Displays the GPU used for rendering when Use GPU if available is enabled. Local GPU displays Not available when:

• Use CPU is selected as the GPU device in the Preferences.

• no suitable GPU was found on your system.

• it was not possible to create a context for processing on the selected GPU, such as when there is not enough free memory available on the GPU.

You can select a different GPU device, if available, by navigating to the Preferences and selecting an alternative from the GPU Device dropdown.

Note:  Selecting a different GPU requires you to restart Nuke before the change takes effect.

When enabled, rendering occurs on the Local GPU specified, if available, rather than the CPU. The output between the GPU and CPU is identical on NVIDIA GPUs, but using the GPU can significantly improve processing performance.

CaraVR supports AMD GPUs on late 2013 Mac Pro 6,1, mid 2015 Mac Pro 11,5, and and late 2016 MacBook Pro 13,3, running OS X 10.9.3 'Mavericks', or later. While, in some cases the bit-wise equality between GPU and CPU holds, for some operations there are limitations to the accuracy possible with this configuration.

Note:  Enabling this option with no local GPU allows the script to run on the GPU whenever the script is opened on a machine that does have a GPU available.
You should also select this if you wish to render from the command line with the --gpu option.

GPU processing also requires certain NVIDIA and AMD drivers. For more information on the minimum requirements, please refer to the Nuke Release Notes available in Help > Release Notes.

Input

Allows you to blend specific views, rather that all views passed to C_Blender.

Any set of views can be selected, provided that they match in format.

Note:  Rig Views is only active when Override is enabled.

Allows you to quickly set common views, rather than selecting them individually from the Rig Views dropdown.

Note:  Preset is only active when Override is enabled.

When enabled, use the Rig Views and Preset dropdowns to control which views to blend.

Output

Sets the output resolution passed down the node tree.

Typically, you would set the format globally in the Project Settings, but this control overrides the global setting.

Switches between the default Alpha mode and the Multi-Band modes:

• Multi-Band - can improve stitch results by matching low frequency color changes over the course of the blend region.

• Spherical Multi-Band - can improve stitch results at the poles, looking up or down.

Note:  Multi-Band blending can be slower to process than the default Alpha mode.

Controls the size of the smallest level of blending applied to views.

Lower values can help balance color and exposure between blended images, higher values are closer to the result from the default Alpha blending mode.

Note:  Size is only active when Blend is set to Multi-Band or Spherical Multi-Band.
