Hasta La Motion!

I’m about to try do some tests on 2.5d relighting using normal and pos passes from maya.

http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/articles…-january-2009/

Is what inspired me to give it a try.

He says in the video that you still need a shadow pass though.

Is there any way to create cast shadows in nuke from normal and or pos passes?

can deep compositing create cast shadows?

can mental ray even create a pass like dtex for deep compositing?

I really hate dealing with cast shadows from maya. I’d love to find a better solution to create cast shadows.

I’d also love some help on how to get the right passes out of maya if anyone can point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot.

I am new to Nuke, and Fusion
I ve seen Furnace-Furnace Core for nuke and fusion
ihave visited foundry webisite but didnt understand, i read that it can do auto rotoscoping and rig removel?
is it possible?

Hi!

I remember seeing in Nuke master class,
We are able to select animated 3d model’s mesh point and grow selection
to use it as a matte.

I cant remember the 3d pass required to do so
and how we use it in Nuke.
plz. help…

Cheers,

In a Digital Tutors tutorial I watched on the RotoPaint node a guy demonstrates being able to break tangents by pressing ctrl while he is drawing. This was in Nuke 6.0. I had my friend test this for me on the mac version of 6.0 he is running to see if it works for him and it does. On both 6.2 and 6.3 windows 64 I can only break tangents after I let go of the handle I pull out. I can’t just hit ctrl while in the process of initially creating the point and its tension and direction and have the tangents break. This probably seems minor but the way he shows seems much more fluid than having to go back to each point and break it rather than being able to go ahead and break it while I am initially dragging it out. Is there a preference setting I am just missing. I can’t find anything about it in the current docs so I am wondering if maybe it was buggy and taken out or something like that. Thanks, Nick

I’m wondering if I need to install something to get Apple ProRes again as an option in the write node in nuke 6.3?

I was writing to my scripts in nuke 6.2 with Apple ProRes cause it seems like the best option for me for work with my footage in FCPX without having to transcode it again (FCPX transcodes everything to Apple ProRes).

Now in nuke 6.3 apple proRes ain’t an option and I’m wondering why?

I’m writing out to Animation .mov’s right now but I’d rather go straight to ProRes.

Any ideas how to write to ProRes again in nuke 6.3?

thanks
