Batch & Daylife.

jeff, loops

i’m talking about the “background” notes in Nuke, not the attached notes in FFI (unless i’m missing something in their functionality)

the background notes in nuke let you drop a bunch of nodes on a background note (color coded, too!) then that group can be moved round on the screen just by grabbing the note. sorta like “grouping” in FFI but without having to collapse the nodes into a little square bundle.

it makes organizing large comps a LOT easier. this is obviously more important in nuke/shake workflow than in FFi because it often takes many more nodes to accomplish the task, but it is still a very nice tool to have. that little “elbow” node that lets you redirect a connecting pipe’s path at a right angle is nice, too….keeps the spiderweb effect to a minimum.

(wow..this thread has been hijacked several differnt times!)

hi

i use batch all the time on comercials for that very reason – there will always be a comment that will undo everything you have done. i think batch is the best and only real way to work in flame. i have tried the history but it slow the machine down incredibly. i think that batch is a good discipline to get used to – its not as pretty as shakes but far more effective. jh
