Nuke Python Temp

Switch off heavy nodes

Simple

Will toggle on/off all the nodes in the list

disableList = ['Defocus' , 'VectorBlur', 'iBlur', 'Convolve', 'MagicDefocus.gizmo']

toggle = -1
nodes = nuke.selectedNodes()
if not nodes:
    nodes = nuke.allNodes()
for n in nodes:
    if n.Class() in disableList:
        if toggle == -1:
            toggle = 1.0 if n['disable'].getValue() == 0.0 else 0.0
        n['disable'].setValue(toggle)

More Subtle

Creates a switch control linking either to disable knobs or multiplies a value by the switch node (like the Transform's 'motionblur' knob). Because how the fuck did the Foundry not add that by default ? Right now still WIP because it fucks up when i delete it.TBD

# this will create a global control switch to enable/disable 'slow' nodes
# or 'disable' knobs by multiplying them by the switch value 
slownodes = {
    'Transform':'motionblur',
    'MagicDefocus.gizmo':'disable'
    }
