Stamps Talk - with Alexandre Gaudiano

[@Maskl1n]

This was a great listen! Thanks for showing in detail the way you think about stamps. A great tool got even greater because of this! Also a conversational podcast about compositing is something that is sorely missing from the web landscape. Cheers

Great stuff, super insightful and informative! I feel that Stamps do get overlooked by many, so it was great that you guys went into detail. Cheers

Cool stuff! Stamps is an amazing tool to keep things simple and clean!!!

I don't understand everything yet, but there is a structure that I like. I will look at the video explanation about the STAMP. I only have non-commercial Nuke for the moment. But as soon I have a job with the complete license of Nuke. I will see how to use this usefully. Thank you for the sharing, such a rich and generous community. Really appreciated.

Tony, what's it the "Massive Panel Pyside" that I see on your nuke?

[@CompositingMentor]

It’s a nifty panel for quickly manipulating nodes with python. It’s made by Alexey Kuchinski, you can grab it from nukepedia

Really interesting way of comping - I will integrate this into my work. Also, silly question but how do u make ur backdrops but name them beforehand?

[@CompositingMentor]

There are many “autoBackdrop” tools out there on nukepedia and elsewhere. Mine is custom, from a few different tools spliced together. My special sauce is i am determining the size of the text based on how far apart nodes are in X in the nodegraph. So the farther apart in x your selection, the bigger the text. It’s not perfect, but saves me a lot of time. I have been meaning to completely polish the backdrop tool and make a nicer version for release. Maybe one day… 😅

@@CompositingMentor Ah okayy, I wasn't sure if it was a neat shortcut but this makes sense. I'll have a look on Nukepedia. Thanks Tony! Keep killing it XD

[@spenceringame960]

Is there a link to the video for the workshop you two are referencing that I can watch somewhere? The classic way of comping, the smart way, and the "sophisticated way"? I like the idea of that asset promotion, and I'm wondering what other gems i might be missing. Thanks!

Stamps are really a way to make things easier for people that don't know how to comp cleanely. There is never a good reason to do a hidden input instead of a clean line with a dot to create a corner.

[@CompositingMentor]

stick around for part 2! There are plenty of good reasons, and I lay all of them out in detail
