Stereo views
You have two Read nodes in the DAG, both representing the same image, but through a
different eye. For the most part, everything you will do to one of these images you will
also do to the other. For the illusion to work, both eyes need to feel like they are indeed
images seenfromtheaudience'sleftandrighteyes.Hencecolorcorrection applied toone
eye should also be applied to the other eye, for example.
Doing this can be very annoying, though, because you have to keep maintaining two trees
and copying nodes from one to the other—or it would be so if Nuke didn't have its Views
system.
Using Views, you can connect two Read nodes into one multi-view stream and from then
on build and manipulate only one tree. If you do need to work on just one view, you will
be able to do so per node—or if needed, split the tree in a specific point to its two views
and join them again later.
Let'sconnect the twoRead nodesinto onestream. But before that, youneed todefine this
project as a stereo multi-view project.
1. Press the S key to display the Project Settings panel.
2. Click the Views tab ( FIGURE 8.18 ) .
Figure 8.18. The current list of available views.
At the moment, only one view displays in the Views list: Main. That's normally
the case, but now you will replace that with two views called Left and Right. You
can do that manually using the + (plus) and − (minus) buttons at the top of the
list. However, since Left and Right views are the norm, a button at the bottom of
the list enables that as well.
3. Click the Set Up Views For Stereo button ( FIGURE 8.19 ).
