The Foundry has made the latest beta of its flagship compositing software NUKE (version 9) available to current NUKE and NUKEX customers holding valid maintenance. NUKEX customers will also have access to the NUKEX and NUKE STUDIO beta releases.
I know a couple of artist that are doing good work at DD[Los Angeles]. Not on feature films but still doing very high end work. DD seems to be doing better than say R&H. It's a slow process.
On the Roof Tops:
During the last one and a half years, we have visited Hong Kong several times. We have been to so many places and now I have to admit that Hong Kong is a place where I would like to live. A year and a half ago, after visiting Singapore, I assumed that it was the real paradise, but I was mistaking.
Here is a link to all the written tutorials on Nukepedia. Don't ever say your bored. I have somrthing for you to read.
There are tutorials on expressions to animating a sky based on luminance.
Another one, enjoy.
Great photo.
Mr. Olson:
As usual, the compositing role was the last step in the process.
Nuke is amazing. I love being a compositor.

This is a little thing that have frustrated me for a while. The Hue Rotation in the HueShift node does some wierd and wrong calculations.
So he just wrote a blinkscript node that does it right.
Mads:
If you have a 3D tracked scene, and build up some geometry with the modelbuilder, you need to pick a frame or frames you want to project from to get the best possible texture. This is usually a bit of guess work and some manual fixes. But I wanted to see if i could calculate the optimal frames to project from.
Good stuff from Mads again. Have a look.
