Nuke to Hydra

This project implements a Hydra scene delegate for Nuke's 3D system, as well as ops to facilitate rendering 3D scenes using available Hydra render delegates.

Building

The Nuke Hydra plug-in has the following dependencies:

• Compiler requirements are as for all Nuke NDK plugins.
• Nuke (13.0v3 onwards)
• USD (https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/USD/releases/tag/v20.08) (20.08 onwards)
• Boost (https://boost.org) (1.70.0 onwards)
• CMake (https://cmake.org/documentation/) (3.13 onwards)
• [Recommended build tool] Ninja (https://ninja-build.org/) (1.8.2 onwards)
• [Only if building with unit tests] Catch2 (https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2)
  • The unit tests are disabled by default. Enable them by setting the CMake option BUILD_HDNUKE_UNITTESTS=ON.

After that, building should be pretty simple:

cmake \
-GNinja \
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<YOUR_INSTALL_PREFIX> \
-D Nuke_ROOT=<YOUR_NUKE_INSTALL_ROOT> \
-D PXR_USD_LOCATION=<YOUR_USD_INSTALL_ROOT> \
<SOURCE_DIR>

ninja install

If you need to specify where some of the USD dependencies are located, or if they are not being found properly, try setting some of these CMake variables as needed:

• TBB_ROOT_DIR
• BOOST_ROOT
• CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
