Free Nuke Course Files: After Effects to Nuke (Compositing Academy)
Original title: After Effects to Nuke: 1 Hour FREE Course | Compositing in Nuke
Overview
These are the project files for Compositing Academy's free one-hour After Effects to Nuke course. The lessons translate AE habits into node thinking: layers versus nodes, premult, roto and masking, Merge operations, grading and resizing, then a smoke and fire composite with colour and contrast matching, glows, 2D embers and chromatic aberration, using only core nodes like Roto, Merge, Grade, Defocus and Transform.
Footage is included, the files are available on Gumroad for $0, and the course is compatible with Nuke Non-Commercial, whose download is pointed to in the description. It is the natural starting point for After Effects users moving to Nuke.
What You Can Learn
- Layers vs nodes, premult and Merge operations for AE users
- Compositing smoke and fire with colour/contrast matching and glows
- Adding 2D embers and chromatic aberration for a finished look
Access: Pay what you want ($0 allowed)
