Where can I find this book for less?

Hey guys,

I’ve been looking to buy and read the Art and Science of Digital Compositing (2nd ed) by Ron Brinkmann… The "cheapest" I could find it was for around $50 which I can’t really afford! Its so hard to find a used copy anywhere too. Does anyone know of a way to get this book at a discount or at a student price? Used, new, anything.

Appreciate the help, thanks!

Gizmos all over the nodegraph

When I add a gizmo to the node graph, some of them show up at the position of the mouse as normal Nuke nodes, but other show up at random places in the nodegraph so you have to look around for them. Anyone know how to fix this? Nuke 6.2 on both Win and Mac.

Calling Relight and position to points nodes

Hey guys how can you call the relight tool and the position to points nodes without updating the all plugins menu …. I just want to put it in my menu.py so I can have it ….

Thank you.

Lens distortion matchmove work flow issue

Hi,
I’ve stumbled upon a workflow issue between Nuke and Houdini when match moving (though I’m sure this applies to any 3D app, Maya/3DS/C4d etc).

I’ve set up and tracked a shot in Nuke using the ‘CameraTracker’ node. Before tracking, I’ve undistorted the lens using the ‘LensDistortion’ node, so my track and camera are based on the undistorted lens.

I’ve also used a ‘modeler’ node to create some rough location geometries as reference when I take the scene into Houdini. Again, all based on the undistorted lens and footage.

Upon importing the FBX file, it’s all worked beautifully, apart from the fact the camera, track and modeler geometry are all based on the undistorted lens, and so, inside Houdini, the Nuke elements obviously don’t agree with the background plate. And, besides, even they did, if I create, say, a fluid sim in the Houdini scene, it’ll obviously not match the undistorted scene in Nuke. :spacedout

Is there anything I can do in either Nuke or Houdini to make this workflow…work? 😀

I reeeeeally hope this makes sense

Thanks in advance.

Secondary color correction instead of keying

Hi, I’m in a shot where I must change the color of a window. It has a bluescreen behind it (not very evenly) and I must change it to be completely black.

I’ve tried to key the window with IBK, Primatte, Keylight, luma, min/max, but it doesnt seem to work well… Also HSVTool but nothing…

I just would like to know if maybe there is another approach for this, like some kind of color correction.

Thanks.
