Hasta La Motion!

Has there been any mention by the foundry of normal mapping and other shaders coming to nuke in the future, beyond the Renderman link?

If anyone knows anything I would appreciate some info.

Thanks,

So its my first time posting and hopefully someone has the answer 🙂

In regards to compositing, either 2 separate videos or with cgi, one thing that has me stuck is when there is some sort of interaction.

What I mean is when something for video 1 interacts with video 2 thats been masked in for example. Say when someone hands someone something. How is it made to look 100% spot on?

If you take a look at this video and go to the shoot from 1:50

you can see how its not perfect but close, but then in the final shot, when he hands him the stick and hat its 100% perfect.

So what is being done it to turn a "almost there" into a perfect fit?

I’ve been using mocha to planar track which has been pretty successful and also been colour correcting the composited videos.
But as there are no reflections/specular on them they look pretty rubbish.

I was just wondering if anyone could think of a way to get some sort of reflections/specular on top of the footage. I dont think it needs to be completely realistic but just add a a bit of depth to the scene.
