GJ Maya - Nuke Versioning

Hi all,

I'm working on a new python script which allows the user to increment output folder in maya for versioning.
The script works by Maya project it changes the image output folder according to the version you created / selected in the UI.

The first part of the script is available for testing ( see bellow, in beta ), I'm working on the Nuke side, which will allow the user to update reader nodes according to versions setuped in Maya. More informations soon.

Download the script for Maya ( right clic: Save as )

To use it, open it with script editor in maya. You can drag and drop it on a shelf.

Features:

- Creation of "normal" version automatically ( v_00, v_01, v_02, etc. )
- Creation of custom name version
- Delete version / make a new version as current version
- Display the current project name and version in a Head up display

GJ Auto Rim Light

Here is a quick gizmo for nuke, in fact, a simplified version of the "AutoRelight" Gizmo, this one allow you to create quicly a rimLight in comp, you just need to plug a point pass and a normal pass in the node, and enjoy !

You can also plug a ambiant occlusion pass as well as an ID pass in order to mask the effect.
