# “Star Trek”

And when it came two final 3, they missed out to Avtaar,Star Trek,District 9..
According to me Avataar was quite obvious..Star trek ,well i haven't seen it ,not a fan ,but what i have heard they its amazing..
And for District 9 ...you have to give to those guys..for a small budget movie from no where to come up with such breathtaking and seamless vfx its simply amazing..not only that if you see the technology they have used...point cloud system in nuke to name a few..you cant argue much..

Now to 2012,though it had one of the best destruction seq ever but personally over all i think it lagged the consistency..If u see the shots where the Russian billionaire actually dies u can make out its chroma.it does does not fit seamlessly ,there are no of instances...
Transformer all i can say wud have to really unlucky to miss out on the final nomination,think the jury know the best...
cheers
keep them comming......

Nuke Scripts
Well his a script i made and am using in production.
This basically helps you define your new project according to your needs ie set up the folder structure ..
so u dont have to manually create them this dialog box takes care of that...
def ProjectSet():
myPanel = nuke.Panel("SET PROJECT DIRECTORY")
myPanel.addSingleLineInput("SYSTEM ","Z")
myPanel.addSingleLineInput("PROJECT: ","")
myPanel.addSingleLineInput("SEQUENCE: ","")
myPanel.addSingleLineInput("SHOT: ", "")
myPanel.addNotepad("Note","z is the default directory.")
if myPanel.show()==1:
curShow=myPanel.value("PROJECT: ")
curSeq=myPanel.value("SEQUENCE: ")
curShot=myPanel.value("SHOT: ")
curSys=myPanel.value("SYSTEM: ")
myLabel=curShow + "-" + curSeq + "-" + curShot
myPath="z:/" + curShow + "/" + curSeq + "/" + curShot + "/"
dir=os.path.dirname(myPath)
askDir=nuke.ask('create Directory/n%s')
if askDir==1:
os.makedirs(dir)
else:
raise Exception('directory not created')
nuke.addFavoriteDir(myLabel,dir,nuke.SCRIPT | nuke.IMAGE)
nuke.scriptSave()
else:
raise Exception('PROJECT DIRECTORY NOT SET')
nuke.menu("Nuke").addCommand("Set Project","ProjectSet()")
You very well edit and modify it as per your production needs..
