What you'll learn

In this NUKE tutorial, we will learn how to build custom tools in NUKE called "gizmos." Throughout these lessons we will walk through the creation of several custom tools in NUKE complete with interfaces, logical links and automatic throughput piping. Compositing workflows are all about efficiency, getting the best result with the fewest nodes and the most flexibility. With gizmos, NUKE compositors have the ability to combine common tasks by compressing otherwise complex node graphs and sharing workflows with colleagues. This course is an advanced look at several production-ready gizmos from start to finish. Software required: NUKE 6.
