Hasta La Motion!

Hi everybody!

I ran into a problem in nuke with my matte pass!

I divided my scene in different passes and also different layers.

i.e. i have a forground layer with all the characters and assets on it, then i have a ground layer, a background layer and a sky layer.

I’ve done this so that i can correct and tweak every layer on its own.

Since for example the plant is partly in the ground, i made myself a matte pass.
i’ve done that by applying a white surfaceshader to my forground and a black surfaceshader on the ground, background and sky layer.

With this matte pass i can cut my forground so that it will match up with my scene.

But unfortunately the matte pass now is one pixel too small and the skylayer is cominig through wich leads to a blue line where the plant should touch the ground.

Why is this happening and how can i fix this.

Anybody got an idea?

Greetings

Ps.: I attached a jpeg which should clarify my problem here. unfortunately u cant quite see what i mean in the jpeg. Therefore i also attached a tga file. The blue line between the ground and the plant is clearly visible in the tga file.

i also uploaded my nuke script and a multichannel open exr file with all the layers i used for the comp.

Hi all,

I was watching a scratch demo at assimilate’s website. HE was working with 4k plates that were in an HD 1920 project. So he resized the image "down" to fit in the 1920 window. I said to myself, wow that must be nice to compact all of those 4k pixels into a 2k project. ( almost 2k)

Should I be doing the same with HDV 1440 X 1080 if my goal is to render to DVD?
For example, I set up my project to 1440 X 1080 and then render out to DVD standard. I’m guessing that the transcoding dumbs down the resolution to 720 X480.
So my question is which is the better deal? Working in a 720X 480 project and Resize "down" to fit 720 x 480 (which should compact those nice 2k pixels into 720)

Or

Work in 1440 and let the transcode do the work for me?

Thanks,
Lou
