How to Upscale HD to 4K using Nuke Compositing (Twitch Tip of the Day) 

TVIscale has saved many a problem as long as you have the time to push it through a farm :D

Thanks for the tip!!

Yay, thank you!

Thanks so much for saying that! Good luck on your new career!

What do you do now? and why did you leave?

Happy to help!

Glad it was helpful!

No problem!

Glad you liked it!

Welcome

Yes absolutely! Remember I did this live on a stream answering a question from the chat! No prep! No script! I did it on the ‘fly’ so I did forget about a few things! Thanks for watching

Thank you! Cheers!

I get better results wit this then the TVIscale and also more control like the grain management

Haha! That’s live streams for you!

Thank you so much for you kind words. I am glad you like my videos. Have a great day and stay safe!

@@HugosDesk THANKS SIR

As I explained in the video am using the Lin2Log as a colour correction so I can retain detail. BTW this video is a bit obsolete now with Nuke 13 and the ML upscaling tool. That new tool is great! Slow but great

I will continue to publish them don’t worry. I have been served notice on my rented house after 10 years and I have been trying to find a new house for the last 8 week. I am also packing so unfortunately I can’t create any new video or make any new streams right now. I will be back in October.

@@HugosDesk ok sir, we definitely respect your time and will wait for the next uploads.....thanks..

Sure you could but if you want to rescale inside a Nuke composite at 32-bit float this would be the best way! This method also works very well for CG and it is a great way to rescan under a VFX pipeline with colourspace considerations like ACES. Normally VFX studios don't use external tools like Topaz to process plates.

Also, to go deeper into this topic, please remember this is a scaling method to be done inside Nuke, it's a compositing tutorial and not an editing tutorial. In a VFX pipeline, you can't really go to other software and upscale footage with plugins. You need to create everything inside the same compositing tool so you stay inside the companies pipeline and the also stay inside the same colour space like for example ACES. If you can ignore pipelines and colourspace then go right away and scale on Topaz if you want! It does work very well!

Of course, it’s a great gizmo but I prefer to sample my own grain with a grey card!

My course is delayed yes. We have been very transparent with all the students about my personal problems on finishing the course. For the past 12 months, I have had several major personal and family problems that have prevented me from finishing the course. So far, we have created 100 classes. I am missing 25 classes to finish the course. Please keep in mind that this course has been a huge task. It was originally only going to be 50 classes and it will be 150 (if you count the Python classes). We have been adding more and more new topics and classes over the years so the course is constantly growing. We also have also huge production cost with 2 full-time employees to create, edit, produce and make this course possible, not to mention we have a huge server cost with a full customized DRM player to protect us from piracy. My predicted deadline is November at this stage. I will not make a 4.0 Kickstarters for this course until it is completely finished. That means the course will be finished this fall. The 4.0 will have many new classes and it will be free to any 1.0. 2.0 or 3.0 student. If you are one of my students and you are not happy with this course please contact me privately so we can discuss it. Thank you for your time
