NUKE provides a function called “tool-sets” to insert node collections into your node graph. Unfortunately this works only on a single workstation and NUKE doesn’t provide functionality to share tool-sets among multiple artists in a network. In this course, Developing GUI Based Tools for Production in NUKE, you’ll learn in great detail how to develop GUI-based tools for production in NUKE. First, you’ll learn about the different GUI options provided inside NUKE. Next, you’ll be shown how to set up a clean plug-in structure. Then, you’ll learn how to work efficiently by outsourcing your code into multiple modules. Finally, you’ll develop the core functionality and helper functions for the plug-in. By the end of this course, you’ll have a good understanding of how to plan, structure, and program your own plug-ins for NUKE. Software required: NUKE 8 or greater, PyCharm 4 or greater.
