Introduction to Nuke VFX Compositing: The Essentials - NK101

Introduction to Nuke VFX Compositing: The Essentials - NK101

This Nuke visual effects training course will take you through the fundamental concepts of VFX Compositing in Nuke, and how to learn the user interface.  By the end of the course, you will successfully be able to composite what would be considered a "Junior Digital Compositing" shot.  

The final project includes all of the techniques you learn along the way.  The class is focused primarily on the 2D aspects of compositing to get you started.  It involves replacing a background, color correcting and blending the foreground and background, motion tracking the background to the foreground, and seamlessly bringing it all together.  As a bonus, you learn how to create an animated hologram effect from scratch appearing in front of the character!

There will be a lot of theory you need to learn first before you can successfully composite a shot, and with anything worth learning there is a learning curve.  But if you persist through you will have a great payoff and skillset at the end, and a great shot to show off that you created!
