LRC - some images from my comped shots

An update on lighting, rendering and compositing . . . here are some stills from my comps:

Comping: sample Nuke script

Now that I've finally fixed my rendering problems and have some frames to play with I'm LOVING using Nuke.

With less than two weeks to learn Nuke from scratch and comp my shots I've (obviously) barely scratched the surface, but it's clearly a genius software (and whoever thought of the tab function deserves a knighthood, or at least a pint).

Really all I've had time for in Nuke is to realise how much functionality there is which I'm not going to get my head around in time for my masters hand-in ;) but below is a sample script from one of my shots which has the basics (grades, colour correction, depth, DoF, motion blur etc) plus a few dust particles, god rays and a contour line overlay for good measure.

Comping: Contour Test

And here's a test of adding in outlines which were generated using mental ray contour shaders . . .
