FXPHD NUK234 IMMERSIVE VR COMPOSITING IN NUKE
In this course you will learn about the exciting world of Immersive Entertainment. From LBE (Location Based Entertainment) venues to the emerging world of VR we will employ a combination of complex view dependent techniques to create imagery that is meant to be projected on a flat surface but look three dimensional and have parallax from the point of view of the observer. These techniques are used for multimedia rides at theme parks, building projections, and VR technologies.
This course will be NUKE centric but will also jump into other software such as Maya, Modo, and Mari. We will learn about the design and fundamentals of this exciting technique. Then we will design the path for our experience and previz the shot. Setup stereo cameras and render layers. Composite the shot together using NUKE and diving into its use of 3D projections. Then we will be taking the final shot and creating a mock up of the experience by compositing it in lat long space and creating a 360 degree video that can be viewed on GearVR, Google cardboard or the Oculus Rift platform.
