This week we are looking at Nuke. Nuke is made up of ‘Nodes’ and ‘Layers’ something that I have seen before in programs such as Photoshop and After Effects. It is used for digital compositing and visual effects. Working with Nodes was a somewhat new concept as I have only used layers before.
After a short while I was able to create the image below using various tools such as Merge and Transform (as can be seen in the Nodes above). We ‘Merged’ the Checkerboard and ColourWheel, and then used the ‘Transform’, ‘Glow’ and ‘Blur’ Nodes to edit the image. I now have a good understanding of these tools and have used them with other images to practise.
