Problem summary
Nuke 11 cannot write single view with frame server in a stereo setup
For example, you cannot render stereo views through the Frame Server.
Customer reported version
nuke.11.0v1
Customer reported platform
n_a_linux
Steps to reproduce
1) Open Nuke with a New Script
2) Go to "
Project Settings (Keyboard Shortcut 'S' ) -> Views"
3) In the Views tab, press the 'Set up views for stereo' button
4) Copy Paste the below script:
set cut_paste_input [stack 0]
version 11.0 v1
CheckerBoard2 {
inputs 0
name CheckerBoard1
selected true
xpos -36
ypos -122
}
Write {
file C:/temp/006/TestImage_####.jpg
views {right}
file_type dpx
checkHashOnRead false
name Write1
selected true
xpos -36
ypos -50
}
5) Render the Write Node using the Frame Server/Background Render
Result)
Nuke11: The script will post an exception message, which cancels the render.
Older Nuke Versions: The script will background render as expected.
Workaround
Add the view shortcut to your Write Output's filename.
You can put the view in your File output two separate ways:
Lowercase '%v' :
/File/Path/TestImage.%04d.%v.jpg -> /File/Path/TestImage.0000.L.jpg
Uppercase '%V':
/File/Path/TestImage.%04d.%V.jpg -> /File/Path/TestImage.0000.Left.jpg
