Shot A13: Early Composites

I pulled a quick chroma key with Nuke's IBK Keyer and created a garbage matte for the background that tracks to follow the alley wall. The wall geometry that was created during the matchmove now exists as a 3D card in Nuke with a texture file of clean brick applied to it. Being able to color correct and edit the wall patch on the fly is much better than re-rendering out image sequences from Maya every time I need to change something.





Starting to incorporate the background matte painting and some basic rotoscoping of Melton.




Here is another screengrab of the compositing environment in Nuke
