Blocky - mosaic effect in nuke

If someone needed a mosaic filter in nuke, no need to turn to 3rd party plugins, or doing resizes, it's right there. Just have to load it, because it's hidden by default. It's called blocky. You can load it in your custom menu.py, by adding these lines, for example:

nuke.load('Blocky')
menubar = nuke.menu("Nuke")
m = menubar.addMenu("Custom")
m.addCommand("Blocky", "nuke.createNode(\"Blocky\")", "",)

    1. Hi, in your custom menu.py. For example in you user folder (on windows: users/[username])there should be a .nuke folder, where you can create a menu.py file, and write these lines in it to load this extra tool.

    2. So if you want to use a mask to region that mosaic? how you can do it?

    3. Just use keymix with the original using a mask

  2. You saved the day! Thanks for this! Why the heck don't they just include this in the filter menu?

  3. You can also go in the normal menu, go to "other" and "all plugins" and just click on update. you'll get all the options of past pluggins when you search.
