NUKE 12.2 Practice Hour

11. December 2020 By admin

Today I have finished the first module of our „Nuke Practice Hour“ with the last tutorial about Linear Color, 32Bit Floats and EXRs in Foundry Nuke 12.2. The title of this Module is “Let’s start in NUKE 12.2“ and I have covered the most important concepts you have to learn when starting with node-based Compositing in NUKE.

Thanks a lot for all the positive feedback.

The next module will follow soon 🙂

01 Introduction to the NUKE 12.2 Interface

02 Making your first compositing in NUKE

03 Layers, Channels & Shuffle Nodes in NUKE

04 Understanding Premults & Alphas in NUKE

05 Linear Color, 32Bit Float & EXRs in NUKE

Blender 2.9 – Comping of Light- & Data Passes & Rendering in Cycles

26. October 2020 By admin

The first module of my „Blender 2.9 for Production“ series is done. In this first module we’ve talked about the build-in node-based Compositor of Blender 2.9 and how to work with it in an effective integrated workflow. You have learned how you set up Render-Layers and -Passes and how to work also with external OpenEXRs from other 3D-Applications and Renderers. My conclusion is, that this Compositor is a really powerful addition to every workflow and I am hoping for more improvements in the future.

01 Introduction to the Blender Compositor Workflow

02 Basic Compositing Tasks in Blender 2.9 Compositor

03 RenderLayers, Collections & Ray-Visibility

04 RenderLayers, LightPasses & DataPasses

05 Working with Light- & Data-Passes, Alphas and much more

I hope, you enjoyed this series and learned a lot. But for now I will dive into the new Houdini 18.5 stuff.

Let’s say it like that „I will be back“ 😉 Blender 2.91 is around the corner and I will continue this „Blender 2.9 for Production“ series with the 2D- & 3D-Tracking system.

Artikel zum Compositing in NUKE 6.3

19. June 2012 By adminLeave a comment

Im aktuellen Compositing-Sonderheft der Digital Production (Sonderheft-Compositing) dreht sich alles um das Thema Compositing-Software und -Workflows. Hierbei wird ein umfassender Überblick über die Geschichte des Compositings, den Markt und die verfügbaren Tools, sowie Trends gegeben.

Es wird Einsteigern und Umsteigern den Überblick über alle Möglichkeiten gegeben – egal, ob Sie als One-Man-Band Ihr Repertoire erweitern wollen, als Einsteiger den ersten Überblick suchen oder als alter Hase mal über den Tellerrand schauen wollen.

Es wird ein großen Bogen geschlagen – von einer Grundlageneinführung zur Geschichte und den Standards des Compositings bis zu den Trends und Tools, flankiert von Projekten, Anwenderinterviews und Workshops.

Ich habe für dieses Sonderheft zwei Artikel geschrieben, die ich Ihnen hier kostenfrei anbieten kann:

Aufbruch in die node-basierenden Compositing-Welt

NUKE Compositing-Workflow

 

Wer tiefer in die Arbeit mit NUKE 6.3 / NUKEX 6.3 einsteigen möchte, biete ich mit meiner Firma pixeltrain (www.pixeltrain.de) Firmen- und Individualtrainings in D, AT und CH an. => Link zu den NUKE-Trainings

Viel Spass damit!
