This is a group effort in third year's dynamic class, blowing something up!

Installing DroidCam on CentOS 7

Nuke 11 Frame Server setup
Recently I was working on a short film called "June", directed by actor/director Dwayne Cameron. In short we're working on 4K plates and the render farm software in the facility is under maintenance. Looking at 2 - 4 hours of render time I just ran out of patience. So I've…

Nuke Execute with Command Prompt
This is a little side project I worked on during my second year in Media Design School. My lecturer, Ryan Mullany mentioned that Nuke can potentially render faster without its graphic interface running, thus the idea of sending the execution command to another terminal. So I worked with him to…
