Hey all,
This feels like it should be a simple question, but who knows, I’ve tried to get it working in the past and it obviously wasn’t as simple as I hoped it to be.
I would like to override the “W” hotkey in Nuke so that when my artists press “W”, it creates a Shotgun Write node instead of a normal Nuke Write node.
I’ve tried mapping it using the tk-nuke.yml menu_favourites block but I think I must have done something wrong…
Here is the code I had in tk-nuke.yml
# shot_step
settings.tk-nuke.shot_step:
apps:
tk-multi-loader2: "@settings.tk-multi-loader2.nuke.shot"
tk-nuke-writenode: "@settings.tk-nuke-writenode.shot"
menu_favourites:
- {app_instance: tk-nuke-writenode, hotkey: W, name: "Write Node [Shotgun]" }
- {app_instance: tk-multi-loader2, hotkey: R, name: Load... }
location: "@engines.tk-nuke.location"
And my corresponding tk-nuke-writenode.yml
# shot
settings.tk-nuke-writenode.shot:
template_script_work: nuke_shot_work
write_nodes:
- file_type: exr
name: Write Node
proxy_publish_template:
proxy_render_template:
publish_template: shot_render_publish_exr
render_template: shot_render_work_exr
settings:
datatype: 16 bit half
tank_type: Rendered Image
tile_color: []
promote_write_knobs: []
location: "@apps.tk-nuke-writenode.location"
I have removed the extra text in both of those files but based on that, there must be something silly that I am not doing, can anyone give me a hand on how they implemented the hotkey?
Thanks
-Alex
