Taught by Sean Devereaux, this course will get you up and running on version 4.7 of The Foundry's Nuke compositing software. The software will be available over the VPN to fxphd posgrads for non-commercial use (OSX, Linux, and Windows versions).

 

This course reviews the Nuke 6.3 tools and performance enhancements that make keying, motion tracking, color correction, and 3D compositing
in Nuke more powerful than ever. Author Steve Wright covers the introduction of 3D particles, the enhanced spline and grid warping, the
all-new planar tracker, an audio scratch track for matching audio cues to effects, and a briefing on deep compositing, the powerful new method
of working with deep images.Nuke 6.3 New Features was created and produced by Steve Wright. We are honored to host his material in the lynda.com library.

In this Maya tutorial we will approach lighting for two scenes with an eye towards efficiency and creative thinking. These lessons will guide you through lighting for sets and characters in two scenes: one interior and one exterior. Lighting and rendering are often the biggest bottleneck for student and independent productions and can grind a project to a halt. In these lessons we'll focus on the tools and techniques that will help your lighting stay lean without sacrificing quality. Along the way we'll learn about the tools, techniques, and terminology used in character lighting

This video was created to help compositors learn how to manage the current 3D Shading and Lighting system inside of the Nuke Compositing application. Built by user request, many Nuke users realized that procedural shading networks inside of Nuke have the capabilities of 3D shading systems found in traditional 3D Animation packages. This video will teach you how to use them!

In this in-depth training video you will learn, step-by-step, to create perfect mattes from green/blue screen footage (process screens) in Nuke. You will learn to use multiple keying approaches that will prepare you for any shot, and the various challenges that inevitably arise. You will learn proven ways to fix problems, such as preserving hair detail and removing color spill from process screens. Color spill is almost always a problem and dealing with it is one of the most important aspects of integrating your process screen elements into a shot. After learning these techniques Nuke will become an indispensible solution for even the most challenging keying and channel operations.

 

This is a Nuke junior/mid compositor level. Hugo teach how to use the reconcile 3d node. Then stylish a 3d render from 3Dmax with lights and flares using the data fron the reconcile 3d node. Enjoy.

Professor Russell Dodgson will be throwing you in the deep end with a 10 week look at a full stereo production exercise. Based around the presentations from the Foundry’s recent Masterclass, Dodgson will be examining the project in intricate depth taking students from a raw plate through a variety of stereo production techniques including Ocula, Camera Projection, UV Mapping, Keying, 3d Texture Painting for compositors, Camera Tracking, Depth Grading and of course… clean up.
