- Richard Frazer on Colour Smear for Nuke (UPDATE v2.0):
Hi Josh. Thanks for the feedback. You have correctly discovered that this tool works best when you have a solid core for a matte with a feathered edge. Where it fails is if you have large areas that just have semi transparent alpha (such as your grimy window). I’d approach this by separating your actor with a rough roto and using the colour smear to deal with their edges. Then for the smudges maybe try extracting the green channel and using using it to drive a grade for your background, or... - Josh Northeast on Colour Smear for Nuke (UPDATE v2.0):
Hey Richard! Absolutely love the tool. Saved my ass alot. I’m working with some greenscreen plates where there is a smudgy window behind the actor and a greenscreen behind that. We need to preserve the smudges on the window but that means it’s hard to use your tool to treat the edges because the alpha isn’t clean. Any tips?

Just finished watching the film, which had no plot whatsoever but had fabulous underwater shark and diving scenes! Thanks for this “behind-the-scenes” look at your part in it! - Usman on Fractal Blur For Nuke (updated 28/01/2015):

Foundry Session interview
April 17, 2016
I was recently invited to talk at The Foundry about breaking into the VFX industry.
I was joined by my BlueBolt colleagues Sebastian Hesselsjo & Daniel Gardiner and we chatted with Nicki Morris, Juan Salazar and Becks O’Byrne about how graduates can find their first VFX jobs and what they should expect from those roles.
The talk was broadcast live as “The Foundry Session 15 – Looking to break into VFX?” and afterwards we answered questions sent in by viewers.
Despite my slightly nervous rambling, I’m hoping it was a useful resource for up and coming artists out there.
