This is an extensive Nuke Compositing course on CGI(ComputerGenerated Imagery)compositing inside of Nuke from an Industry Professional with years of Hollywood feature film experience.
Why learn from this course?
This course is providing a CGI render, footage, and all of the elements necessary to composite a CG shot. It is difficult to find high quality courses on the internet for a good price to learn this set of skills, and a course equivalent to this would cost $1000 or more from a VFXuniversity. Not only are you receiving all of these elements whichAlex has specifically created for this course, you will be guided by an industry professional who has worked at the top visual effects studios in the world. This is a major bargain and extremely great opportunity for someone who wants to learn to become a compositor.
Your instructor has worked on feature films such as:
Star Wars:The Rise ofSkywalker
Avengers:Endgame
X-Men Apocalypse
The Mandalorian
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them
....And many more.
What is this class about?
You will learn CGcompositing techniques, up to an intermediate level, as well as advanced color grading techniques.By the end of this course, you will have successfully composited a fake render seamlessly into the real world.
First, what do I need to know entering this course?:
1. A basic understanding of Nuke and Nuke's interface (Taught Alex'sUdemy class,NK101).
2. Knowledege about the basic nodes in nuke, and beginner level color correction concepts (Taught Alex'sUdemy class,NK101).
3.Beginner level knowledge on the 3d system in Nuke(Taught Alex'sUdemy class,NK202).
What skills will I learn?
CGCompositing SoftSkills(Understanding the basics of lighting, shadows, reflections, and other physical properties of the real world)
Multi-pass CGcompositing:Learning how to break a render into layers and control individual elements
GradingCG to match real world footage
Using "utility" passes to enhance a CGrender
Creating light effects and glows based off of luminance keys andID mattes
Creating particle rain with light interaction
Creating fake refractions inside of Nuke
Projecting color grade mattes to adjust the look of a scene
Artistic grading concepts and compositional lighting techniques
Using mathematical expressions to generate 3d noise patterns
Extra techniques and tricks along the way
What projects do I get to work on in this course?:
There's only one project, but it's a very long one.You will composite a Porsche 911 into a real scene. You will start with a CGI render that is provided to you, but your job will be to make it look photorealistic. Of course, Alex will teach you how to achieve this!
These techniques are absolutely vital to learn if you wish to pursue becoming a better compositor.Knowing whereI was whenI started, I would have jumped on this class in a heartbeat as the knowledge being conveyed is from actual experience.
Who this course is for:
Beginners / Intermediate users learning Nuke but already have a foundational understanding of the 2d and 3d system in nuke
People who have already takenNK101 andNK202, my previous classes
Individuals looking for a deeper education in Compositing for a very good price
