Taught by Doug Hogan, this project-based course will guide you through the essentials of a project in NUKE, from the basics to advanced techniques. This “unfiltered” course offers a real and raw, behind-the-scenes look into the practical world of Nuke compositing, capturing the essence of a real studio environment in tone of voice.  It integrates traditional compositing techniques as well as newer AI/Machine Learning approaches such as ChatGPT, the Cattery, and even a bit of ComfyUI to getting the job done. You’ll learn how to prepare and process your footage, master keying tools, integrate keyed elements seamlessly, and tackle complex compositing challenges. This intermediate course is perfect for artists with some experience working with Nuke already, as well as those with backgrounds in Photoshop, After Effects, or similar applications.  This course includes footage from the outstanding ActionVFX stock footage library to teach the concepts and help members follow along. The base scenes used in the course are all from the free ActionVFX Practice Footage Library, which has over 500 shots you can use to help build your reel.  Doug Hogan is a Creative Technologist at Cheil/Samsung and has been a Nuke Compositor for over 15 years, with extensive experience in feature animation, film, and theme park industries. As the founder of VFXTalk, a vibrant community of VFX professionals, Doug is passionate about sharing knowledge and helping artists connect and grow.
