A simple custom made gizmo for various default UVMaps for STMapping, this gizmo does allow you to create UVMap in all available project formats. A nice time saver in my opinion. Not the only gizmo, nor the last one to ever do something similar.

Language: Python

This script automatically parses Nuke Ascii track files and creates CornerPin node with settable reference frame and option to calculate animated matrix.

Language: Python, TCL

This gizmo creates 4 point color gradient, derived from pixels it sits on. Helps you create a quick patch over homogenous areas of the picture. Especially effective on walls, skies etc.

A tool that simulates a simple water reflection of a mattepainting we had for a ships in the background. This scripts combines controlled noise and linear sinusoid animation of lines which distorts a UVmap, although very simple in concept, results were pretty solid for our project.

I had a great opportunity to describe my work on VFX for Michiel de Ruyter in great detail. Thanks to provided work assets from ProgressiveFX.
