Well, I find this thread very interesting, you see... I'm a senior student from AI miu... unfortunately we dont get to learn nuke. We do have one class for Eyeon Fusion but it only covered the basics. I've been trying to move to nuke (since I've heard its becoming the industry standard, and my goal is to become a movie compositor) but its been quite difficult since the names of the nodes change ,the IBK, etc... plus we don't get taught about work pipelines/work flow... so I guess it could be a good idea to kind of develop a mini project within the tutoring/training so people can have an overall understanding of what nuke is used for and all that is capable of...

I would like to see the math and logic behind the IBK.
I've seen enough tutorials on how to use it, but I want to know why it does what it does, and how to achieve the same results outside of the IBK using math, just to fully understand it, and use that methodology to create better keys when IBK default settings can't hack it.

This sounds fantastic! Seeing a revised version of your first tutorial-series (which I´m a fan of also) with some advanced topics like the mentioned projection-techniques and cleanplate-creation would be quite interesting. It would be great if you could cover the handling of the uv-pass to create object-mattes or the generel 3d-pass utilization process. Add Arunas keying part (as a guest instructor?!) to the mix and you´ve got a killer package rob.
If Gentle Fury´s Gizmos make it in we have kind of a vfxtalk allstar dvd

You could set up a prepurchase-button right now...

cheers

Looking forward to the new DVD's! It took me a long time to stop laughing after the comment on the notch filtering, "Avoid like the plague, but hey, It's in there just in case you get drunk one day and decide to go soft on everything"

when we will see some light? are u still planning on making it? thanks.

yeah how hard can it be to make a quality dvd? jeez!

anyway...hope it comes out soon...looking forward to it!

My suggestion is to make something realistic with a real footage and Mattepainting with 3D Camera Projection - but no Fantasy or other cheat stuff or still images - Nuke is use for Real MOVIES.....

Here are many stuff for this DVD:

Make Nuke for Production Nuke DVD(s)!

ps.: Royal Footage not very expensive

i would be interested in use vector data from 3d software to make a motion blur... i read a lot of ways to do it but i need a good explanation about that, and is a every day work...

Hey Rob,

...Another big fan of your first series! Glad to hear these might be happening, I too would love to get my head around LWF in production as this has been the most confusing topic ever. I'd also be interested in real Production work flows on how one uses Vector Data and Zdepth correctly within a Nuke pipeline. If Aruna gave up some of his techniques on proper Keying and tips and tricks on his work flow that would be awesome as well. The both of you are seasoned and respected vets and this would help inspire us to work as efficient as possible! Good luck and looking forward to these seeing the light of day real soon...I know this is a bit off topic but I miss those vfxtalk meetings another great source of inspiration came out of those too...


Cheers
