Who it is for
Beginning compositors who understand basic node navigation and want to learn why a CG element does or does not fit a plate. The experiments work in a modern browser without running Nuke; the real-shot assignments need your own Nuke installation and source material.
Know before you buy
This is an interactive mini-book with simplified teaching illustrations, not a complete Nuke course or a production footage pack. Real footage, CG render assets, a validated .nk project, software licences, instructor feedback and certification are not included. Interface details and available features can vary by Nuke version. It is independent educational material, not a Foundry product.
