KnobScripter 2.4 is a full Python script editor for Nuke that can script on .py files and python knobs, with all the functionality from the default script editor plus syntax helpers.
You can also find a video of the tool here and one with the v2.1 updates here.
- Full scripting mode for .py files. You can create, browse, modify or toggle between python files and folders.
- Node editing mode, to script directly on python buttons or callback knobs.
- Python output console: Same as the one from Nuke’s default script editor, where you can execute any code.
- Find-Replace. A proper find-replace widget as you’d expect in a python editor.
- Snippets! They are short codes you can assign to longer pieces of codes, so that by writing the short code and pressing tab you’ll get the long code.
- Python syntax highlighting, line numbers, auto-intending, auto-completer.
- Syntax helpers, multi-line commenting, moving/duplicating lines, and more!
- Copy the
KnobScripterfolder and paste it inside your .nuke directory. - Open the file
menu.pyinside your .nuke folder with a text editor, or create it if it doesn’t exist. - Add the following line:
import KnobScripter- Restart nuke.
- Replace the
KnobScripterfolder inside your .nuke directory. - Restart nuke.
In Nuke, you can open the KnobScripter both as a floating window or as a dockable pane.
- To open the KnobScripter as a floating window, simply press
Alt+Zon the Node Graph. - In order to bring the dockable pane you need to do the following:
Right click on the pane selection bar, and go to:
Windows -> Custom -> KnobScripter. Then, a KnobScripter pane will get created. Now you can even save the workspace, so the KnobScripter will be created by default when you open nuke.
