Who Should Take This Class |
This
class assumes that you already have
a basic understanding of the concepts of 2D compositing of visual
effects using one of the packages mentioned above and want to
learn about Nuke's powerful capabilities including its 3D compositing
workflow!
More
and more work is being shifted from the costlier and more time
consuming 3D part of the production pipeline into the quicker
and more cost-effective compositing end of the pipeline. Nuke
provides the perfect conduit for this to happen.
Many large
VFX studios are also looking at ways to transition from their
in-house legacy software that requires a steep learning curve
to a broader market pool of talented VFX professionals and are
acquiring Nuke site licenses. The latest examples being
ILM, Weta Digital and Intelligent Creatures. (Read Steve's article: Legacy
Software Conundrum).

Testimonials
I
have used Nuke previously at Digital Domain. I took the class
as a refresher. Even with using Nuke in the past, Steve explained
aspects of the software better than anyone in the past. I
would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to better
understand Nuke. Steve has the most in depth knowledge of
compositing and his teaching style is completely concise
and clear. |
