It is time to post a new tutorial, and this time I want to give you some tips on doing customization for a better workflow.

The first thing I will explain is the way how you set up your own plugins folder. When you have installed Nuke, you will find a folder called plugins where a file called init.tcl is stored. Open this file in a texteditor and add the following command:
plugin_addpath “/Users/myname/nuke_plugins”

myname should be replaced with your username of course! and if you are on a windows system, then add the drive letter also, but be sure to use / and no backspace !! Now create the folder called nuke_plugins in the right place, and then create a new menu.tcl file in your text editor and store it inside your nuke_plugins folder. You have now told Nuke to look into your “nuke_plugins” folder everytime it is run, and you can simply place every plugin or gizmo inside your selfmade folder and access it via your own menu.tcl.
