Free Nuke 9 Template and Sample Shots: Keying and Compositing in NukeX (Don Starnes)
Original title: Keying and compositing in NukeX
Overview
Don Starnes shares his NukeX keying and compositing template and sample footage with his ProVideo Coalition tutorial, which uses NukeX 9.0. The TEMPLATE_composite.nknc script is built for general-purpose green screen compositing of a single shot and splits the key into edge, core and light wrap passes (the Three-Pass Method), using Keylight, an optional IBKGizmo section, the bl_Despillator gizmo and an auto_cleanplate clean plate generator.
The zip also holds foreground and background clips for two shots, a shadows example script (01_LS_composite.nknc) and the tutorial as a PDF. It is a free direct download from the author's site with no sign-up, and the .nknc files are Nuke Non-commercial scripts.
