Details
Auto run .nk as NukeX (Windows registry key)
When opening a Nuke script, automatically run it as NukeX.
AlignDots (Python)
This will align all selected dots with their input and output node, effectively placing them in a straight corner.
Running this script multiple times will make the dot switch between possible positions.
Keyboard shortcut: alt+shift+z
(can be changed in the menu.py file!)
Breakdown_Maker (Gizmo)
Quickly make a customizable breakdown that plays the shot while the layers are wiping sequentially.
CardInFrustum (Python)
Make a card that is oriented towards the selected camera node, and fit it in its frustum. Can be expression-linked, or placed on one frame.
CloseAllProperties (Python)
Closes all property boxes at once (especially useful if you like to use floating windows).
Keyboard shortcut: \
(can be changed in the menu.py file!)
CycleOperations (Python)
Scrolls through the possible operations on selected nodes. Works with nodes like Merge, ChannelMerge, Keyer, Shuffle, and others.
Keyboard shortcut: alt+w, and alt+shift+w for backwards scroling
(can be changed in the menu.py file!)
DotConnect (Python)
A keyboard shortcut to auto-connect in/out dots with the same label, using hidden pipes.
Keyboard shortcut: alt+shift+c
(can be changed in the menu.py file!)
GoToDirectory (Python)
Keyboard shortcut to open the folder of the path currently on the clipboard.
If a Read or Write node is selected, it opens that folder instead.
Keyboard shortcut: alt+shift+r
(can be changed in the menu.py file!)
GrayAutoBackdrop (Python)
Modified version of Nuke’s AutoBackdrop script – it makes a gray backdrop around the selected nodes, and gives you a dialog box for the label text.
Stacked backdrops will be darker, and the backdrops are slightly bigger. Also does stickynotes, if no nodes are selected.
If you often make backdrops with labels, this will save you some time.
Keyboard shortcut: alt+b
(can be changed in the menu.py file!)
MergeConnect (Python)
Select merge nodes and nodes to connect to them as their ‘A’ input, and all selected nodes will be connected to their respective Merge nodes – with a dot in a straight corner!
Keyboard shortcut: shift+y
(can be changed in the menu.py file!)
NukeShared (Python)
Automatically load plugins in Nuke when they’re placed in the right folder. Can also be used as a plugin repository on a server.
Offbranch (Python)
Moves the selected node over to a side-stream of its pipe.
Keyboard shortcut: shift+g
(can be changed in the menu.py file!)
QuickShortcutEditor (Python)
Quickly change keyboard shortcuts for all nuke nodes or menu items.
SetLoop (toolset, python)
Loop nodes an amount of times, like an image solver/iterator. Useful when, for instance, rendering fractals or reaction diffusion in Nuke.
ShiftRGB (C++ example project)
Tutorial for setting up the Nuke NDK using Visual Studio and writing/compiling a basic plugin.
SmoothScrub (Python)
Smooth scrubbing in Nuke’s viewer by playing back at 0fps. Odd performance hack. Also scrubbing anywhere in viewer instead of just on the timeline.
WordArt 1997 (toolset)
A few of Microsoft Office’s amazing text designs – now available for Nuke.
WrapItUp (Python)
Collect all media, gizmos and other necessary files to make a Nuke script work, and copy it to one specific folder.
Features: auto-relinking, checks for duplicates, a command-line interface, a nice user interface when run in Nuke.
RATConvert (Python, shelf tool)
Batch-convert and relink textures from path parameters to RAT files, using iconvert.
Works with UDIMs.
Install the shelf tool by placing it in $HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR/toolbar/
and adding it to a shelf using right click > ‘Edit Shelf Tab…’ > ‘Tools’.
(Or make a new shelf tool and add the Python script to it.)
SpeechToImageSearch (.toe file, Python)
Uses Microsoft Azure speech services to search for Google/Internet Archive images in realtime.
Also has a nice rainbow text.
BooleanBatch (MEL)
Batch the boolean command for one object with all selected objects.
Example: Subtract one object from many others without merging them.
RandUV (MEL)
Randomly scatter the UVs of all selected objects within variable maximum bounds.

An asset that adds butterflies to your scene.
If the device has Lidar capabilities, the butterflies can land on the world mesh.

OBJBuilder (Lens Studio, Python)
A Python script that converts .obj models to JavaScript files for Lens Studio’s MeshBuilder.
Radial Menu (Lens Studio Project, JavaScript)
An easy setup to create Radial Menus in AR.
