Tip of the Week: October 2007 Archives

It's been a while since I wrote a Tip of the Week. This week's one covers how to make a gizmo in Nuke. A Nuke Gizmo is a collection of nodes that accomplishes something in one grouping. It's similar to a Shake Macro. The advantage of Nuke's gizmo is that it is not server side based, so you can create any number of custom gizmos, and launch them on a farm, and it'll run them, unlike Shake macros, which prefers a centralized location. Another advantage is that Nuke's automatic gizmo creation is far superior to Shake's automatic macro creation wizard. How so? Hit the link below and follow along.
