CGCircuit – Mastering Nuke Vol 2

In this tutorial, you'll get to learn the powerful 3D functions of Nuke. Geometry creation, shading, lighting, animation, camera projection and more. We will use Nuke’s 3D abilities to create an animate matte-painting. To learn compositing, you need practice, and here, you’ll be able to apply those skills on a stunning concrete example. In addition, following this course will teach you the techniques and workflows used by major visual effects studios.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be confident using 3D in Nuke, and be able to create and animate your own matte-paintings or photos.

I’m Florian Girardot. I’m a senior visual effect artist specializing in Compositing. I’ve been working in the movie industry for more than 10 years. Some of my recent projects include Deadpool 2, Detective Pikachu and Spiderman Far From Home.

This entire curriculum is based on both my professional and teaching experiences.

In the first chapter, you will discover how to create a 3D scene in Nuke using, geometries, lights, shaders and cameras.

In the second chapter, you will learn one of the most important compositing techniques, camera projection. You will also learn how to breakdown a Photoshop file.
