MUltiple camera projection: from one to another

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hi to everyone,
I have to create a multiple camera projection for a shot that start from an aereal view and end inside a village. I’m wondering how to blend the texture from one camera to another. Is it correct to use a bezier with an alpha channel for blending the texture before a project3dnode and after that use a merge material node?
I have also another problem: how can I put a correct texture without it stretches on the lateral wall of the houses?
Sorry for my english and thanks to everyone will have the patient to help me, I’m pretty new in the 3d space of Nuke and I didn’t find any tutorial with multiple camera projection.

Rolling bottle

Posted in: Beginners Talk
Hi everyone

I am student, producing a short film for my course and have a small idea. There is a scene where a small animated figure is pushing a real liquor bottle away. What we are trying to do is see if there is any other ways we could make the bottle move before we put the animated figure in.

So far the only way we have thought to do it would be to have it connected to a piece of thin string and have someone off scene pulling the bottle.

Is there anything else we could do?

Many thanks

Gregor
