Templates

Biohazard Master Rev 01 — foundation
  • Baseline master graph for general VFX tasks
  • Balanced defaults for comp, color, and IO
  • Safe starting point for new shows and quick turnarounds
Biohazard Master Rev 02 — refined
  • Optimized node ordering and caching
  • Cleaner label/annotation system
  • LIGHT variant for rapid look-dev and previz
Covert Template — special-purpose
  • Alternate layout used on select spots
  • Keeps parity with Biohazard IO and color blocks

Quick Start

git clone https://git.biohazardvfx.com/BiohazardVFX/Nuke-Templates.git
  1. Open NukeX and load a template .nk as your starting script.
  2. Update project paths, write nodes, and show tags in the designated setup group.
  3. Save as your shot file; do not overwrite the master.

Conventions

  • Color Management — ACES-ready blocks; confirm show IDT/ODT in the config section.
  • IO — Write nodes named per show spec; versioned outputs .../renders/{shot}/{task}/v###.
  • Structure — Inputs → Prep → Comp → Look/FX → QC → IO.
  • Notes — Critical ops are annotated; use TODO tags for per-shot items.

Maintenance

  • Changes to masters require a new Rev directory and a short changelog in commit message.
  • Keep backup files (.nk~) out of delivery packages.
  • Report issues via internal tracker; attach script fragment or screenshot.
