Anisotropic Kuwahara Filter for Painterly Looks in Nuke

[@derekfloodVFX]

Another tip that works well with masking: scale the image RGB 50%, kuwahara it, then scale it back up. Keep the mask at the original scale.

Epic work!

Hello. I am new to VFX and I would like to ask you how do you do in Nuke the "transition" of before and after of some node effect? You show this for example 1:16 when you show before/after filter effect and you move some kind of cursor. Only way I can see before/after is de-activating the node and this could be very helpful to me. THanks for the video!

This is done by setting the viewer to do an A/B wipe.

Hi Deker, amaizing tool ! So, I had problem with df_kuwaharaAnisotropic.cpp. The error says: error running kernel. This happened when I start render or EXR or mov. Have you ever had a similar error? I'm using Nuke 15.1v1. Thanks!

[@derekfloodVFX]

@@isaacbuzzola7935 yes that seems to happen occasionally. One thing that helps is to have another node between the kuwahara and the write node

I would like to try which nuke version is comfortable for it?

BlinkScript is disabled in the Non-commercial version of Nuke, but it should work in any commercial version.
