Motion Media & renowned NUKE Trainer Steve Wright head to SEATTLE on Feb. 10th, 2012 to bring you this unique Friday class that will explore and demonstrate the key features of Nuke as compared to After Effects, and equip attending artists with a basic understanding of Nuke’s powerful workflow.
Nuke has become the power driver of visual effects compositing today and is now used in virtually all the major studios around the world. However, there are thousands of digital artists using After Effects for their visual effects shots. While AE is a venerable compositing program with a long line of loyal users, when it comes to complex vfx shots Nuke’s node-based compositing approach is faster and therefore a more cost effective tool for visual effects shots. In this class we will see why it is that Nuke performs highly complex tasks faster and with unmatched feature film quality while addressing the following topics:
- What is node-based compositing
- Getting Familiar with the Nuke GUI
- Why Nuke’s 32 bit color space creates superior quality
- Color correcting tools that make the shot
- The power of an integrated 3D compositing environment
- Working with multichannel EXR images
- Working with High Dynamic Range images
- The joy of an integrated stereo workflow
- What is NukeX: camera tracker and Furnace Core plugins
