Nuke is where I live. The rest I reach for when a shot needs it

Small Python utilities, hand written years ago and still in my daily kit. Nobody asked me to write any of them. The best ones only make sense inside the show they were written on, so these are the shareable slice.

Built as groups for easy multi-artist sharing and render farm compatibility. Open one for the detail
Works with a de-grained plate and automatically adds it back post-effect. Supports multiple mask inputs a "K" input or keyer helps hold detail like eyebrows while addressing skin inconsistencies. Options to add detail back after the initial filter size is chosen. Simple but powerful: delicate to heavy.
Outputs a random number with controls for amplitude, frequency range and seed. Pairs well with the gizmo below wire a few of these into its key properties and it drives itself.
Many organic and digital patterns emerge from it. Wire a few random number generators into key properties and you're set for automagical awesomeification.
