Nukepedia:
An object tracker node by KeenTools
Neat stuff. The test for tools like this is always "what would this made easier/possible a year ago?" Some situations come to mind.

Mads:
It was quite fun to see that 2 days after publishing the CubeKeyer post Nuke 10 was announced with a keyer for NukeStudio. And since Nuke 10 is so close, i don’t see a reason to release mine.
I totally disagree. I think Mads should release his version of the CubeKeyer. Mads thanks for a GrainChecker. Even the artist with the most keen eye cannot match grain to save there lives. Even with the Regrain node in NukeX, most artists don't even know it's wrong.

Mads:
Two weeks ago i finished a small feature film project, with 50% of the VFX work being greenscreen shots. And there I realised that it is a bit of a shame that Nuke Studio does not have a keyer. Sitting in the timeline environment trying to figure if the shot is going to work or not. This usually ends up in having to go from real-time land, into comp land, which can be a bit tricky when dealing with 8 minute plates. And just the convinience of being able to get a rough idea of how its going to look and aid clients who can’t abstract from greenscreen temps.
Anyone who says client services aren't important are not hooked up right. It's why producers are paid so much. Another awesome entry from Mads.
Flare →
Madds:
I am a huge fan of Dog Schidt Optiks. The strange optical artifacts and unique flaring gives these lenses character. And most of these artifacts are incredibly hard to replicate in post which makes them just that more interesting. If you look at a video like Richard Gale’s festival of 50mm lenses you get a good sense of what this is all about.
Lens flares? They are kind of the joke in VFX. Never the less they happen. Every lens if different.
Lue for Nuke →
Mads first started talking about Lue for Nuke in June of 2015. It sounded and looked really cool. On the 18th of Oct he released it in its current state. I have been playing with it for the past few days and I find it very powerful, like having a merge node with all the math in one node it's nice to have all the image editing math in one node as well.
Thanks Mads.

Sometimes the defaults are not the right ones. Here is a good way to change them.
Scripts of Another Dimension →
Nuke or Fusion or any other nodebased application, it's always fun to have a look at other peoples scripts. It's crazy how our minds work.

Stickit in Nuke 10? →
Mads Hagbarth:
Shortly after releasing the first demo of Stickit, i got a little note from “someone” at “some big company” that TheFoundry had privately demoed something that looks a lot like Stickit but using Ocula tech.
Mr. Hagbarth I have said this to you before, I love your ideas and tools. If you havn't checked out stickit or any of Mads tools you should.
