What I Done

• 2nd Pass Animation
• Plan Post Production
• Set up around 7 shots for with the corresponding render passes and layers
• Once some were rendered I went into Compositing
• Composited 34 Shots In Nuke
• Grading/Colour Correcting
• Blending
• Other Nodes

Individually Manipulated all 34 shots for Compositing

Applying Final Touches and Rendering out in Nuke

Tracking Shots to apply Water

Dealing with Rendering mistakes using the Rotopaint Node

Vector Blur/Defocus and Lightwraps

Colour Correcting and Grading

Dealing with Shadow problems in Nuke

Using the 3D engine in nuke to apply a Sky

Setting up Multipass Compositing Trees

Settings up Render Passes and Layers

It was decided with the help of Rob that the following passes would be used, ambient, specular, shadow, ambient occlusion, normalised 2D motion vector pass and the diffuse pass. These passes would then by used to build a beauty pass for manipulation.

For Render layers, we had to render the environment, each car, shadows and each character. Also In some situations other objects like tyres and barriers were rendered.

Rob Also showed us how to batch render out of maya using the command prompt system which speeds up the rendering process.

2nd Pass Crash Animation

After Rich planned out the crash, I then continued the animation and developed the final look for the crash.

Post Production Schedule

Post Production Schedule

A post production schedule was made to see what the shot contained, the passes which were needed and where the shots would be render. This was made to give us a plan on how to render and composite efficiently.
