Nuke 6 : Digital Compositing with Nuke (101 Nuke End User Certification Program)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This five day or 10 nights hands-on course introduces students the primary feature set and basic interface of Nuke. Nuke has a unique channel based approach and supports stereoscopic imaging, state-of-the art image based keying and full 3D compositing including the capability to import geometry, lights, cameras and shaders. Using customized visual effects shots created for this course, students will learn to combine live action shots with computer-generated elements, using blue and green screen shots. Combining motion tracking data into Nuke’s 3D compositing world. Creating multi-layer composites using Nuke’s Node tree organizational structure.

Certification
By attending this certified course, you will receive an official completion certificate from The Foundry Training Central Asia. Differentiate yourself to employers, and prospective clients as an Certified Nuke End User. By passing certification exams, you become an Certified Nuke End User for a chosen level. All certificate issued is recognized by The Foundry and successful candidates will be listed in the official The Foundry Training Central Asia Website.
