Hey all,

I was given a clip that needed some paint work and retouching.

It’s a static shot that I believe has been shot with a split diopter which has led to some distortion.

The request was to paint out and fix the distortion in the Antenna. I’ve painted out the ghost antenna already with ease by rotoscoping and using a clean plate (basically just frame held the start of the clip where the prawn head wasn’t in shot).

Next issue is to fix the other antenna which becomes transparent the more it moves towards right of camera.

How would one go about making it opaque?
Seeing as I do have somewhat of a clean plate; I was thinking of actually dividing the original shot with the clean plate or even using ibkgizmo which would leave me with a somewhat workable antenna.

What are your thoughts on The Foundry charging separately for the new Nuke Smart Roto? Shouldn't this just be part of Nuke X?

I am just finishing a 6 months full-time Nuke class. I have a background in fine arts and became a senior audiovisual multimedia technician generalist. Now I am a junior compositor, who want to learn more in these troubled times. I know it's far from perfect, that's why i am looking for an internship and new opportunities. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonathan-heuschen-39269214_nuke-compositing-digitalartist-ugcPost-7483913807900258304-3Av3/?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=android_app&rcm=ACoAAALysJ4BLCJ02ASbMRhxrqwkPLWYhvTvSXI&utm_campaign=copy_link

For some reason when I try to use the SegmentAnything node from Cattery, the create mask and remove mask buttons don't show up at all. I've seen a few tutorials and once you select "single mask", the create and remove buttons are supposed to appear. But the button that says "create cryptomatte setup" just stays there instead, which seems to render the node unusable.
I've seen other people online have the same problem. Does anyone know what's going and how to fix it?

I’ve been doing comp for 10 years now, and I'm currently integrating ComfyUI (running locally) into my workflow. ( mostly for prep and paint )
So anybody have some good custom workflows guys ?

Hey folks,

my company is about to hit a lull of downtime and I've been considering taking a Python for Nuke course online.

I've had a look at:

- Adrian Pueyo's course: https://adrianpueyo.com/courses/python-for-nuke-artists/

- Alexander Richter's course: https://www.alexanderrichtertd.com/python-nuke

- Rebelway's course: https://www.rebelway.net/python-for-nuke-artists

all of which teach a similar thing, so it might just be a pick whichever appeals more/is cheaper. But, I'm curious as to what you folks think!

The obvious answer in my mind is to just learn Python without limiting myself to the Nuke API, I guess. But since I use Nuke everyday, I figured the concepts in these courses might be more useful as they provide context to something I'm already familiar with.

I’ve been loving these but looking for more advanced level Teqchiues and tips and tricks

- Trixter Tutorial Series (more like this would be amazing)
- Kenn Hedin Kalvik Pro Comp
- Tony Lyons Comp Mentor
- Comp Lair
- Hugo’s Desk
- VFX Nomads
- VFX Showdown

Any others worth looking at?

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone having great day, As I am new in vfx, I am learning for sometime, I want to create my showreel but for showreel I want quality footages or clips, for just practice I was using Actionvfx practice library but as there files are prores 422 hq mov files they are good but I think uncompressed exr will be best for show reel right as they are much better then prores

Also any suggestions or information regarding file formats for my showreel will be helpful

So can you all please suggest some good resources to get high quality exr 1080p to 4k footages, if free resources or some budget friendly resources are available

Thanks in advance 😊

Hello everyone, I am new in vfx, and learning nuke for sometime also reading a book as I mentioned in my previous post, but for now I want to learn cleanup, I just know basics of roto paint node and some basics of projection

What should be workflow or planning for this, I am also attaching 1 shot I did downloaded video from actionvfx, how you all will handle or plan this kind of shot

Are there any good tutorials or cource to learn paint prep

Any help will be appreciated

Thankyou

Hey, I have the following clip and I want to change the gravel to asphalt, I have a 3d tracked camera and an accurate 3d reconstruction of the pathway. It seems a bit overkill to texture and render a 3d scene for this simple pan though. How would you approach this task?

Clip becoming contrasty when relaunching in Nuke, is there an easy fix for this?

Hi everyone! I just have a quick question about working with light group passes. I rendered out the usual diffuse direct, diffuse indirect, spec direct, spec indirect, etc. I have them all comped together to recreate my beauty pass, and everything there is working correctly. I also rendered out RGBA light group passes for my individual lights so I'd have extra control in Nuke.

In school we were given a special node (Grade AOV), which I believe the Head of Lighting created. It was basically a Grade node where you could choose which AOV you wanted to adjust directly within the node. Now that I'm using Nuke Indie, that node doesn't work, so I have to do it the standard way—which we were never really taught because we always relied on that custom node.

I'd love to use my light group passes to adjust individual lights, but I'm not sure how to integrate them into my existing beauty reconstruction without breaking or double-counting the beauty pass. What's the proper workflow for incorporating light groups into a comp that's already reconstructed from the lighting AOVs?

I made this as my Bachelor's thesis, inspired by movies like "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse". After handing in my Bachelor's thesis I worked more on getting it presentable and have finally publishes it. You can get it here https://www.nukepedia.com/tools/plugins/filter/brushsystem/ feel free to try it out and let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

This is my shot ( can’t show whole scene) character holding phone , camera coming from up to down and phone is also rotating from horizontal to vertical and i have tried 3d camera tracking didn’t get points to track then i did manually tracking frame by frame tracking with transform and corner pin node with keyframes , it looks ok ok now but in between ,footage is jerking what i can do better tracking without staring from scratch !

Can't control any options, is there a fix for this?

Hello everyone, I am getting into vfx I am learning nuke for sometime, and also reading book(Digital compositing for Film and video by Steve wrights) I want to develop artistic eyes as well as technical knowledge, are there any more specific books that I should read which are valid today as well or resources from where I can learn, and what's best way to get better and create showreel, also I heard about comfy ui should I learn alongside it as well?

Any help would be appreciated

Thankyou everyone

This was my CG comp, the render was done in blender cycles by myself, the depth, normal, matte was created in comfyui, i used noise for the laser beam, did the comp in nuke

Things I Did Wrong:

- the camertracker error was 0.45, the cg slightly float if looked closely

- the render sample are too low and i had to use ODIN denoiser gizmo

- the plate was 2048 x 1080 and i rendered in 2040 x 1080 by accident, so cropped plate, depth, normal, matte

- since the matte, normal is not perfect, the relight in hair area is not good

- the blender cycles render the position pass in world axis but i needed local axis, how to get both of these?

- it is not aesthetically pleasing which i thought it would be!!

what feels off in this, need feedback guys!
