Hasta La Motion!

Can someone explane me the difference between Maya and Houdini navigation style in Nuke’s parameters.

Looks like they are the same ))

Cheers

I default to Keylight for the majority of shots that require a key and feel that I’m probably missing out on the other options. Are there a few guidelines or things to watch for that would suggest a shot using IBK or Primatte? Thank you.

Best,
Craig
