Help Creating Alpha

I’ve created a 3D scene inside of Nuke, of a world spinning. How do I generate an alpha channel from this scene so I can merge the world over a different background?

Dynamics or rotoscopy ?

hi everyone.. Right now i’m specialising in Dynamics.. But here in my place job openings in major companies are mostly for Rotoscopy artists.. So what would be a better pick ?

a) Rotoscoper in a major company or
b) Dynamic artist in a smaller comany ?

🙁

Switching over to another department

I would like to know how to switch over to another department in a VFX company after having worked in one.. For instance if i’ve worked as a rotoscoper for a year or even more how do i get into compositing later..Do i have to submit a showreel or will i be offered the work based on experience ? please throw light on this.. 😮

(colours look better on youtube rather than vimeo for some reason!)

I went to Framestore a couple of weeks back for a placement and got good feedback, but I’m worried they didn’t want to break my heart or something!

There are a couple of bugs! ( including ambient occlusion pass missing in the folding plane shot because of hurried work due to deadline!)

VFX Challenge 402 – MacGyver

Hey everyone,

First post. I could’ve sworn I had a login that worked here. Been a lurker for a while.

Just wanted to start a placeholder thread. Joining in a little late, but better late than never… right? Hopefully I’ll be able to finish up by the end of the month. Moving on the 1st. Might be a close one…

Given the theme, I’d like everything to have a more practical/organic look. I shot some elements for my entry this afternoon. I’ll post some stills and WIP screenshots in the days to come. 🙂

bying mac from usa ship to canada?

OK guys, I need a new Mac Pro. Pretty soon. Its to expensive in canada…. the prices are just ludicrous since the mac pros were announced when the dollar was weak.

Is there any way I could buy one from the US? And have it shipped here to Canada directly, or via a friend who lives in the US new york?

Couldn’t a friend technically ‘send it to me as a gift, or loan’? That way I could get around the import duties? and tax

Though, what ARE the import duties/tax Is there any way to work it out? If they aren’t too much, I’d pay them.

DaVinci software only

now that DaVinci resolve is now at 995$ (full version, software only, on mac),
do you think it will start a new price war for DI systems?

if you have already a decent mac you just by the software and maybe a small panel (like tangent wave) and can do now full DI work.

anybody work on DaVinci? whats your feeling about it? do you think it will loose its "pro" status, just because now everybody can have it on its system?

is it a good move to bring DI forward (and to more studios/vendors)?
