Realflow mesh

Hello,
I am trying to create a simulation where 2 liquids come from different emitters & fall into a funnel , the simulation works fine but when i try to create the mesh it simply doesn’t happen. I am using realflow 5 & trying to create standard mesh.

Also, When i take a new file & then create a mesh it works absolutely fine. Tried everything I knew please any suggestions would help.

Thanks.

Alpha problem

OK so i been smashing nuke for the last 2 months and its wicked, but there are somethings i dont know that are probably simple fix but when you have an EXR image with no alpha, when i use a merge node with over, it of blends the layers together instead of A over B. Not sure how to solve this as my usual fix is > roto > premult the image.

Whats an easier way?

Cheers guys 🙂

“Spread” Fade in?

So I have these bunch of layers that I want faded in on a comp, but I don’t want the uniformly faded in, but spreaded, as in different areas of the layer randomly fading in on different timings. Can this be accomplished without creating lots and lots of masks for each layer?

Cheers

Compositing Image Quality

Hey everyone,

The thing I seem to be unable to find is how to make the different sources match in terms of image quality.

Say I had a shot from an 80s film and I wanted to composite either a 3d object or a video of me into the scene how would you match the actual quality.

Or if I wanted to composite something into a video shot on a camera phone, how do I match the quality.

Ive seen a few compositing books out there but only online, some with good reviews and others that dont have any, and as I the local shops dont have them I cant check them out. So I was wondering are there / do the composting books go over all the aspects, such as colour grading, matching focus, quality, lighting etc? … and when you learn compositing, if I purchased a book specifically for composting is a specific programme would that information still be good even if I used a different programme? Basically is it theory or application specific information that is taught? And the same for video and photos, would a compositing book for photoshop be transferable to video with after effects for example?…

Thanks

fxphd Nuke compositing classes – suggestions needed :)

Hi everyone!

I’m sorry to be asking about this but I’m planning to sign up for April11 term on fxphd. I’m planning to apply as (entry level / first time) Nuke compositor / stereo compositor after the term, and I’m wondering what could be the best nuke/stereo nuke courses I’ll be taking that you know (or you’ve taken before) that will be worth to take and learn.

I’m planning to sign up for the 5 courses, three courses are already my final choices, they are:

1. Intermediate Nuke
2. Advanced Nuke
3. Intro to Maya 11

I’m still in dilemma for the remaining 2 courses, among to choose are:

1. Nuke and Sterescopic
2. Nuke 2D to 3D Stereo Conversion
3. Nuke Stereoscopic Workshop ( i hope they still have this in April)
4. Roto Techniques for Stereoscopic Conversion ( i hope they still have this in April)

Just a note, i don’t have yet any experiences with compositing and roto in the real industry, and i want to choose the courses well so I’ll get prepared with my reel and to have much confidence the moment i apply to vfx houses.

Thank you in advance for the help and suggestions. I owe you this. Hope to hear from everyone. 😀

Cheers!
