Convert coordinate 3d to 2d in nuke

Hi there 🙂

I’m looking for an expression to convert 3d coordinate into 2d X,Y?

In after effects, there is a wonderful expression named "toComp" that converted 3d position into a 2d coordinate.

I’m looking for the same thing in nuke. =)

thanks

Post houses

What post houses employ fusion artists? Ive read that the powerful post houses prefer nuke. But can you still get a gOod job working with fusion?

Elastic/a52: Honda “Boxes”

Elastic/a52 releases another colorful component of the Honda Accord Crosstour campaign for agency RPA.

Directed by Andy Hall, “Boxes” builds on the lively minimalism of “Instruments,” with transitional moments powered by the expansion and contraction of nested squares that look like Albers paintings on acid—neon-lit and full of kinetic possibility.

The rendering in this series reminds me a little of Smith & Foulkes’ work for HP. Both worlds are full of chunky, stylized forms and almost tangible streams of color—worlds I’d like to spend some time in, if I only knew how to find them.

Questions for Pro-Colorists

Hi Fellow Colorists,
It would be my fantasy come true if I ever got a job at ILM. (besides the other fantasy of me & 2 girls on a rock, but that’s another story.)
Anyway, I am very confused about the big studio workflow.

For example, Once a film is complete ( editing,vfx added etc..)
It now needs to be color corrected ( Adjust contrast, make blue eyes bluer, change color of a car, etc)

So my questions are:
1, How many colorists are assigned to the film?

2. Do they break it up into scenes ? (John does the rain scenes, Bob does the night scene, etc)?

3.How much time does it take to for the colorists to complete any given film. Or should I say, How much time does a Big Studio want you to take to finish your scenes?

The reason for my curiosity is because I have been working on a 45 minute
Indy film for 9 months. (don’t laugh)

My job is to do everything except editing. CG planes added, sky replacements, wire & track removals, day 4 night conversions, 3D tracking, 2D tracking, Stabilizing, color correction, and the list goes on… etc…..etc…

So I find myself asking….is this normal? Am I slow as Sh_t?

My last Day 4 night conversion (which was 8 clips) took 6 weeks!

Keep in mind, they broke every rule. Direct sun on the talent, camera pointed at blown out sky, grainy,etc..

So, I would love to hear from the pros,

Thanks,
Lou
