@thenout6 жыл бұрын
For modeling and texturing.. yeah, it might make sense. But since this is a camera projection setup, there's no big (time) advantage doing it in 3D. Also, in Nuke you get a faster feedback, and bear in mind that you need to retouch your 3D render in Nuke anyhow, they seldom come out of 3D perfectly, you always have artifacts and stuff to deal with. Also, if the director later on decides to change the lighting for example, you wouldn't have to go through 3D, you can just pull it off in Nuke (with reasonable expertise).

This is for such a short visual. Imagine the amount of pain staking work that goes into a moving animation on top of a cgi background say in a marvel film for instance. Now watch the credits as the actresses, actors, directors, composers and other contributers get a nice line for their names and titles whilst the concept artists, animators, vfx artists, digital artists, cgi artists and creature artists fly by in a jumbled mess. You know they practically made that film in a small studio off location with crunch times forcing them to work 80 hour weeks and they probably couldn't even find their own names in the credits.

Yup, welcome to our business :) You're in it for the love for film really, and only if you fancy being in a high level environment. I'm compositing for commercials.

@thenout6 жыл бұрын
Jeff Goldblum You flirting with the idea of getting a footing in the industry? Start with the book "The Art and Science of Digital Compositing" by Ron Brinkmann, it's kinda like the bible. Get yourself a free copy of Nuke Non-Commercial, and try to recreate the math given in the book. What I'd like to point out specifically is that it's quite possible to learn a few techniques these days with tutorials and stuff, and you might actually be able to sell yourself at some point (if you don't want to pursue it as a hobby, that is). But you will falter sooner or later if you only use online resources, trust me. What I did to up my game is to make VFX heavy music videos for friends. I had the freedom to do what I want and try out new techniques without a strict deadline. I remember trying to figure out a resolution to specific problems for days on end until it finally clicked. Months and years down the road, you will be glad to remember all your dirty tricks. They'll sum up. Another thing is how you view this kind of work. If you view it as a sophisticated, math-heavy subject, you might get turned off by the idea. I look at it as a puzzle game. Really... just organizing your script efficiently is like putting a well oiled command and conquer base together, and if your script is well set up you will be able to tackle any demand and challenge. But it's a tough game nonetheless, taking years to master.
