Here is your
bi-weekly, bite-sized
round-up of cool things to help
you do more in Nuke!
REBUILD
BAD / MISSING FRAMES USING
OFLOW
Sometimes you might receive a plate to
stabilize with heavy motion blur that needs
smoothing out, or a CG render where one or
two frames are broken. Richard
Frazer made this
handy gizmo to easily solve this
issue!
This gizmo uses OFlow to interpolate between
two correct frames, and creates a brand new
frame to replace your errant one. For a more
detailed run-down, you can read
more about how the gizmo works
here.
GEOTRACKER
v1.3
KeenTools has just released an update to
their GeoTracker node, with some huge
improvements and new features. You
can watch
a demo video here or download
a trial version to play with
for 15 days.
Having the ability to track things in Nuke
opens up a world of possibility for things
like beauty work, complex monitor comps,
object replacement, and so many other
things! Definitely worth diving in and
taking a look at this plugin.
FACE
REPLACEMENT WITH
FAKEAPP
A user named derpfakes on YouTube
caught my attention with this
video, comparing ILM's digital face
replacement in Rogue One with his own result
using an app called FakeApp. He claims his
result was "completed in the time it takes
to watch an episode of the Simpsons". Super
impressive!
If you would like to play around with
FakeApp, you can download
it here and find install
/ troubleshooting instructions on
Reddit. It's a little involved, but
produces some pretty reasonable results with
very minimal effort! I would love to see any
examples of your creations if you have any
success using the tool.
I
would love some
feedback on this
newsletter. If
you have any
comments, or
suggestions for
things to add to
the next issue,
simply respond
to this
email!
