nukeuuid

https://readthedocs.org/projects/nukeuuid/badge/?version=latest

A unique identifier library for Nuke. UUIDs are stored on nodes and therefore persist Nuke sessions. UUIDs can be used to track nodes throughout the compositing process.

Full Documentation

Installation

To install nukeuuid, type:

$ pip install nukeuuid

Open Nuke's init.py file and add:

nuke.pluginAddPath('/path/to/your/local/python/site-packages')

Getting Started

To get started with nukeuuid, type in the Nuke Script Editor:

import nukeuuid

Define a dictionary of UUIDs to be set, with the keys defining the UUID name and the values defining the UUID values.

kw = {'': 'fca7201e-b53d-4918-9ab0-bb4ec5590f3c',
      'utility': '5f2d525d-3e00-4bc5-88c4-794ad87f5699'}

To create and set the UUID attributes on a node (or a list of nodes), type:

nukeuuid.set_uuid(node, **kw)

To retrieve all nodes matching a specific UUID pattern, type:

kw = {'': 'fca7201e-b53d-4918-9ab0-bb4ec5590f3c',
      'utility': '5f2d525d-3e00-4bc5-88c4-794ad87f5699'}
matched_nodes = nukeuuid.get_nodes(**kw)
