nuke training

Simply put, Nuke is the de facto industry standard for compositing visual effects. It has been adopted by the power-hitters of the industry - ILM, Weta Digtial, D-Neg, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Animal Logic and virtually every major visual effects studio in the world. If you don’t know Nuke it is now difficult to get a compositing job in visual effects. Nuke’s popularity is due to its awesome speed and productivity, feature film image quality, extensibility, integrated 3D compositing and stereo workflows, and an incredibly robust and complete tool set.

Steve is a Foundry Certified Nuke® Trainer and has to date trained over 1000 Nuke artists in workshops and studios around the world and regularly produces Nuke tutorials that can be found on lynda.com (free 10-day tiral) and The Foundry’s own website.
