Free Nuke Project Template: Hand-rolled Keying and Matte Comp, NK101 Lesson 4 (LearnVFX)
Original title: NK101 4-6 Assignment: Handrolled Matte Comp Part1
Overview
LearnVFX shares the Lesson 4 project files of its free NK101 Nuke course, which covers matte extraction and keying and how keyers and screen suppression work under the hood. The download is a simple Nuke template and images for the lesson assignment, in which a green screen foreground plate is keyed with a hand-rolled keyer and composited over a photographic background plate, together with a course notes PDF.
The assignment videos cover creating the beauty matte and core matte, red/blue screen suppression, edge fine tuning, grain matching and matching the foreground color to the background. The files are a name-your-own-price product on Gumroad, free at $0, and require an email address.
