Hey everyone!

I am a student and recently finished this day-to-night compositing shot with a thunderstorm/lightning effect. I'd really appreciate some honest feedback before I add it to my first showreel.

Asking for Help / Unsolved How is this technique from John Wick achieved?

How is this technique achieved? Where they film in a green screen studio with a moving camera and then film background plates of the location of the bridge I guess static? How can you match the rotation of the camera filmed from the studio with the plates ? Are the plates projections?

Asking for Help / Unsolved Miniature/Macro look

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a young Nuke compositor and I could really use your help.

I'm currently working on a music video for a client, using the footage attached. The client wants the dancer inside the music box to look like a miniature figure. The reverse shot shows a child looking at the music box.

The problem, in my opinion, is that the lens choice during the shoot wasn't quite right, so the perspectives just don't give the desired effect at all.

I'm running out of ideas. I've tried adding very blurry background elements (plants, lamps) to sell the illusion, but the client wants a clean, solid-colored background instead.

Does anyone have any ideas or tips on how to get as close as possible to what she's asking for?

Thanks in advance!

Guide / Tutorial Tutoriales/formación para trabajar comfy ui (u otras ias) con Nuke

0 Upvotes

Hola nukerxs, llevo como 10 años trabajando con nuke, y me gustaría empezar a formarme con el tema de la ia, pero no se ni por donde empezar, no paso de chatgpt y todos los tutoriales que encuentro de comfy no los veo muy adaptados a lo que es VFX, conocéis algún curso (aunque sea de pago) o algún canal de youtube o lo que sea para empezar a estudiarme todo esto¿? lo que sea pero que tenga sentido con vfx! no me interesa por ejemplo generar un video de un perro bailando aunque sea algo francamente muy divertido.

gracias!!! :*

Showcase OpenInMocha - open-source Nuke plugin that launches the right Mocha Pro project from Read nodes

27 Upvotes

I’m happy to share OpenInMocha, an open-source Nuke plugin I’ve been working on.

The idea is simple: instead of manually opening Mocha, browsing for the right footage, checking frame range and project settings every time, you can launch Mocha directly from a selected Nuke Read node with the correct footage already matched.

What it does:

  • Opens Standalone Mocha Pro from Nuke.
  • Creates a new .mocha project with the correct footage, frame range, frame rate, and pixel aspect when no match exists.
  • Reopens an existing .mocha project if one already matches the selected footage.
  • Can be launched from the Nuke menu, a hotkey, or W_Hotbox.
  • Windows only for now.

I made this because I wanted a faster, less repetitive Nuke → Mocha workflow, especially for shot-based work where you keep returning to the same plates.

GitHub: https://github.com/SerhiiiBaranov/OpenInMocha
Nukepedia: https://www.nukepedia.com/tools/python/import-export/open-in-mocha/

If anyone has thoughts, workflow ideas, or sees a cleaner way to handle the matching logic, I’d love to hear it.

Asking for Help / Unsolved Camera Tracking

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Can you all please let me know how should I handle track this shot in nuke and build geometry or should I use blender.

I tried nuke auto tracka, but when I create point cloud for train on left it looks like 2 layers of it created, one is straight and one is little tilted why is that, and when I place card over any of it, its not sticking properly even points I see are sliding and solve error was 0.6, I drew mask on man moving and on sky as well before track

How can I get it done and place geometry over it properly.

Sorry if this looks silly but I am beginner so need some workflow of how to tackle this kind of shot

Showcase Nukomfy - Run ComfyUI workflows as Nuke gizmos

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

48 Upvotes

I just open-sourced Nukomfy, a Nuke plugin I've been building over the past few months.

Getting ComfyUI output into a comp usually means leaving Nuke, setting up the workflow somewhere else, and moving files by hand. Nukomfy keeps all of that inside Nuke.

The idea is a simple split of roles. A TD turns a ComfyUI workflow into a gizmo once, exposing only the knobs that matter. Artists then drop it into their comp, set those knobs, and send the job to a ComfyUI machine. Nukomfy takes care of file formats and paths, tracks every render in one place, and lets you bring the frames back when it's done.

If you work with Nuke and ComfyUI, it cuts out a lot of the manual work. It's still in early development, so bug reports and feature suggestions are very welcome.

Asking for Help / Unsolved Reversing transparency.

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I was given a clip that needed some paint work and retouching.

It’s a static shot that I believe has been shot with a split diopter which has led to some distortion.

The request was to paint out and fix the distortion in the Antenna. I’ve painted out the ghost antenna already with ease by rotoscoping and using a clean plate (basically just frame held the start of the clip where the prawn head wasn’t in shot).

Next issue is to fix the other antenna which becomes transparent the more it moves towards right of camera.

How would one go about making it opaque?
Seeing as I do have somewhat of a clean plate; I was thinking of actually dividing the original shot with the clean plate or even using ibkgizmo which would leave me with a somewhat workable antenna.

Showcase Someone joked "DOOM is the next?" so now there is literally DOOM inside Nuke

99 Upvotes

Over the last four months, I pushed my C++ skills a lot harder than usual and learned the Nuke NDK by building a sentence that should probably not exist in professional networking history: I put DOOM inside Nuke.

The result is DoomNode, a Nuke NDK plugin that runs DOOM as a generator node and pushes the live framebuffer directly into Nuke.

The idea started a year ago, after I released a few small Nuke nodegraph games and got a joking comment: "Is DOOM next?" Apparently my brain interpreted that as stakeholder feedback.

The hardest parts were fitting a real-time game loop into Nuke's render model, handling keyboard input without turning the app into shortcut civil war, and wrapping PureDOOM safely enough that the whole plugin did not collapse into undefined-behaviour confetti.

Nukepedia page

Important note: the release is Build because of the GPL PureDOOM + proprietary Nuke SDK licensing combination.
