This isn't your average 'tips and tricks!' These lectures are designed for the professional compositor and cover common gaps in standard Compositing training. Our goal is to elevate any compositor through awareness, managing CG, how the math actually works, selective stylization, and ultimately, understanding your role in the bigger picture.
Join us for these four lectures and a panel about Compositing with our industry professionals:
2) The Math of Comp
3) 3D Comp Integration: Best Practice
4) Selective Stylization: The Art of Imperfection
The Math of Comp aims to share knowledge that will deepen your technical understanding of Nuke, as we talk about some of the fundamentals behind what Nuke's tools are actually doing to the pixels in your images. We'll cover the math of how the Grade node works, followed by a demonstration of how different methods of matching blacks affect your images differently. Next, we'll take a look at the transform node, and how transforming an image filters its pixels, while touching on why node concatenation is important. Finally, we'll look at how data on a pixel level can help us do pretty interesting things in a flexible way using ST Maps.
