Nuke/Fusion for a student demoreel

Hi everyone,
I’m pretty new around here and I guess i’ll find a good stay :).
My name is Alexandre from France and I’m finishing my last year in ArtFX, vfx school.
Me and two friends are doing a short movie which is called Huracan. It’s a kind of music video with a mayan dancer in a 3d environnement. It was shot on green screen with a Red One and eveything is composited in Fusion 6.

I’m currently making my demoreel with the goal to find a compositing job in London, and I’ve saw that a lot of studios here uses Nuke.
Fact is that I know how to use that software, but all the shots on my reel will be featuring a Fusion logo.

So my question is, is it really important to have some things done in Nuke or is it sufficient to have those things in Fusion ?

I hope I was clear, and I thanks everyone in advance for possible answers.
Have a nice day !
Alexandre.

stereo with 3d cam + zdepth ?

hello,

is it possible to kind of fake a stereo render from a 2D rendering when you have the 3D position of the camera + zdepth + Normal pass ?

Thanks

No such file or directory

I have a very strange problem.
I’ve started a compositing on some water shapes that I’ve done.
My first step was to unite all the different passes that I’ve rendered from Maya in one single openExr file in Nuke.
Success.
This was made in my laptop.
When I changed to my desktop I opened the file but my Read node had an ERROR message. I reorganized the file directory but for my surprise the ERROR still maintained. I created a new read node and the message continues to appear. I dragged and dropped the image folder and the error still appears. I opened After Effects to see if there was any problem with the images but everything was ok.
Why is that? Never happened with me before.
Hope someone can help me here.
Cheers

I’ve changed the name of an single image and it accepted it.
Do you think that the problem is related to the number of words that the file has?

Yowser Yowser Yowser

Like his namelike metal fetishist, Tetsuo wakes up to discover that his body and his world are undergoing creepy and irreversible transformations in the music video for Yowser Yowser Yowser, directed by Alex de Campi.

Comping render passes w/o exr file?

Newbie question. I see a lot of tuts for multipass compositing CG elements using exr files but what if I just have each pass separately?

I know you use the merge node to connect the passes but I am a little unclear on which operation to use for which pass, and in what order.

Can anyone tell me the best way or provide a screen shot. I’m just using a few passes: defuse, ambient occlusion, specular, shadow, lighting, and reflection.

Thanks!
