Nuke Foundation:
Introduction to Nuke & Compositing Basics
The course begins with an introduction to Nuke’s powerful node-based compositing system, helping students build a solid foundation in non-linear visual workflows. Learners will explore basic layering and masking techniques, essential for combining multiple elements within a scene. The module also covers the fundamentals of importing and exporting footage in Nuke, ensuring compatibility across post-production pipelines. Additionally, students will learn keyframe animation and basic transform tools, enabling them to animate elements and adjust their positioning with precision.
Rotoscoping and Keying
This module focuses on object isolation and background removal techniques, starting with Roto and RotoPaint tools to manually isolate elements with precision. Students will dive into chroma keying, learning advanced techniques with Keylight to extract green screen footage cleanly. The course also introduces luma keying for isolating elements based on brightness, followed by edge refinement methods to ensure smooth, natural composites. Learners will also work with holdout mattes and garbage masks, essential for maintaining control over complex keying and compositing tasks.
Tracking & Stabilization
In this module, students will master the fundamentals of motion tracking for VFX. It begins with 2D tracking techniques used for simple object replacements and screen inserts. Building on that, learners will explore 3D camera tracking, a vital skill for integrating CGI elements seamlessly into live-action footage. The course also covers planar tracking, ideal for surface replacements and texture fixes on flat or curved objects. Finally, students will dive into matchmoving techniques, aligning CGI with live-action camera movements to create believable and grounded visual effects.
Nuke Advanced
Advanced Compositing & Integration
This advanced module delves into the deep compositing workflow, a professional technique used in film production to manage complex layering with depth information for more realistic effects. Students will also explore multi-pass compositing, breaking down and reconstructing high-end CGI renders using individual passes like diffuse, specular, and shadows for maximum control. The course includes a detailed study of color grading and LUT management, teaching how to develop cinematic looks that match production requirements. Additionally, learners will work with HDR compositing and exposure control, ensuring dynamic range and visual consistency across shots.
3D Compositing & Set Extensions
In the concluding module, students will learn 3D camera projection techniques for integrating matte paintings into live-action scenes, extending environments and creating cinematic visuals. The training moves into virtual set compositing, simulating complex film production workflows with layered CGI and live footage. Learners will also explore cross-software integration, connecting Nuke with Maya and Houdini to create seamless pipelines for CGI compositing. The module finishes with an in-depth focus on lighting and shadow integration within 3D composites, ensuring that all elements blend naturally to produce visually stunning, production-ready shots.
Special Effects & Post-Production Workflow
This specialized module introduces particle systems for creating realistic smoke, fire, and explosion effects, essential for high-impact film and cinematic visuals. Students will explore advanced motion blur techniques and optical effects to enhance realism and match the dynamics of live-action footage. The course also covers retouching and beauty work, refining details like skin tones and subtle enhancements for final delivery. To ensure production efficiency, learners will study final render optimization techniques, preparing their composites for seamless integration into studio pipelines.
Final Project & Portfolio Development
The course culminates in a capstone project, where students will apply their full skillset to create a high-end VFX shot for film. This includes compositing a CGI creature into live-action footage, focusing on seamless integration, lighting, and shadow matching. Learners will also build a digital matte painting scene, extending or transforming environments with photorealistic detail. The final phase guides students through rendering and post-production workflows, ensuring their work is polished, optimized, and ready for inclusion in a professional studio reel or portfolio.
