Free Nuke 12.2 Script: Categories of Render Passes (Tony Lyons)
Original title: CG Compositing Series – 1.2 Categories of Passes (Project Files)
Overview
This project file belongs to lesson 1.2, Categories of Passes, in Tony Lyons' CG Compositing Series on Compositing Mentor, saved from Nuke 12.2. The lesson sorts render passes into Beauty-rebuild passes versus Data passes and explains the four categories: Material AOVs, Light Groups, Utilities and IDs, with the demo script CG_Compositing_Series_1_2_Categories_of_Passes_v04.nk demonstrating the pass structure.
The 2.8 MB zip (one .nk plus the slides PDF) is a free direct Google Drive download, while the FruitBowl renders are a separate download shared with lesson 1.1. It is a clear primer for compositors who want to understand what each AOV is for before rebuilding a beauty.
