Math makes my brain hurt...

CurveCreator

CurveCreator

Expression curves are very powerful tools for any VFX artist to have. The problem with them though is that they’re really freaking complicated mathematically! So instead of having to memorize countless equations, to make things easier for artists everywhere I’ve bundled a stock pile of handy dandy preset waveforms into this tool, the CurveCreator.

This Nuke gizmo makes it a piece of cake to quickly create various types of waves, adjust them to your liking, and then bake out the generated expression curves into keyframes to be used wherever you’d like in Nuke.

Does this sound like something that’ll make your day a little easier? Then go ahead and download it now!

A very special thank you to David Emeny for posting on his personal website the waveform expression templates and gizmo, “WaveMaker” that this tool’s “Seeds” are based on.

As well as a thank you to Nathan Rusch for a wonderfully written paper on Nukepedia detailing Nuke’s built in “Generate” function  and code to implement the “Bake Curve”  button.
