can i collect multiple nodes and collapsed them into a single node (group) and export it as a single new node (custom node ) where then i can add or expose/hide any original parameter as well as creating my custom (new) parameter or button where the button will be controlled by expression (python or similar) to do custom task. It's like in Sidefx houdini and foundry Nuke (pure node based app). can i do this in smoke.

My main usage of Desktop paint is partially sharpening important parts of the picture that the focus puller unfortunately missed. I would love to see sharpening added to the tools in CFX Paint. Blur is there already, should not be the hardest thing to implement.

I'm curious why the 'resize' node can only have 1 input ? why it's not designed to have rgb and alpha ? Currently i have trouble when resizing image (w/ alpha) in cfx since i have to use 2 resize nodes. when i need to edit , then i have to re-edit both or using delete/duplicate method.

in cfx schematic , i got an action network, i set this action so it can output the comp and also the matte (the node got 2 output indicator : yellow and blue). Now if i right click and choose 'create cfx' , i will get a new cfx node , but i only output the final comp , there's no matte. In the pref, activate the 'generate alpha' will only output either white or black. Is this feature not avalable yet ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been looking for a while for a way to deactivate or disable a node in CFX. I know there is a way to disable nodes in Action by hiding them. Is there a way to do this in CFX? It would be handy to turn on and off a node in a CFX tree to see its effect on the whole tree.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI keep on getting errors like PIPELINE: Unsupported input resolution mix in node "gmask" when entering the MK via action.For example, I have one clip that I work on inside the MK of action. And when I simply exchange the clip for a different one (same size, same bit depth), the screen turns blank and I get those error messages.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the mk the final output has to be sent to the 'result' node. The weird thing why this node has 3 input ( fg , bg ,matte ) ? the single stream of the matte should make it work. Is there any good explaination ? In what condition we need to connect all the output ? if i connect the fg to other image/clip then when we go back to action, the fg of the related layer will be replaced. But why we want to replace the fg using mk?

I set up a sequence that is HD, but I have source material that is 2K (2560x1440). When I try to insert or overwrite said source clip to the sequence, it should insert and automatically add a resize node. Instead, it changes the sequence size to match the source size. Bug?
Also, I can't seem to find a way to resize the output of my connectFX node to match the sequence size. For example, lets say I want to comp a bunch of shots that are 2K in action, and then output an HD sequence matching my sequence size. How is this done? I have changed the comp size in action and linked that to the connectfx node, but it just puts the smaller comp size in a black box which is the size of the source material (in this case, 2K).
Is there a definitive list of functions, arguments, parameters etc?
I'm specifically trying to access image width and height and the number of items in the action node.
(SelectedOrder.count or something...)
Is this a bug? I can't save a custom export preset. I set it up, hit save, give it a name then don't see it in the list.
