The November issue of Renderout magazine has just come out, in which I wrote an article about how to get organized by working with Nuke and avoid some problems compositing in visual effects. You can read the article and the rest of the magazine at the following link (in spanish):
About tracking markers in green backgrounds (and Animal Crossing)
A few days ago, while playing Nintendo Switch’s Animal Crossing, I made a joke on Twitter that I had been able to create a VFX shooting studio inside the game with its green chromakey background and tracking markers. From there came a debate about why those backgrounds are used in movies and the possible complications they could have. I will …
Nuke tool: ekaGradient
Throughout this time I have used some techniques that I have repeated in my compositions.

More with less: The Great Big Ball Of Fire
Sometimes I tell to my students how important it is when in a composition we are trying to make an effect: Maybe we will find some powerful plugins to save the day.
