XSI to NukeAuthor: Tim
This plugin runs Nuke from the Softimage interface and sends all the passes to Nuke. Also sets up the resolution, frame rate and frame range in Nuke

Hi Tim,

About the frame ranges, I first noticed this on my first scene, where two passes didn't end up in Nuke.
When I created a new simple scene with one sphere and 4 passes, and one pass having a different frame range, it did the same thing.
All passes with the same frame range will show up in Nuke, the different one will not.

2011SP1x64, Win7x64. Running from a workgroup.

I just noticed, the 'missing' pass -is- loaded at first, but then disappears out of the node graph.

cheers,

rob

no so I`m go read the link you give to me Tanks

What version of SI are you trying out?

I haven't really tested 2010 as I don't have Python installed, but 2011 was really easy to get it installed and set up. No need for the Python .reg file btw.

Here is an update.
This version exports also cameras.
I checked and the plugin is working on SI2010. Rork thanks for your feedback.I think most of the stuff that you mention now are fixed.I couldn't reproduce the problem you mention with the frame ranges. Everything working fine here.If someone has this problem please let me know.

How it works:
- If you don't select anything and run the plugin you will get all of the cameras and passes in Nuke, or if you want to get specific pass or camera you select it and run the plugin.
-Now you can just update and overwrite the ."nk" file without runing Nuke.Keep in mind that the .nk file exported from the plugin is meant to be temporary.After you export your scene to Nuke you have to save it as a different file.And than if you want to add more stuff to your comp you just have to run tiim_XSItoNuke_Update and than import it to the Nuke comp.

Please make sure that after installation you restarted XSI and typed the paths in the Custom Preferences. For the Nuke file use the extension .nk and for the cameras you just specify your destination folder.

For the plugin I didn't want to use any gui so to be as less clicks as possible. So the plugin is checking for the first and the last key frame on the camera and exports that range to Nuke.
And if you don't have animation will create a key on frame 1 in Nuke.

Hope this is clear.

Some credit also goes to Gmeyer's chan exporter. I used some of his ideas for the camera export.


About the Python problems.I use to have some problems with python and XSI before and as I remember the solution for me at that time was to install activepython.You can find it here.

Cheers

P.S
Maybe if I find more free time next version will export also meshes....

Rork you were right I was able to reproduce the bug with the frame ranges.I just didn't test with different starting frame.But now everything should be fine.Here is a new version.

Before install it remove the old one!

Exported camera does not match in Nuke with XSI scene :/

btw, does this script export geometry as well? Or what should it export if I select pass? All I get right now is camera. Promising script! Getting camera from Softimage to Nuke has been lot of stress so far, this makes it lot easier if it would match 100% :)

Thanks Splin . It's good to have a feedback!I didn't notice this problem because obviously I didn't make enough tests with different camera Focal Length.
Now everything should work fine.Please let me know if it's ok .Any feedback it's very welcome!

Here is ver 1.3

Next version will support geometry , lights and nulls .
Hope soon to find some time to do it.


Delete the old version before install.

This version fixes padding issue with passes .The plugin was using the default XSI "#" now supports any padding.
