Catch problems before render

All 9 checks run simultaneously in background threads — your Nuke UI never freezes. Each issue has a Focus button that selects the node and zooms to it in the DAG.

  • Oversized bounding boxes
  • Expression errors
  • Missing Read files & orphan nodes
  • Duplicate node names & missing plugins
  • Focus button zooms to issue in DAG

Installation

Up and running in 3 steps

No build step. Files load directly at Nuke startup.

1

Extract the zip

Unzip CompoLink_vX.X.X.zip and copy the CompoLink/ folder into your ~/.nuke/ directory.

2

Register the panel

Add the following lines to your ~/.nuke/menu.py (already included in the zip):

import sys, os
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.expanduser("~/.nuke/CompoLink/python"))
import CompoLinkMainWidget
CompoLinkMainWidget.add_compolink_pane()
3

Activate your license

Launch Nuke. A dialog will prompt for your username and license key from Gumroad. Enter them once — CompoLink activates and remembers your config in ~/.nuke/CompoLink/config.json.
