What you'll learn

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a post-apocalyptic scene using the powerful 3D space and projection techniques in NUKEX. Throughout these lessons, we will go over how to composite elements such as fire and smoke, and make them as real as possible. We will be using the powerful 3D system in NUKE to position these elements properly. We are going to create a whole new environment within our scene. We will then export our camera to Maya and set up our scene and effects. You will learn new techniques in this course, as well as the skills it takes to work faster as a compositor. Note: Due to both licensing restrictions and the advanced nature of Creative Development tutorials, the project files for this tutorial may not contain every single file that was used by the artist. Software required: NUKEX 6.3v2, Maya 2011, V-Ray 2.0.
