Configuring Nuke

These pages show visual effects supervisors how to configure Nuke for multiple artists, prior to the start of a project. These are the common application settings discussed:

• Command line operations

• Environment variables

• Gizmo, NDK plug-in, and Tcl script directories

• Python script directories

• OFX plug-in directories

• Favorite directories

• Cross-platform file paths

• Menu and Toolbar options

• Image formats

• Gizmos (Nuke group nodes or subscripts that allow only select modifications)

• Custom plug-ins (binary plug-ins made via the Nuke software developers kit)

• Generic Tcl ("Tickle") scripts

• Template scripts

• Common preferences

• Script's lookup tables (LUTs)

• Custom Viewer Processes

Note:  If you copy and paste Python example scripts from this user guide into a text editor, line indentations may not be preserved. If this is the case, correct the indentations manually.
