There was a time when only smokes and mirrors were used in the name of VFX, but since the invention of digital compositing, things have come a long way. Now, what exactly is digital compositing? In layman\u2019s terms, it is simply a process of integrating multiple pictures or live-action footage into a single screen, mainly for creating an illusion that everything is happening at the same time.<\/p>\n

Do you remember being awed by\u00a0Deadpool<\/em>? Or being heartbroken by the\u00a0titanic?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Then, you have already witnessed the magic of Visual Effects.<\/p>\n

After digital compositing came \u2013 NUKE, which took things to a whole different level!<\/p>\n

Foundry\u2019s NUKE, short for, the new compositor is a node-based VFX film pipeline that assembles all of the renders\/elements\/plates\/image sequences into a sort of photoshop for moving images. It does not just help in compositing but also in editing and reviewing.<\/p>\n

It is the best software out there in the market and everyone, I repeat, everyone from big-budget movies to indie films to even advertisements are using it.<\/p>\n

Oh, and both\u00a0Titanic\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Deadpool\u00a0<\/em>used Nuke for its amazing VFX. Interesting isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

WHY NUKE?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now you must be thinking about why it is the best software and why everyone is so crazy about it? To understand, it is imperative to first understand why to use VFX at all. The reason is simple, VFX is the only solution to show things on screen which cannot otherwise be captured in real-time. There are certain situations like flying, paranormal objects or people, elements like dragons, etc which are impossible to shoot and this when VFX comes into play.<\/p>\n

Again, digital compositing is a part of VFX which is required when we need to alter the image, video or audio as per our need. It helps to add or remove certain elements from the picture because it is not always that we get the exact picture as desired \u2013 sometimes there is a problem in the background, sometimes in the weather, etc. or to put it simply, it helps in creating highly effective audio-video pictures.<\/p>\n

Nuke, on the other hand, is a node software that helps in both visual effects aka VFX and digital compositing.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s have a closer look at some of the features of the nuke to best understand its hype \u2013<\/p>\n
