Welcome to the Nuke Technical Workshop.

Taught by Mike Callahan, a Senior Nuke Compostier with 20-years of experience in the visual effects industry.

In this workshop, Mike will guide you through the entire workflow and process of creating an integrated multi-pass CG scene.
"We are going to cover everything from installation to final render. I am talking about Soup to Nuts - the user interface, shortcuts, merge nodes, color correction, how to use those AOVs, 2d hacks, and more. This course is completely jammed with everything I have learned in 20 years of working alongside some of the top industry experts. By the end of this course, you will have everything you are going to need to create that fantastic final image inside Nuke.

There is a lot to cover. We purposefully left some things unanswered to give you the feeling of being on an actual production shot."

Learn how to control color corrections, render passes, depth of field, and countless other techniques to give your shots the polish and refinement that hiring managers are looking for.  Have you ever looked at your render and wondered why it doesn't look as polished as a film you see in the theaters? How do they get that light to glow? How do they get that subtle softness. How do they balance their colors just so? It's because they know how to harness the power of compositing. All of those elements are not accomplished in the renderer. They can only be crafted through meticulous work in compositing.  We will also demonstrate how compositing will not only can increase the aesthetics of your image, but it can also save you precious time. Simple color adjusts in the composite can take seconds instead of hours of rerendering. Compositing shadow passes over still backgrounds will allow you to render one frame of your background instead of hundreds.  In other words, this course will teach how to work faster to create polished images that will sparkle on your demo reel. How does that sound?
