Open the Tutorial Project File

The “3Dinteg_tutor.nk” project file includes the node trees for the first part of this chapter.

To Open the Project File

1.   Launch the Nuke application and choose File > Open from the menu bar.
2.   In the file browser, navigate to your Nuke_Tutorials/3DInteg/ folder, select the 3dinteg_tutor.nk project file and click Open.
3.   Locate the Tutorial_Path node, on the left side of the script, and double-click it to open its control panel.

4.   Click the “file folder” button. Browse to the location where you installed the tutorial project files, and then click Open to select the location.

After you select the correct path, the error messages should clear from the Read nodes, and the thumbnails in the script update with the correct images.

5.   Close the Tutorial_Path control panel. Then, choose File > Save As to save a copy of the project file.
6.   Move the mouse pointer over the Node Graph, and press F to frame the entire contents of the project file.

The green arrows (lines) show the links between the Tutorial_Path node and the Read nodes.

7.   If you wish, press Alt+E to hide the expression arrows.

The Tutorial_Path node saves the location of the project files on your computer, so you don’t need to repeat this for future sessions with this project file.
