#147 - Want to learn to composite in Nuke?

When it comes to post-production software, Nuke definitely strikes me as one of the 'big-kid' toys.

AFAIK it's the go-to compositing tool for high-end visual effects work and has been a staple of the VFX industry for the past 25 years.

A permanent license with a 1 year maintenance plan for Nuke costs nearly £4,000, while the complete NukeStudio will set you back more than double that.

Yet, you can have it all for free.

With Nuke Non-commercial, you get access to free, non-watermarked versions of Nuke, NukeX and even top-of-the-line Nuke Studio for as long as you like, so you can learn, explore and have fun on your own schedule.
