Free Nuke 12.2 Scripts: CG Refraction and Reflection AOVs (Tony Lyons)

Overview

These scripts accompany part 2.5 of Tony Lyons' CG Compositing Series on Compositing Mentor, which looks at the problem with refraction (transmission) and mirror reflection (indirect specular) passes and explores potential solutions. The zip holds seven .nk files saved in Nuke 12.2: a refractions and reflections demo script, an ArmorMech reflections mirror demo, updated transmission templates and AOV templates for Arnold, Blender, Octane and RedShift.

The renders used in the lesson, including GlassBalloons, ArmorMech renders with geo for a projection demo, JunkShop and Blender Classroom, are separate downloads on the page. The 90 KB zip is a free Google Drive download.
