IterationStation | Subframe Workflow Tool
A while back I put together a template for making iterative tools using subframes which you can see here.
Procedural Ring Flares | Experiments with Blinkscript
Procedural lens flares often feel like chasing your own tail. Using a blink-driven reverse convolve a procedural ring flare can be produced. Passing…
Contrast Demystified | Compositing Theory Tutorial
Contrast operations are something I find a little bit deceptive and to be used sparingly. In this tutorial I go over the concepts/operations that go…
Artistically Driven Keying & Despill | Experiments with Blinkscript
After playing around with ReverseSTMap I realised that there's a world of uses for this function beyond transformations. By combining this tool with…
Experiments with Blinkscript | Reverse STMap
STMaps can be a great way to bake-down complex transformations into a single process. However this process is fairly destructive and is generally a…
Bespoke Detail Enhancement | CopyCat Tutorial
Copycat is an amazing yet initially overwhelming tool that's relatively new to Nuke's arsenal. This tutorial goes over adding detail to a soft image…
MedianMerge Midjourney | MedianMerge Tutorial
Midjourney is an amazing tool but it can struggle when dealing with faces. Using MedianMerge and a lot of generated images you can combine them with…
MedianMerge | A Blinkscript Powered Merge Tool
MedianMerge is a Blinkscript powered tool that allows you to merge multiple inputs together and keep the median of them all. This has a wide variety…
Experiments with Blinkscript | Complex Motionblur
I've often found that CG-perfect motionblur lacks a lot of the complexity that we love to see in the wild. I decided that would be a great experiment…
SPRING 2022 | COMPOSITING REEL
After going quite a while with very few of the projects I'd worked on being released, it was finally time to update my reel with all of the exciting…
ChromaticGuidedBlur | Experiments with ChromAb
ChromaticGuidedBlur is a tool that takes a single rough matte and an image to produce a 3 channel RGB ChromaticAlpha.
Making Iterative Tools with Timeblur!
iBlur is one of my favourite tools due to its iterative nature. Creating an interative tool like that in Nuke can be quite difficult without…
Nuke Experiments | Bidirectional GodRays
GodRays is one of my favourite toys Nuke has to offer and sometimes I end up doubling up the effect in various counter-transform operations.
LightReWrapper | Unwrapping LightWrapping!
LightReWrapper came into to being after I decided to tool-ify a workflow I've been playing around with for a while. Procedurally removing and…
TrueExponentialBlur & Light Theory
TrueExponentialBlur is a gizmo that hopefully simplifies the task of exponential blurs/glows to a single, physically accurate, operation.
Experiments with Blinkscript | Conway's Game of Life
John Conway's Game of Life is a really great example of making something potentially uninteresting suddenly quite engaging. Which got me wondering…
Experiments with Blinkscript | RadialDilate
RadialDilate is a solution to the fact that Nuke's Dilate node is limited to only a box filter. RadialDilate allows for much more organic image and…
Monochrome Tutorial: Combining Channels, Theory and Practical Applications
Monochrome workflows have a special place in my heart. They've saved me from some really tough element-removal work. From markers, reflections…
Foundry Skill Up: An Artist's Guide to Blinkscript
Feel free to get in contact if you have any further questions, or just fancy chatting about nodes.
Experiments with Blinkscript | SurfaceBlur
SurfaceBlur is a Blinkscript driven tool that allows you to blur an object with respect to the angle of its surface. I can see this having all kinds…
GodRaysProjector | Shadows! and a total rebuild
I decided to completely rebuild GodRaysProjector and clean up a lot of the bugs and quirks. This also gave me a chance to make the code…
Experiments with Blinkscript | ContourBlur
ContourBlur is a Blinkscript-driven gizmo that allows you to blur an image based on a set of vectors. This is especially useful for blurring…
Experiments with Blinkscript | Removing Chromatic Aberration
Having added some new features to ChromaticBlink I was interested to see how it handles removing chromatic aberration. I think the results are fairly…
Experiments with BlinkScript | FloodBucket
I set myself the task of making a flood-fill tool using BlinkScript. It was a fun little project to learn more about pixel processes with Blink.
GodRaysProjector
GodRaysProjector is a 3D alternative to the generally 2D Godrays node. By connecting a renderCamera, projectionCamera and an image to project. Thanks…
BlinkPositionProject
After playing around a bit more with Blink, I decided to tackle position projection and specifically per-pixel motionblur. The results are pretty…
Decimal TimeOffset | Subframes Revisited
Following on from my previous post about TimeBlur, I decided to delve deeper and put together a gizmo that allows you to access a single sub-frames.
TimeBlur Tutorial | Subframes and Demos
My appreciation for the TimeBlur node is enormous, and I hope this explanation helps others learn to appreciate TimeBlur too. You can download the…
