Quick Start to NUKE: Volume 2
In this volume, we'll build on the concepts covered in Volume 1. Software required: NUKE 8.0v1.
What you'll learn
In this volume, we'll build on the concepts covered in Volume 1. We'll start by bringing our images into NUKE, setting the project settings and moving images around within the main shot. We'll learn how to track areas of the main shot so that we have data to integrate images into the composite. We'll learn how to add elements like fire and an explosion as well as heat distortion and lens effects. We also build upon the color correction techniques that we learned in Volume 1 to take our Volume 2 project to the next level. We'll finish up this training by learning how to get our sequence out of NUKE. Software required: NUKE 8.0v1.
