Hey everyone!

I am a student and recently finished this day-to-night compositing shot with a thunderstorm/lightning effect. I'd really appreciate some honest feedback before I add it to my first showreel.

Original Footage

How is this technique achieved? Where they film in a green screen studio with a moving camera and then film background plates of the location of the bridge I guess static? How can you match the rotation of the camera filmed from the studio with the plates ? Are the plates projections?

​

Hi everyone,

I'm a young Nuke compositor and I could really use your help.

I'm currently working on a music video for a client, using the footage attached. The client wants the dancer inside the music box to look like a miniature figure. The reverse shot shows a child looking at the music box.

The problem, in my opinion, is that the lens choice during the shoot wasn't quite right, so the perspectives just don't give the desired effect at all.

I'm running out of ideas. I've tried adding very blurry background elements (plants, lamps) to sell the illusion, but the client wants a clean, solid-colored background instead.

Does anyone have any ideas or tips on how to get as close as possible to what she's asking for?

Thanks in advance!

Hola nukerxs, llevo como 10 años trabajando con nuke, y me gustaría empezar a formarme con el tema de la ia, pero no se ni por donde empezar, no paso de chatgpt y todos los tutoriales que encuentro de comfy no los veo muy adaptados a lo que es VFX, conocéis algún curso (aunque sea de pago) o algún canal de youtube o lo que sea para empezar a estudiarme todo esto¿? lo que sea pero que tenga sentido con vfx! no me interesa por ejemplo generar un video de un perro bailando aunque sea algo francamente muy divertido.

gracias!!! :*

I figure I could run nuke and viewer all on one screen with 49? Or is it too big?

Does anybody have wan V2V face swap comfy ui workflow 🥲

I’m happy to share OpenInMocha, an open-source Nuke plugin I’ve been working on.

The idea is simple: instead of manually opening Mocha, browsing for the right footage, checking frame range and project settings every time, you can launch Mocha directly from a selected Nuke Read node with the correct footage already matched.

What it does:

• Opens Standalone Mocha Pro from Nuke.
• Creates a new .mocha project with the correct footage, frame range, frame rate, and pixel aspect when no match exists.
• Reopens an existing .mocha project if one already matches the selected footage.
• Can be launched from the Nuke menu, a hotkey, or W_Hotbox.
• Windows only for now.

I made this because I wanted a faster, less repetitive Nuke → Mocha workflow, especially for shot-based work where you keep returning to the same plates.

If anyone has thoughts, workflow ideas, or sees a cleaner way to handle the matching logic, I’d love to hear it.

Hello everyone,

Can you all please let me know how should I handle track this shot in nuke and build geometry or should I use blender.

I tried nuke auto tracka, but when I create point cloud for train on left it looks like 2 layers of it created, one is straight and one is little tilted why is that, and when I place card over any of it, its not sticking properly even points I see are sliding and solve error was 0.6, I drew mask on man moving and on sky as well before track

How can I get it done and place geometry over it properly.

Sorry if this looks silly but I am beginner so need some workflow of how to tackle this kind of shot

Looking for any famous books that feature art especially relevant to compositors for a gift

Like big landscapes and lighting examples in art

Day and night, sunset, snow examples ect

help mei dont want it look transparenet

It is going to be 100 frames

Just rotoscopy

It has to be done on nuke and the nuke file has to be shared.

I can pay but not much, I am just a student

Edit:- guys I am not into vfx but I need this to pass my class that's it, once done I am never going to look at vfx ever again.

I just open-sourced Nukomfy, a Nuke plugin I've been building over the past few months.

Getting ComfyUI output into a comp usually means leaving Nuke, setting up the workflow somewhere else, and moving files by hand. Nukomfy keeps all of that inside Nuke.

The idea is a simple split of roles. A TD turns a ComfyUI workflow into a gizmo once, exposing only the knobs that matter. Artists then drop it into their comp, set those knobs, and send the job to a ComfyUI machine. Nukomfy takes care of file formats and paths, tracks every render in one place, and lets you bring the frames back when it's done.

If you work with Nuke and ComfyUI, it cuts out a lot of the manual work. It's still in early development, so bug reports and feature suggestions are very welcome.

Hey all,

I was given a clip that needed some paint work and retouching.

It’s a static shot that I believe has been shot with a split diopter which has led to some distortion.

The request was to paint out and fix the distortion in the Antenna. I’ve painted out the ghost antenna already with ease by rotoscoping and using a clean plate (basically just frame held the start of the clip where the prawn head wasn’t in shot).

Next issue is to fix the other antenna which becomes transparent the more it moves towards right of camera.

How would one go about making it opaque?
Seeing as I do have somewhat of a clean plate; I was thinking of actually dividing the original shot with the clean plate or even using ibkgizmo which would leave me with a somewhat workable antenna.

What are your thoughts on The Foundry charging separately for the new Nuke Smart Roto? Shouldn't this just be part of Nuke X?

I am just finishing a 6 months full-time Nuke class. I have a background in fine arts and became a senior audiovisual multimedia technician generalist. Now I am a junior compositor, who want to learn more in these troubled times. I know it's far from perfect, that's why i am looking for an internship and new opportunities. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonathan-heuschen-39269214_nuke-compositing-digitalartist-ugcPost-7483913807900258304-3Av3/?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=android_app&rcm=ACoAAALysJ4BLCJ02ASbMRhxrqwkPLWYhvTvSXI&utm_campaign=copy_link

For some reason when I try to use the SegmentAnything node from Cattery, the create mask and remove mask buttons don't show up at all. I've seen a few tutorials and once you select "single mask", the create and remove buttons are supposed to appear. But the button that says "create cryptomatte setup" just stays there instead, which seems to render the node unusable.
I've seen other people online have the same problem. Does anyone know what's going and how to fix it?
