Scratch to Nuke

theflow — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 13:40:49 +0000

Demonstration of a SCRATCH to Nuke workflow.

SCRATCH2Nuke is a set of Python based scripts that exhibit the extensibility of SCRATCH through the use of XML. SCRATCH2Nuke (S2N) was developed using Python 2.5 & 2.6, and thus is required in order to use this functionality.

S2N allows you to create a bridge to pass both MetaData and images originating in SCRATCH to Nuke (By The Foundry) and back to Scratch via XML and the Global Watch Folder. Please refresh yourself with Appendix C in the SCRATCH manual before continuing with S2N.

S2N is an open and freely customizable set of scripts available AS-IS. This allows users to adapt the script to your specific workflow, as well and develop your own pipelines based on this example.

Warp Projection – 3D Environments from a 2D Image

theflow — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:26:49 +0000

From Red Giant TV Episode 65:
In this multidimensional episode of Red Giant TV, designer I’ll walk you through creating a 3D environment from a 2D image, all in After Effects. This won’t be using traditional camera projection techniques – nor will it use vanishing point in photoshop. Instead, I figured out a technique for warping images to build 3D layers. You’ll also learn some great compositing and color correction techniques to finish the job off right.
