Event Details
Nuke Intensive Workshop
Maybe you have done some video tutorials or taken an online workshop or two to learn Nuke on your own but you still find Nuke’s behavior mystifying in many situations. Perhaps you are unsure how to combine multiple keys for a bluescreen shot or can’t make sense of the shaders in Nuke’s 3D world. Or maybe you have just decided to learn Nuke and are looking for the ideal jump start. This workshop is made for you.
Join Steve Wright, a 20 year veteran of vfx compositing and master trainer for an utterly unique two day Nuke workshop specifically designed to give you the core knowledge of Nuke you need so that you can build on it yourself. These are the insights and understandings that most artists don’t get until they have worked with Nuke for years. Without a firm grounding in the these key concepts it becomes very difficult to add to your Nuke knowledge on your own.

If you have already used your 15 day free trial license then tech support at RFX will fix you up with a temporary license on site.
