to do, but I definitely think it's worth considering.

I'm aware of the basic concepts of how a Nuke script is laid out, I'm just wondering if The Foundry have documented their file format so new TD's, developers can read up on it: NODETYPE { knobName knobValue knobName "knobValue" knobName {{curve x#Frame# keyvalue x#Frame# keyvalue}} } Thanks, Mike ________________________________ _______________________________________________ Nuke-python mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-python _______________________________________________ Nuke-python mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-python -- Chris Bevan, Senior Software Engineer The Foundry, 6th Floor, The Communications Building 48 Leicester Square, London, WC2H 7LT Tel: +44 (0)20 7968 6828 | Fax: +44 (0)20 7930 8906 Web: www.thefoundry.co.uk<http://www.thefoundry.co.uk> The Foundry Visionmongers Ltd Registered in England and Wales No: 4642027 _______________________________________________ Nuke-python mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-python
