Week 14: Nuke Relighting/grading

During this class we were talking about how CG is used in Nuke. We see depending on the CG built we are giving how many more channels we have instead of only RGB. This will help us work better on the model that we get and be able to create better lighting, tones and shades. For our lightings we need to merg is down with the plus merge and if we are doing shadows we will need to work with the multiply merge node. This is a given to us by Gonzalo. During this class we learned all about the AOV’s.

Nodes example during class

AOV’s (Arbitrary Output Variables) are primarily use of the passes that create additional outputs for your render. We got given an example during class to work on. This example was a little legocar that was on a real life street. As for the Lego car image we got with different outputs. These output are for example the indirect, diffuse or specular (see the nodes above). We got to play around in these nodes to create a realistic looking Legocar in the scene given to us. So we grabbed those different outputs and graded each individual pass as we please with a grade.

For this class we also got homework for next week. It was a little bit the same as the lego car but then with a different Car and a street/plate of our choice. The image just below this texts shows you the different outputs of the CG model given to us by Gonzalo.

Nodes for car grading

For this we also got an example node system going on and we could use this for giving the car. I used this example and tried to match the car with the chosen background. So again I graded the different outputs I was given and tried to match the greenish glow that the background has. The first image you see below this text is the image of the car in the chosen scene but then unedited. The one below that image has been the one I added, for color I think I have done a good job blending in the car with the plate. the only thing that is a little bit off is where it shows the glow part of what would be the light reflecting off the car.
