This week’s Nuke was mostly about learning Roto and tracking.

First we start by intercepting the head of the figure using roto. This will give us a separate Alpha layer

We then track the surrounding columns in turn via the tracker node. In this way each pillar has its own corresponding Alpha layer. This also lays the groundwork for the replacement later on

After that I traced the whole person’s arms as well as the legs. Through this lesson I became familiar with the use of Nuke’s roto and tracker nodes. All in all it was a very productive session!
