This week, we started to look at the software Nuke, and navigating around it.
We worked with nodes and some effects in rendering we can start to do. This was similar to layering and at first grasping nodes seemed complicated however I got to terms with creating seperate nodes and how connecting them to ecahother and the veiwer worked.
Our task was to create a circle with different layers and effects ontop of a checkered background. With help from peers and our teacher, I began to create the image below.
I learnt the usefulness of labeling nodes, the transform, blur and gradient tools, and how these can all work together.
Work from home
At the end of the session, we learned about colour selection and pixels in Nuke. Pressing r shows the red in an image through white on the screen, pressing g shows the green etc. Zooming into pixels shows the exact colour of each pixel on the viewer. I played around with this with various images and learnt a better undestanding of the tools Nuke can offer in terms of colour selection.
