I love it, just nodes and shortcuts, like Nuke.

Although I do wish you could have a floating viewer like Nuke, and just press a shortcut to hide or show it.

hi niel,
im also a long time XSI user
you can right click on a sop node and choose preview window. that will open as psuedo 3d view of your object in chain.

you can also map the parameters option to a hotkey so you have a floating window just like xsi.
i also made a python for opening and closing nuke paramter window so i feel at home.

best of luck

Hi

That sounds good, do you have a script to quickly open a floating viewport and / or a parameters window from the network view?

If yes - please can you share?

Alt+Shift+C will tear of a COPY of THE PANE that is under your mouse.

This works on panes so you may want to have your parameter view as a pane available rather than the popup approach (pressing p)

There are other shortcuts to remember.

Alt+Shift+F
Alt+Shift+W
Alt+Shift+P
Alt+Shift+T

Yeah they are good ones - Cheers Jordi

assigning an hotkey to

the “parameters” option, available on
- the context menu/geometry on 3dview
- the context menu on a network view

Enables you to lock parameters panes and mimics SI workflow. Theses multi floating opened PPG panes are so usefull for lookdev ;-)

late reply Neil but anyways

yah thats pretty much how i work i houdini
map a hotkey in houdini/panes/networkeditor/nodemenu/parameters

and also to the network view counterpart.

and also you can use this simple python script in nuke
copy and paste it in you .nuke/menu.py

change the \\ in the last part to \hotkey you desired

#Add Control Panel Toggle

#Toggle Control Panel
def controlPanelToggle():
n = nuke.selectedNodes()
for i in n:
ntoggle = i.shown()
if (ntoggle == True):
i.hideControlPanel();
if (ntoggle == False):
i.showControlPanel();

nuke.menu('Nuke').addCommand('Edit/Node/ControlPanelToggle', ‘controlPanelToggle()’,'\\')
