Category: Nuke

What I have done in this week:

After last week’s study, I have a deeper understanding of the properties of colour and specific nodes of the Nuke. I am more sensitive to colour because I have some experience in photography. Both Photoshop and DaVinci are some of the colour posting software I use regularly. Fortunately, both DaVinci and Nuke are node-based operating software, so many functional nodes are similar. Such as the picture I finished this week show.

I prefer to let data flow between nodes than a hierarchical structure of software. Therefore, I enjoy the greater freedom to adjust parameters in Nuke. I also tried the node that I learned In last week like the picture below.

Especially for the nodes of unpremult and premult, I was never quite sure of the slight difference between these nodes before. By understanding the principles, I have a better understanding of the mechanism by which the RGB and Alpha channels operate within the software.

What I have done this week:

In the week, I was happy to learn the skills of cinematic. Different perspectives of shots express the creator’s emotion and the director can enhance the subject’s confidence or weak from different angles. In addition, abundant shot selections make the creator has more choice to show different levels of detail about the subject. Besides the shot principle, the Light attributes also affect the cinema scene such as the brightness, hardness, or softness of the scene.

Then, I tried to compose a short video in Nuke as the picture showed. I made a simple random rotation motion in Houdini and render a sequence with z alpha. In Nuke, I used the Zdefocus node to show the z-axis in another dimension. After that, I tried to use the Colorcorrect node to match the background picture. Finally, I added some tiny motionblur to make the view more realistic.

After finishing all adjust, I used the merge node to combine the two groups and expert a video by the write node.
