Understanding and Compositing Deep Images in NUKE
Throughout these tutorials, we'll begin to understand how deep samples work in the new EXR 2. Software required: Nuke 7, Maya 2014, Arnold 1, Maxwell 3.
What you'll learn
Throughout these tutorials, we'll begin to understand how deep samples work in the new EXR 2.0 and how we can use it to our advantage when compositing CG renders. We'll analyze how deep images differ from our traditional single sample pixel RGBA renders. You will also learn how this will make your compositing of CG renders easier with better results. Software required: Nuke 7, Maya 2014, Arnold 1, Maxwell 3.
