compositing software used by all major studios
and is an absolute requirement
for breaking in to the industry.
This course is a marvelous introduction to Nuke
to help you get started on your visual effects career.
We first explore the user interface
and how to navigate around Nuke's various windows
and how to operate tools like the viewer,
curve editor, and the timeline.
We'll also learn the internal structure of Nuke's channels,
how to build node trees,
and how to create key frame animation.
In the second chapter, we focus on 3D compositing
with topics like color correcting,
compositing images and transformations,
core skills such as keying, tracking, and rotoscoping
are also covered.
In the third chapter,
we explore Nukes powerful 3D composting capabilities
to learn about geometric primitives,
adding material properties,
3D transformations, and camera projection.
Of course, we also cover the basics
like adding 3D cameras and lights
and how to render a 3D scene.
Each video comes with a prepared Nuke script
and all the media required
to follow along with the tutorial on your own machine
