openNuke Toolkit Docs

• The openNuke Toolkit is a collection of common tools for Nuke. - It is indended for freelancers working at vendors that dont have theses normal extra tools.
• This is a repository of nuke tools collected from the internet that have an open commercial licence. (many are from Nukepedia)
• Code must include : author name; dateCreated; source link; licence link.
• All nodes/code has no dependencies outside this toolkit folder. So when a script is opened in nuke in a different enviroment it will still work. (i.e. on a different machienes or the farm)
• All code has been checked for bad channels, malicious intent and privacy invasion.
• There is a loader UI that loads all the tools inside nuke from this web repository or from local disk.
