Matte Painting
In this module, you’ll learn to create stunning digital matte paintings. We’ll cover the careful selection of visual references to maintain consistency, focusing on lighting and color uniformity. You’ll explore techniques for layering to add depth and detail to your scenes and methods for seamlessly integrating elements. Using Nuke, we’ll add subtle movements to environment components, bringing your creations to life. You’ll also become familiar with tools in Nuke that streamline integration and learn resourceful ways to reuse assets, optimizing your workflow for future projects.Shot 01
This module introduces the project and outlines the workflow. You’ll learn techniques to correct errors and refine details, utilizing Nuke to integrate digital and real elements with precision. We’ll use matte painting to craft realistic environments and address challenges like outdoor wind effects. You’ll learn to create digital trees and enhance them with stock elements like leaves. Additionally, we’ll focus on optimizing your VFX workflow for flexibility, enabling efficient adjustments and improved adaptability in complex projects.Shot 02
Here, we’ll tackle a more complex scene within our sequence. Starting with chroma key challenges and color compression, you’ll integrate effects like bullet impacts and interactive lights for a dynamic plane sequence. We’ll dive into look development for character shots, adding smoke, dirt explosions, and volumetric effects to breathe life into your scenes. This module ensures a comprehensive approach to creating captivating, high-quality shots.Shot 03
In this module, you’ll learn to create fully computer-generated (Full CG) shots with top-tier quality. We’ll enhance close-up textures using matte painting techniques and seamlessly integrate CGI with real environments. You’ll master balancing and creating new elements directly in Nuke, leveraging Deep Compositing for intricate atmospheric effects. Additional lessons include advanced color adjustments to enhance realism and incorporating sparks, fire, and other dynamic elements. The emphasis will be on maintaining visual consistency across your project for a cohesive narrative.Shot 04
This module focuses on manipulating plates and resolving edge issues. We’ll correct tracking problems with the CG robot and integrate it into the plate with added realism, such as raindrop effects. You’ll learn to prepare and manipulate masks with geometry tools and explore procedural lookdev techniques for laser beams. We’ll also cover time-saving methods for creating variations in shots and combining light effects to achieve a polished, realistic final result.Shot 05
The final shot combines matte painting, CG, and particle effects to create a seamless integration of elements like trees, fire, and smoke. You’ll focus on color correction, lighting, and optical effects such as heat distortion and camera movements. Additionally, we’ll address common issues like artifacts and noise, ensuring a high-quality final composition.Particles
In this concluding module, you’ll learn efficient particle generation using simple yet effective techniques. We’ll create a reusable setup optimized for memory and performance, applicable to a wide range of projects.Included Materials
You’ll have access to plates, renders, assets, and scripts—everything you need to practice, enhance your skills, and improve your portfolio.More Information
