This Python code is based on the existing
https://learn.foundry.com/nuke/developers/63/pythondevguide/flipbook.html
documentation.
I've modified the syntax where it intermittently didn't work in Nuke 14 and later to make it work in Nuke 14-15.
- Import
rv_flipboo 7AEC k.pyin the./nukefolder - Add the following code to
menu.py
import nuke
import nukescripts
import os
try:
import rv_flipbook
nuke.tprint("RV Flipbook Loaded Successfully!")
except Exception as e:
nuke.tprint(f"Error loading RV Flipbook: {e}")- Set the path and environment variables in Windows
Reference Links : https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm - Add the following path to the Path entry in System Variables:
C:\Program Files\Shotgun\RV-7.1.1\bin
IMPORTANT: The path above refers to the path to the RV currently installed on your computer.
If you are using Open RV or a different version of RV, you will need to change it to the installed path for it to work.
If the installed RV version is different or the installed path is different, you must change the entry in line 10 of rv_flipbook.py
self._rvPath = "C:/Program Files/Shotgun/RV-7.1.1/bin/RV.exe"
to the correct path.
- You must distinguish between the path syntax “/” in rv_flipbook.py and the path “\” in Windows.
Nuke | 14 v4 ~ 15.1 v5
Windows 10 ~ 11
⚠️ Not supported on Mac.
Or may not work on untested environments (e.g. nuke 13 or lower).
With the Read node selected, press Alt+F, select RV in the Flipbook window, and then press OK. RV will run in flipbook mode and work.
Tip: To check the comp you worked on, it is recommended to render it in advance and use it.
You can use it on nodes other than the Read node, but it will take caching time.
As shown in the image above, caching time is required.
If you encounter any bugs or parts that do not work while using it, please contact us at the email address below along with the version of Nuke and Windows you are using.
Thank you
