The virtual studio where compositors meet, share nodes, and challenge each other — inside Nuke and in the browser.
The main stage
A persistent shared space where compositors gather in real time. Drop nodes, join rooms, chat, challenge each other — all from your browser.
A matchmaking hub where experienced compositors mentor newcomers. Register as a mentor or seeker, tag your skills — the Forge connects you. Live mentorship sessions, right on the canvas.
A mini compositor built into the browser. Community members create challenges with constraints — limited nodes, specific tasks. Submit your comp, vote for the best, climb the leaderboard.
A community-powered library of Nuke snippets, expressions, and presets. Browse, share, and learn from the collective knowledge of the compositing community.
A hub for live events, presentations, and demos. Schedule a breakdown, host a masterclass, or just watch and learn. The Stage brings the community together around shared moments.
Every act of generosity in CompoLink — sharing nodes, mentoring, helping — earns karma that plants real trees through Tree-Nation. Watch the community forest grow on the canvas.
Inside Nuke
A dockable panel that lives inside Nuke. See who's online, share nodes instantly, run diagnostics, and access contextual tools.
Every compositor using CompoLink appears in the Pulse table. Status updates in real time — green for Active, orange when someone needs help. Send node setups in one click.
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.
Installation
No build step. Files load directly at Nuke startup.
Unzip CompoLink_vX.X.X.zip and copy the CompoLink/ folder into your ~/.nuke/ directory.
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()
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.
