Description
NK404! The fourth part in Alex's Nuke series on Udemy, this time with a massive 8 hour course about advanced color grading and layering techniques. Take your VFX Compositing to the next level.
Why learn from this course?
It's easy to learn Nuke nodes, not so much artistic and visual concepts and techniques to build complex composites. This class heavily leans into learning more in depth about the artistic side of color, balance, highlights and shadow, and how to balance them all together. By re-lighting a scene from day to night entirely, you are forced to combine all of these techniques!
Not only are you getting an 8 hour class for a bargain price, but you are being taught by an industry professional who knows the proper workflows!
Your instructor has worked on feature films such as:
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Avengers: Endgame
X-Men Apocalypse
The Mandalorian
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them
....And many more.
What is this class about?
Light, color, and combining merge operations in Nuke to re-light a scene!
First, what do I need to know entering this course?:
1. A basic understanding of Nuke and Nuke's interface (Taught Alex's Udemy class, NK101).
2. Knowledege about the basic nodes in nuke, and beginner level color correction concepts (Taught Alex's Udemy class, NK101, and Compositing Photo-real Elements in Nuke).
3. Beginner level knowledge on the 3d system in Nuke (Taught Alex's Udemy class, NK202).
4. Beginner / intermediate knowledge of CG compositing (Taught Alex's Udemy class, NK303).
What skills will I learn?
Creating a day to night scene
Gradient Re-mapping Techniques in Nuke
Color Balance and Color Scheme
Studying Reference
Physics of Light and Glossiness
Stacking Different Merge Operations
Highlight stacking Techniques
Advanced color grading techniques
2d and 3d techniques for re-lighting
2d and 3d techniques for creating reflections
Creating and using depth maps
Splitting an image using math operations to control different aspects
Glow stacking techniques, and artistic concepts related
Structuring a composite and templating assets
Lining up and model-building a scene
Creating and layering atmosphere elements
What projects do I get to work on in this course?:
This course will walk you through my composite of the shot shown in the preview. I have split the class into "practical sessions" as well as "theory" and follow along sections. This ensures you can actually apply what you are learning when we go over techniques, but also follow along in different areas!
Who this course is for:
Beginners / Intermediate users learning Nuke but already have a foundational understanding of the 2d and 3d system in nuke
People who have already taken NK101, NK202, NK303, Photo-Real Elements --- my previous classes
Individuals looking for a deeper education in Compositing for a bargain price
Note: You will be required to sign up and download the project files if you want to follow along with this class
Who this course is for:
Beginner to Intermediate Compositors
Learning Compositors who have taken my other beginner Nuke courses (Nk101, 202, 303, Photoreal Elements).
Students learning visual effects
Anyone looking to improve their artistic eye, or learn deeper coloring techniques
