Composting In Nuke (Week 1-8)
Release date:2021, June
Author:Nick Chamberlain
Skill level:Beginner
Language:English
Exercise files:Yes
The most overlooked skill to hone as a CG and FX artist is compositing. With it, you can take a plain-looking raw FX pass and make it shine! That’s where the power of Nuke comes into play…
Nuke is the industry-standard compositing program and is (in our opinion) the best tool on the market.
In this course, we’ll show you how to use Nuke from the ground up. You don’t need any experience prior to this class as we will cover the basics starting in week 1. Week by week we will build our knowledge of Nuke as the shots increase in complexity and variety.
In the final weeks, we will be compositing several fully CG shots! This is your opportunity to composite ground-breaking FX.
Instructor
NICK CHAMBERLAIN, A COMPOSITING LEGEND.
Nick is currently a Compositing Supervisor at Barnstorm VFX, working primarily on television shows (with the occasional feature film). Over the last 5 and a half years, Nick has received many award nominations for his work including 2 Primetime Emmy nominations and 3 VES nominations.
Working in television has taught him not only how to realistically composite shots, but also how to composite efficiently and quickly to match the break-neck speed of television schedules.
Nick is also a Houdini FX user and highly involved in most dynamics-heavy sequences for Barnstorm VFX – typically as a Compositing Supervisor, but also occasionally as an FX artist. He enjoys teaching his fellow artists and is always absorbing as many new techniques and workflows as he can to improve his craft.
TIME COMMITMENT
This course will require 5-10 hours a week with 40-80 total hours of active learning and practice by the end of the course.
Your exact time commitment per week will vary based on the topic, assignment, and personal learning style. We strongly recommend dedicating time each week to learn and practice. If you ever fall behind, don’t worry, you will have lifetime access to the lessons.

It seems all good. Probably a network issue. I will create a winrar archive with the 3% recovery record, so if you had issues downloading files you still can extract files.
all files have been updated, thanks
Do I have to buy a mediafile premium account to watch videos?
5-8 weeks Project Files Are corrupted. I cannot extract them. They don’t have an extension. I don’t know how to access them. I use 7zip.
Error :-
“Cannot open the file as [7z] archive
Unexpected end of data.”
This error is shown for all the files.
Also does all 60 materials files carries different files in them?
all files have peen reuploaded. please try again downloaded the corrupted volumes
Still facing this error message. pls help !
“Cannot open the file as [7z] archive
Unexpected end of data”
Please google “7zip check archive consistency” and “WinRAR check archive.” I have added an extra 3% of data to rar volumes so that you can still extract files even if an error occurs while downloading. Find the corrupted 7zip volume(s) and redownload its rar version.
how to cancel an automatic subscription every week. I want to purchase a one-time premium I don’t want an automatic amount deduction.
We do not have recurring subscriptions
when will be this course avaliable free for all users

Dear Adim im facing issue in extracting files. can you reupload it or please leave a message when will you reupolad it. thanks
all archive files are good, please check my comments above
*.7z.rar -> *.7z -> files/folders
1. extract *.7z.rar with WinRAR to get *.7z
2. extract *.7z with 7zip to get the content
We start using WinRAR for big files to add 3% of extra data in case your download is corrupted
really thanks strawberry
should i have to download all files and then i have to extract it with winRAR and Use 7Zip . right?
correct
can i extract all 60 files one by one strawberry? i mean downloading 1 file then extract like that or download all 60 files and extract.
This is like the Russian doll. You can download them one after one and extract them with WinRAR to get *.7z.XXX. But for 7z extraction, you need all 7z volumes in one folder.
strawberry after extracting with winrar . in 7zip extracted files for example the (name) of the is WEEK 5-8.7z.006 (TYPE) is 006 not 7z file how to extract it.
this is a multi-volume 7z archive, keep all of 7z.XXX files in one folder and then extract content from the first one. 7zip can recognize all volumes.
I just downloaded it today 28-12-22, and part 1 of weeks 5-8 is still corrupted, unable to extract it, cant you reupload it? only this part corrupt
WEEK 5-8.7z.001.rar is really corrupted, I even redownload still corrupted.. I open it with winrar.. unable to extract.. please check.. I already download the rest 59 files seem ok can extract no problem.. please help thanks.. and keep up great work for sharing with us whom can’t afford for this course. Thanks!
Testing archive:
Testing WEEK 5-8.7z.001 OK
Testing the recovery record OK
All OK
My bad, the file was ok. I open that file and extract it thats why it gave corrupted.. this file is the main file.. open this WEEK 5-8.7z.001 simply extract it, don’t need to open inside it…
bro will it be made available for non premium users?
I can’t download the course, can you help me?
Hello, I have registered for a paid MediaFile account, but I am unable to download RAR files. Half of the files automatically show errors and cannot be downloaded. Please provide me with a solution.
try to clear browser cache and download broken files again
I have paid subscription but now I can’t download week 2.7.rar. please give me the solution
Hello, I downloaded everything and extracted it successfully, but when I finished extracting it, I compared and found that the file after extracting did not match the original number of GB of data (about more than 61Gb). Meanwhile, the extracted file is only over 59GB, so is this an error and missing data?
