[@balaturimella8953]

Hello, thanks for your time and this is a Great video. Am actually VFX/compositing student now. So, just wanted to ask you one thing that..... If you're going to give any suggestions/tips to new composting students then, which area of expertise in Compositing would you suggest to improvise in their skills. Like, Rotoscoping, Keying, Deep Compositing or any other.

[@avijitpanda1714]

Thank you sir. I learned lot from video. Where i can download footage, cgi passes, for practicing to improve my self. Please help me...

[@alejandrobeamudromero8456]

Hey Hugo, Do you have any web that you think I can learn and undestarnd everything about the channels like Vray for maya or something like that?

[@ahmedaborady7883]

Please i would love to see a video about all Redshift AOVs that you use in your pipeline and how to composite them

[@HugosDesk]

I have already done that a few times, check my videos or check my second channel with my Twitch streams. Cheers

[@ahmedaborady7883]

@@HugosDesk yes i remember i go through your videos a lot as a reference :) thanks for all great content if you please can point me to the video title?

[@JacekIrzykowski]

Great tutorials and webinar Hugo! I'm a matte painter but realize more and more that having extensive comp knowledge is very helpful once working on shots that include dmp's. I was wondering if you share any of your scripts through your education schemes? Are they optional for example once you sing up for your Patreon?

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Yes it is true, note an more DMP is being done in Nike so makes perfect sense. Regarding the scripts, yes if you support my Patreon on te $25 or above you get the Nuke script and a few frames from the comp of that month’s tutorial. I hope to see you on Patreon. www.patreon.com/hugosdesk

[@santoshvagde3264]

I had a one question I suppose to characters layer I have separate in a key light pass in shuffle node and downside connect the unpremult node so I finished the my color correct so downside I am connect the premult node ya not?? Ya either my final comp colour correct use the premult node

[@lobos9182]

Cool work, for the wather droping on the face, that wather is a 2d animation, or is it rendered in 3d and then comp?

[@HugosDesk]

The water is 2D stock footage projected in 3D inside Nuke. Just like this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIC9m2ukmKanbcU

Hello Sir, which laptop good for vfx artist? can u suggest me

[@hemanthsaji3606]

19:40 Can somebody please tell me what is Raw passes ? How do I know if my passes are RAW ?

[@vfxyug9099]

importing so huge alembic file is so heavy... still a lot to learn in this tutorial.... 2nd part was awesome...

[@HugosDesk]

You can make a lower poly version of the geo so it is faster. Anyway for me the positives outweigh the negatives since having the geo on the comp is so useful. If you want to see more join me on Twitch. Made my first stream 2 days ago and will continue on Sunday. I am compositing a full CG shot live. twitch.tv/hugosdesk/

[@vfxyug9099]

@@HugosDesk sure..

[@UnrivaledAnimator]

Question: does having so many shuffle nodes slow down the comp and how do you figure out whats wrong if you comp doesnt look like the beauty

[@HugosDesk]

Not really, It is pretty fast. Never had issues. Regarding the beauty not matching, if you minus all the passes from the beauty you get whatever is missing. That way you can request CG from any missing passes. Cheers

@@HugosDesk thank you, i appreciate your timely answer

Hello Hugo! I have two questions. 1. Will the Far Cry New Dawn Teaser shot be deconstructed? 2. The Nuke Course, Will it start again someday? and if yes, will there be a funding stage again?

[@HugosDesk]

Hi, yes and yes. The FarCry shot was voted by my Patreons so it will be online at some point. We will be launching the course in Kickstarter just like the last time. Thanks

[@oliverwildt6041]

@@HugosDesk Happy to hear this! Is there already a date for the next time the course will run! Unfortunately i missed it last time - i cant wait to join the course!

Cool, it will be announced in a few months from now.

Can you give the file..

[@pika9985]

one simple word .. "more" , do more instructions like this video again sir .

[@HugosDesk]

Sorry but I do a lot of videos and streams. They take a lot of time to make. I am trying my friend but I need to prioritise my work since KZbin only pays like £100 per month at the moment. It’s too little. They don’t support small creators like me. Sorry

[@KZLR]

@@HugosDesk They used to support small creators, then they stopped. They stifle speech and individuals trying to make a name. It's truly a shame.

[@HugosDesk]

Find Twitch a much better platform with a 50/50 profit split. I like them. I am getting the same on Twitch in a 1 month then 1 year on KZbin! It’s crazy!

[@KZLR]

@@HugosDesk That's incredible, I'm going to look into Twitch for future projects! Also I'll have to look for your channel there.

[@Shatavartverma]

Sir i have checked on nuke website about the pc requirments for nuke...the minimum ram is 8 gb and i have 16 gb installed ...should i upgrade ram to some where about 48 gb????or not

[@HugosDesk]

Ram is super important. I have 128gb myself. Try to have at least 32gb but try o get 64gb

[@Shatavartverma]

@@HugosDesk ok thnxxx !!!! thats what i was asking !!!!!

[@Shatavartverma]

sir one last question what gpu would u recommend..... i mean which gpu should be at least taken in consideration????

[@HugosDesk]

If running Windows I recommend getting a Nvidia Quadro P4000 or P5000 if you can’t afford that try getting a 1080 or a 1070 at least. And if you have a good budget get a Quadro RTX

[@Shatavartverma]

can i get any cg passes

[@snyyx]

Wait.. MAC ? Always thought it was trash for rendering can someone explain ? O.o

[@HugosDesk]

Well Mac, Linux, Windows, the OS is not important, what matters is what you do with it! They all work just fine if you know what you are doing!

[@snyyx]

@@HugosDesk Oh so you can build a pc like you would any pc, then put mac os in it ? Like a 3090 ti in a mac is possible ?

[@HugosDesk]

@@snyyx Not really, I use a Mac Pro 2019 with two AMD GPUs with 32GB of VRAM each. Works great with RedShift!
