Compositing Stereoscopic Images in NUKE

What you'll learn

In this series of lessons we'll learn how to work with 3D Stereoscopic image pairs in NUKE. Using NUKE's various stereo workflows and tools, we'll be able to do our compositing work on stereo images quickly and efficiently. We'll begin this project by learning how to set up our project for stereo work and the basic stereo workflows. We'll then learn about the stereo features built into the Read and Write nodes which make is easier to work with stereo image pairs. We'll then learn how to edit our stereo images in NUKE and how to edit only part of the stereo pair. Finally, we'll go through an entire practical application of using the RotoPaint tools to fix our stereo images. During this we'll learn how and when we can re-use data from the left to the right side, and how to actually apply this in NUKE. We'll finish by learning how to use the ReConverge tool to change our screen depth. Software required: NUKE 6.0 and up for project files.
