What you'll learn
Throughout these lessons, we will take a comprehensive look at how you can efficiently use AOVs and Renderpasses to create believable composites. We will start with a general overview of the most commonly used AOVs and Renderpasses and get a thorough understanding of what they are and how they work. We will then quickly dive into more advanced techniques by putting a big focus on troubleshooting and problem solving. Eventually, we will apply the techniques we learned on a small exercise to integrate an old and rusty CG car into a filmed plate. Software required: NUKE 9.0v7.
