The Foundry Announces NUKE 7
Set to be the biggest NUKE release to date, NUKE 7.0 comes with a host of polished and perfected tools to streamline your day-to-day workflow, as well as new additions to complement it’s highly acclaimed feature set.
Learn Deep Compositing with NUKE
Join Motion Media, along with Deke from The Foundry, and get a hands on view of what deep compositing is, how it works in Nuke, and how you might be able to use it.. Deep Compositing allows artists to work with ‘deep images’ containing multiple opacity or colour samples per pixel. This allows rendering of CGI elements without predetermined holdout mattes, avoiding the need for re-renders when content changes.

Inspiration: Philips Carousel & Making of
This video has been floating around online for a couple years now, but I came across it again today and was floored, again. It’s a very cool, highly cinematic video that was paid for by Philips ( the electronics company) for promotional purposes. Also, I did some looking around and found a “making of” video which is equally as interesting.

Weekly Inspiration: Wall Painted Animation
Not much to say about this except that it is amazing and I can’t imagine how much time it took to prepare, animate and shoot this video. Well done and very unique.
