Overview

This demo script, CG_Compositing_Series_LightGroups_Demo_v07.nk, accompanies lesson 3.1 of Tony Lyons' CG Compositing Series and was saved in Nuke 15.1v4. It shows Light Group and AOV rebuilds from Blender (Junkyard), Arnold, Octane and Redshift (FruitBowl) renders, with per-light exposure and saturation tweaks and a comparison of destructive versus non-destructive workflows.

The roughly 400 KB .nk is a free direct download from Google Drive, a slides PDF is also provided, and the Junkyard light group renders (115 MB) and FruitBowl renders (1.61 GB) are downloaded separately. It is aimed at compositors who want to relight CG per light in the comp.
