Description:
In these years, I've been working on a lot of commercials with Nuke, and believe this is a great tool for compositing in commercials. While working, I came up with a lot of idea and put into Nuke. Currently, this autoDot is my favorite tool now because it saves my time to setup and navigate in node-graph when comping big shot.
An efficient workflow in nuke from my experience.
