What other Nuke tutorials do you want to see? 🤔

[Julmeni]

Thank you so much for this series! One of the few truly concise introductions to Nuke.

[illuminations-vfx]

One of the best Nuke tutorials I have seen. Thank you so much for your hard work!

[alleia_ricketts]

after stressing and not finding a proper tutorial, this literally help me with my composting project, thank you so

[ANigerianPrince]

It’s great when you find someone who knows more than you and teaches in a way that you resonate with. I’m excited to get this project file and follow along. Thank you for making it.

This was enough for me to switch over to nuke. This thing gives you complete control!. Great tut. I have all the info I need from this tut!

I've been a VFX artist (Flame) for over 10 years and it was only today that I learned that chroma is an abbreviation for chrominance, a word I've never heard before. Just goes to show that there's always more that we can learn!

[chrisodesu]

I would love to see more about set extensions as well. I love your content!

[srmono]

I don't use Nuke and this was so useful! A masterclass in keying. Thanks man!

[artex._]

Great video!
I would love to see a follow up on how to get good hair details while keying.

Pretty useful and a great video! Got a question about the Gizmo. Where can I find "ColourEdge", does this one belong to a Gizmo pack or something? I couldn't find it... Cheers!

[cg-school]

Nice and clean tutorial! Great channel!

[RedFarol]

Hi Alfie, thank u for ur videos <3. Would like to ask u why dont use denoise before keying? Thanks

[wjm]

thanks for sharing these great tips, was just thinking wouldnt the edge extension trick also eliminate the need to do the edge painting if you extend the edges far enough? Also do you have any tips for blending edge and core mattes such that the transition is smooth between the two mattes?

[angulurivamshi]

Hello @Alfie Excellent video. why did you stop with just one video. please continue the keying series.

[suzelise]

Is there reason why you would stack the IBKcolour nodes rather than just increasing the size?

[sadness]

Thx for the great work 💚 please Keep doing nuke videos 💚

[amsdigital]

That edge painting tip is so useful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! Quick question for you, from your experience, what's your opinion on green tracking markers on a green screen? I heard recently that that's the way to go, and after dealing with some footage with a green screen with yellow tracking markers, I'm definitely sick of the way that that combination screws with hair. Any strong opinions either way?

[RedFarol]

Once u do the edge extend how do u finish the hair part? It is still in grey isnt it?

Thank u

[Elizabeth_Postol]

Do you use ColorSmear gizmo or any similar?
