Final Scene in NUKE

I rendered out my scene into NUKE, and the camera, heres what it looks like.

I imported basic wall geometry also so I knew the rough area of my scene.

The amazing thing is that if I needed to add other objects to the scene, I could just model them in maya, put them into place, then import into NUKE and relight it.

I just need to bring in my city and do some projections onto geometry, then to add flying stuff etc to the BG. Then for the stuff to bring it to life, colour correction, blurs, flares etc.

I found a really nice python script to let me export stuff into NUKE easily called maya2nuke, I was having troubles just exporting my camera into an FBX file, so I found this.

Works in 2012 perfectly.

I also rendered out a depth pass too to help with compositing, and I will render out a normals pass later too.

Cheers,

Rendering.

I’m rendering out now into different passes, I only have 2 weeks to go and if i need to add more to my scene I’ll just render it out seperately.

Almost done with the interior.

Still need to add some more stuff to the room, then I will do most of the lighting effects in NUKE. I will export the camera animation from my scene too so I can integrate the background city better.

New stop motion film – DINO

More clean plate work

Removed the people and the car to prepare my scene for compositing

Some cleanup work progress

Working on this shot to remove the car in the BG, almost there. just need to fix the paint work on the road and sort the roto

Getting there…

Lost a load of work I did the past few days because Maya screwed me over, but heres progress.

I’m still determined to finish, but I’m not as motivated any more as I just don’t enjoy this shot I’m creating too much, that’s how the world works though I suppose. I’m spending alot more time on other projects such as keying/cleanup/projection work for other films and fxphd courses.

But everythings good this shot will be finished soon enough, I just need to add stuff to the room still to give it substance, fix the lighting a bit, and render.

Richard Van De Steenoven – Roto/Prep Artist/Compositor Showreel March 2012

I’m just finishing up on some compositing work for another short film and I will be adding these shots to my reel next month. Basically lots of keying and projections in NUKE to create sets from miniature model images.

Catch you on the flip side bro’
