VFX Color Grading and Re-Lighting in Nuke - NK404




VFX Color Grading and Re-Lighting in Nuke - NK404

NK404!  The fourth part in Alex's Nuke series on Udemy, this time with a massive 8 hour course about advanced color grading and layering techniques.  Take your VFX Compositing to the next level.


Why learn from this course?

It's easy to learn Nuke nodes, not so much artistic and visual concepts and techniques to build complex composites.  This class heavily leans into learning more in depth about the artistic side of color, balance, highlights and shadow, and how to balance them all together.  By re-lighting a scene from day to night entirely, you are forced to combine all of these techniques!


Not only are you getting an 8 hour class for a bargain price, but you are being taught by an industry professional who knows the proper workflows!

Your instructor has worked on feature films such as:

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Avengers: Endgame
X-Men Apocalypse

The Mandalorian

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them

....And many more.

What projects do I get to work on in this course?:

This course will walk you through my composite of the shot shown in the preview.  I have split the class into "practical sessions" as well as "theory" and follow along sections.  This ensures you can actually apply what you are learning when we go over techniques, but also follow along in different areas!
