Udemy – Methods of 3D VFX Compositing Nuke Masterclass

What projects do I get to work on in this course?:

• A planar track, replacing a side of vehicle, and even faking a reflection, using expressions in Nuke
• A very in depth project, involving a 3d model construction, projections, cleanplating (removing an object), and re-projecting a stabilized image. We will move a driving car off of a path, and put it onto a beach (*All while the camera is moving*)
• A sky replacement in Nuke using various techniques, and teaching how to deal with different Nodal Pan situations

What else can I do with these skills?

• These techniques you will learn can be applied to MANY scenarios, a few examples below:
• Replacing signs
• 3D Matte paintings with many layers
• Replace skies, buildings, or extend an ENTIRE ENVIRONMENT with a fake one
• Track and Replace TV screens or phone screens with a desired effect
• Remove people or objects from complicated moving scenes
• Creating a day to night scene, and putting lights into the new scene
• Changing the texture or look of an entire LANDSCAPE
• (Example: Normal city day into a snowy covered landscape)

What you’ll learn:

• Planar Tracking / Cornerpin Techniques / Texture Extraction
• 3D Compositing Theory (Parallax, Camera Moves, Camera Solves, Triangulation, and MORE.)
• Integration Techniques
• 3d Nodes, and 3d System Concepts
• How to troubleshoot a tricky shot
• 3d Tracking, Solving, Scaling, and Orienting a scene properly.
• 3d World Building Basics
• Projections and projection concepts
• Laying out geometry to match a 3d scene
• Looking at a scene, and knowing which tool (or tools) can be used in combination to solve it the problem
