The ability to move any action to a button that appears near your cursor saves you a trip to the other side of your screen and back pretty often.īesides that I use it a lot to automate repetitive tasks and actions I would otherwise probably not have taken time for at all.

The hotbox while having a Merge node selected:įor me it changed the way I interact with Nuke completely and it sped up my workflow quite a bit. You have the option to create buttons that either show up when specific node (combinations) are selected, as well as buttons that will show up no matter what is currently selected. Those buttons are directly accessible via buttons that appear in the menu under your cursor. The 'Hotbox Manager' offers you an user friendly interface which allows you to add new buttons on the fly. The buttons that make up the menu represent python scripts and change depending on you selection. W_hotbox is basically a fully customisable ‘favourites menu’ that pops up for as long as you press the shortcut and disappears as soon as you release. A hotbox for Nuke similar to the one found in Autodesk Maya.
