This video provides a demonstration of how to disable nodes collected on a Backdrop node with descriptions of advantages to compositing workflow. It also shows how to link several node disable radio buttons so one node can disable any number of other nodes.
- [Steve] Hi, this is Steve Wright…welcome you to this week's Nuke nugget,…creative ways to disable groups of nodes…for faster shot development.…You know, as your Nuke skips get larger…and more complex, it behooves you to get more organized…in order to speed up your shot development.…Here we'll see two ways to do just that.…This example comes from my Nuke compositing zombies course…on lynda.com.…Now, I teach my students to put backdrop nodes…all over their script and to color-code them…to help with organization and for finding things.…
Here's what I mean.…I'm gonna scoot in here.…Now, see, I've got the zombie eyes color-coded black…so I can find them immediately,…and I know that this green guy here…is my far headstones glow.…So this is a good way to get organized…so that you can quickly find your way around,…but it has a second advantage.…We can use this to disable entire chunks…of our script like this.…So here's the zombie eyes backdrop.…
If I select it and type D on the keyboard…to disable the backdrop, it knocks out all the nodes,…
