Environment Variables (2)

[twilightened]

Hi,

          I have a question. Are there environment variables in nuke that when set can give a uniform setting across the network. For example. Maya has MAYA\_SCRIPT\_PATH. This path when holds a file usersetup.mel. It first runs commands from here when a maya session is opened. Likewise, I need to know if nuke has some variable to do a similar job.

BRgds,

you can use the variable NUKE_PATH on every machine to tell Nuke about custom plugin directories.
In that custom location you can use files called init.py and menu.py to add more source directories and customize settings, interface etc.
I personally recommend using the NUKE_PATH to point to the base location(s) and using the init.py in there to source any sub directories to keep your files in order (rather than dumping them all into one location).

The init.py will be read first everytime Nuke starts while the menu.py will only be sourced for an interactive session (i.e. not for command line renders).

Check out the chapter "configuring nuke" in the manual for some more details.
