Special Thanks

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the entire Nuke Compositing Community, and all of the various artists who have made and shared a gizmo online, and donated a piece of their knowledge, experience, and hard work to making this community better.

Nukepedia is an amazing website that many of us take for granted just how powerful it is for all of us to be able to gather, share, explore, and create new tools and techniques. Thank you to the founders of Nukepedia for providing over 10 years of gizmos, tutorials, and scripts for all of us to play with.

This Toolkit is in no way trying to "steal the thunder of", undermine, or "re-distribute" the various gizmo's through another website. I have done my best to document, link to, and credit every single tool and author to the best of my knowledge, and fully encourage anyone who wants to know more to explore their websites, and click on the links in the tools to check for updates and more details and support the authors of the tools. My goal was to simply bring the tools together in a single organized menu, so that anyone could download, install, and access a library of tools at their fingertips. Full credits belong to the authors; this toolkit would not exist without their contribution.

Also, this toolkit is just a small collection of the thousands of tools available on nukepedia and online. It is not a reflection of "the best" tools. The tools selected on this menu are subjectively picked by myself because I found them useful and unique. There are many tools that I either missed, overlooked, or simply tried to condense the categories, but are no doubt just as valuable or more valuable to another artist out there. I encourage you to explore more tools and not to take this as an "end all be all". Some tools will fit your workflow better than someone else's workflow, and it's up to you to find your "go-to" tools for a compositing situation. You may consider this a "rough guide" or good starting point in your search. And many in here you may not personally find a use for.

Contributors

In particular, I'd like to personally thank a few of my favorite contributors:

And a very special thank you Adrian Pueyo, for helping come up with the vision for this Toolkit with me back in 2019, for allowing me to post all of his amazing tools in this toolkit, for teaching, inspiring, and encouraging me to get better at coding and gizmo creation to the point where I am confidently able to deliver to everyone the Nuke Survival Toolkit.

You all drive me to be a better artist, and I am very honored to be part of this community with you. Thank you.
