Has anyone here completely one of their 10 week courses ?
From what I have seen, they do some really good REAL WORLD training, unlike some of the other companies constantly churning out ‘intro’ type of stuff.
Ultra talented Andreas Shabelnikov made some updates to his portfolio. Also finds time to run DA.

CGSociety’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen coverage of Digital Domain’s vfx for the film.
Mike Blabac’s new book for DC is a career spanning collection of golden moments that show the fence hopping, curb grinding, and great-wall-of china-jumping insanity that have made him one of skateboarding’s most respected lensmen. Never afraid to stick his lens in uncomfortable places, he bears a few nicks, bumps, and “one inch to the left and I wouldn’t be here” stories that unavoidably come with the job. BLABAC PHOTO does a great job of showing it all.

I am very new to Nuke and Nuke scripting, so I am sorry if this question seems trivial 😉
I am currently trying to write an import script in Python, which should create and animate a nuke camera.
I tried to read the provided Python docs but really couldn’t get it going so I was hoping that someone could provide me with a short code snippet on how to do the following:
Create a Camera
Create parameter tracks for position and rotation of this camera
Attach it to the camera
Any help would be great!
Many thanks
Markus
