Nuke's Nukenodes product type odd behaviour

Hey! I’m playing around with the publishing and loading of Nukenodes to test out more advanced templated workfiles

I’ve noticed that the target Nukenodes having a connected input or output results in really strange behaviour on publish

Here’s what happens when the Nukenodes have no connections

The target nodes:

When loaded in normally:

When loaded in through a placeholder:

The above all function as expected
And here’s what happens when the Nukenodes do have connections

The target nodes:

When loaded in normally:

When loaded in through a placeholder:

I’m assuming this issue is being created on publish, has anyone encountered this before or created a workaround?

is this related to workfile template builder feature ? or other feature ?

could you reflect that in your post’s title ?


sorry, I don’t have much knowledge in Nuke…
is the issue related to wrong connections or it’s just weird node position/place ?

hey! I think this is a combination of two problems:

  • The Publisher adds extra unnecessary dot nodes

  • The Loader has no support for connecting inputs and outputs

sorry, I don’t seem to be able to update the post’s title :frowning:

feel free to tell me and I’ll update it for you.

if you are able to write a reproducible steps we’ll be able to move it to nuke addon’s issues.
