Course benefits included: -Thousands of Dollars worth of CG Assets designed by a team of FX Artists (This is not an exaggeration!) -Almost 6 hours of compositing training, focused on feature film workflows -Deep Workflows, as well as Artistic methodologies for applying those workflows. -Email Support from a Senior Compositor -Learn from a previous ILM / Weta / Sony / MPC Artist -8 Years of Trial and Error experience / methodologies compressed into a CG Compositing course Building this course I wanted to go the extra mile to provide learning material that is also reel worthy. Typically it can take years to work on CG shots like this in a feature film studio, mainly because you have to build trust and prove you have the experience. By providing this, I hope that people can shorten that time window and get experience with complex compositing faster, without having to slowly climb that ladder! www.compositingacademy.com/nk707-nuke-course-deep-compositing-in-nuke
Hi. I just visited your website and I’m a little confused. Are the courses all I need to watch or know to become a professional compositor? Or is it something to get me started?
Hey there, The courses are designed to get people up to a professional skill level to help them get a job yes! I typically still recommend people apply the knowledge to their own projects / your own shots to understand it deeper. There are a few projects in the courses though that can definitely be used on a reel, like the projects in the keying course for example. Cheers! Alex
Hi Alex, Great video ! Do you think being a Level 5 Student of VFX at University ill be able to understand and follow with this course ? Also with your experiance, what operating system would you say is better for compositing, windows or mac ? Thanks !
Hey there, I’m not familiar with the levels in university, but if you are familiar with Nuke’s 2d and 3d system and are comfortable with those things, it should be accessible. In terms of operating system, either works. I work on a mac for nuke (laptop) as well as windows (desktop). In studios most often they will use Linux. Hopefully that helps! Cheers
I have a question. ahmm, do u think the m2 ultra with 192gb of ram, will perform good on nuke? cuz, I'm on time to change my setup, but I need 2 workstations to work, one for render and another to continuous working along the day. my setup that I have rn is a: 5950x with a rtx 3078 and 128gb of ram. Your setup perform well on those deep comp?
Hey, That should be more than enough for Nuke / deep compositing. Deep can definitely be a RAM hog but that should be plenty. I've worked on machines with 32gb and 64gb and that's enough (although annoying with 32 because you need to dump cache constantly). Those CPUs should be enough as well. What's useful when deep compositing is having it on a SSD for the read speeds. I did most of this comp having the deep files on an external SSD because it's fast and I didn't want to store it locally on my machine.
@@CompositingAcademy Perfect. ty a lot! and DUDE all of your content is incredible. best comp courses/tutorials available by far! Today Inwork with comp on AE but I'll migrate to Nuke soon. Ty a lot bro!
Thank you for this class I know this is Compositing Academy But I also interested in Houdini FX Simulation I assume this is Houdini. Any Chance for Houdini FX Tutorials? Subscribed
Hey there, We might be doing some interesting collaborations that include Houdini + Nuke in the next months, so it's possible! Mostly this channel will stay comp focused, and occasionally 3D stuff. We're looking into doing collaborations with more FX people where we may cover the full spectrum though with the information shown. Cheers
Hey Alex , I have one question regarding this course I’m currently working in Dneg & I know deep comping coz I have worked on 6/7 shows which had this deep comping so my question is …… Is it still worth to buy this one ? I have bought couple of your courses earlier but this one is Kind expensive for me here in India. And as I have done deep comping & have experience in it is it worth to buy 😅 I’m bit confuse
Hey! It might be useful still, but it's hard to say without knowing the complexity of shots you've worked in the past. In general there's a lot of useful information solving specific pain points of deep (Deep RGBA workflows VS Holdout workflows, VS Cryptomattes, etc). It's possible to work with deep in very inefficient ways, so part of the course is understanding those higher level structural concepts, versus just the deep nodes. Most of the beginning stuff in the course covers the basics so that might not be useful, where it may be useful is the workflows as well as the artistic layering techniques using Deep(which is about half of the course). It's less about the nodes at that point and more just methods that I've developed over time as an artist. Additionally my final comp isn't provided on purpose, so if you comp the shot it's a pretty great thing to have on your reel. Could easily be adapted to be unique as well, such as making it night time or adjusting the timing of elements / lights / sky / etc. Hopefully that helps some! Cheers!
Hey, I'm currently a Senior Trainer at DNEG India for Comp, I am currently working on a course (internally) to teach better practices for Deep as there are "some less than desirable techniques" that I have identified being used. Reach out to me and I will happily walk you through some know issues.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve got a general problem, I don’t know if you’ve had such issue, I’m working on a full CG shots, so I tried copy pasting nodes from shot to shot but that has caused nuke to be lagging, so much that, I can’t move from one frame to another without the mouse loading icon showing, and I noticed same even as I copy and paste nodes in my current script. Any idea what could be wrong? Cause it’s quiet frustrating and it slows me down.
Hmm it's hard to know exactly without seeing how many nodes / what kind of renders you're dealing with. It sounds mostly like you're hitting a RAM or CPU issue though as those are the two most used resources in Nuke. Typically I will break up scripts into a "Sandbox" script, and a "main" script, when the main script gets slow. I'll work on a portion in a second script, and then bring it into the main one after.
@@CompositingAcademy what options do you check when you’re writing out a comp with all the channels? Cause I’ve been getting issues where every channel comes in with the render but cryptomatte always don’t get rendered out
Hey there i'd like to start my career as a compositor for features Film but still don't know nothing about nuke can i start the course 101Nuke you have
Hey there, The nuke beginner series is a great place to start if that’s your goal, it doesn’t assume any previous experience and it provides a clear path of the knowledge you need along the way. www.compositingacademy.com/nuke-compositing-career-starter-bundle Hopefully that helps! All the best.
