Hasta La Motion!

So, I had fun meeting folks at the get together we did in April. As far as I know, a good time was had by all. So, I figure we should do it again.

I’m kicking off this thread with a poll. What day of the week would you like the next meetup to happen? I know there were some people in the thread for the last one who expressed interest, but weren’t able to make it. So, if you weren’t able to make it to the last one, definitely cast your vote for what day would work best for you.

I know this is a dumb question but I was wondering how you would tell if a green/blue screen is not workable.

I hear sometimes that if you are a good artist, anything can be done, but isn’t their a limit on how much you can do?

For instance, I got this really crappy shot of an actor in front of green screen. Their is poor lighting, grain, motion blur, shadows and folds on the green screen. Their is also a lot of spill on the actor, so when I use primatte or keylight, it keys a lot of the pants with it and when I adjust the parameters, I can never seem to pull a good key.

When something like that happens, what do you do? What happens in the real world when something like this happens? Do you ask for better footage or…?

Hi
I have to buy some licence of nuke and create a new compositing pipeline (we were on shake) so I just wondering to know wich are the difference between nuke 6 and nuke X. I read that with nuke X you can have the 3d tracking tool that can be just read in nuke 6, in nuke X you have the furnace plugin, others difference? I think that also paint and roto tool could be different..
I’m little bit confused about this difference..I mean if I do a script with nuke X what happend if I open it with nuke 6? do I loose some node? or they be converted in an another version?
what about the renderfarm render node? Does it change something if I use X or 6? Do I need to have different verdion of render node?
thanks in advice for all the info

bye
