Overview of Nuke
This week an overview of Nuke where introduced, the basics of the viewer window, time line including in and out points, the projects settings information’s in the viewer (Bottom), Gama and Gain control de exposure of the image (top viewer). Also, showing the Node Graphs and adding more nodes to the project.
Setting project directory
Each section, the projects will be at the desktop. A folder called Nuke_Overview where downloaded from blackboard to the desktop.
Now with my Nuke 13.0v1 open and before bring any Nuke Comp script, Press S in the Keyboard to set up the project settings. Pressing the `Script Directory` folder in project settings box and search to Nuke_Overview folder saved to the desktop and press open not going in to any of the folders. With the project directory set which is very similar to Maya, to have it all in specific folders, to be a where when to move files around, and then, go to Files, Insert Comp Nodes, navigates to the Nuke_Overview folder saved to the desktop once again, click in the nuke_scripts, and choose the folder, and click open.
To view the image on the viewer window click and press 1 in the keyboard.

Week 1: Rigging Overview - Tentacle
Jason Martine
Overview
This week the lesson was to create a Model (basic tentacle), create a joint Chain, Skin mesh to joints, and add controls to the joints. At the end of the lesson a broad understanding of a basic workflow in how to create rig using Maya Software.
Modeling the tentacle (basic)
1.
2. Select the top Vertex then press B for soft selection, holding down B choose the size of the soft selection using right mouse.
3. then scaling the Z and the X
4.
5. Delete History After finishing the modeling. Edit, Delete by type and click History or Alt+Shift+D .
6. Adding the Skeleton, hold down X to aline with the Grid
7.Bind the skin. Selecting the Root Joint + Shift +selecting the Joint and then Skin, bind skin, reset and apply
7a.
8. Creating NurbsCircle... First Nurb Radius of 3 and then duplicating a second and third Nurbs scaling down the radius of it.
9. With the Translated Move tool control selected, select the Nubs circle to hold down Keyboard V +Meddle Mouse select with a slice movement in the joints snapin the circle up to the place.
10 Modify and freeze transform to zero down the valius in attributes
11. Linking the Rotation of the Nurbs with the rotation of the joints. Clicking in the Nurbs Root then Shift +Root Jt_root following the process like the picture
12. Same process for the Joints but on Orient and not Parenting as the previous Rood Circle. Parenting(translations), Orient(Rotations)
12a.
13. Parenting the controls - meddle to the root
13a. Parenting the controls - Top to the meddle.
13a. Parenting the controls - Top to the meddle.
14. Parenting the controls done.
15. Expression Editor - Copied the SelectedObjectAttribute to the Expression box and then added = sin(time*6)*60;
15a. 15b.
16. Adding a platonic solid to make the tentacle object. SubdivisionMode to Triangles and...
16a. ...subdivisions 2 and Radious 3.000.
17. Tentacle Mash objects fixing when is off.
17a. Tentacle Mash objects fixing when is off - Selecting Tentacle and then Group it (Ctrl+G). Go to Mash And click CreateMash Network.
17b. Tentacle Mash objects fixed.
18. Turning off the CachPlayBack, allows the Mash to work properly. 15b.
19.
20. Attaching the Tentacles Mash to the surface of the sphere. MASH connecting dragging with the meddle mouse to the ImputMesh
21. Created a Camera on the Grid.
22. In Panels, perspective Camera1 view set.
23. In Arnoud, Light, Skydome Light added
24. In AttribuiteEditor-aiSkyDomeLightShap1-SkyDomeLight Attributes- Exposure set to (-4000) and Samples to (2).24. in AttribuiteEditor-aiSkyDomeLightShap1-SkyDomeLight Attributes- Exposure set to (-4000) and Samples to (2)
25. Render Settings-Presets.- Import render Settings then click Default Settings
25a. In render Settings also checked the Tab Arnold Render and then just close the Render Settings box.
26. Opened the ArnoldRenderView, on the tab View, TestResolution was set to 50%.
26a.
27. SpotLight Added, in Panels
27a.
27b. Turned the scene around and Changed the Cone Angle to cover the entire scene.
27c. Also added valiuns to the Penumbra Angle and Dropoff.
27d. Just below of the last step in Arnoud it was added 15.000 to exposure and Samples (2)
27e. Selected back to camera viewing Panels and then it was added more value in the exposure of the SpotLightShape1 at the Attributes Editor
28. Mash selected, in Attribute Editor-Mash2_ReproMeshShape-Arnold-Subdivision it was changed Type to Catclark and Interaction to (3)
29. AssignNewMaterial-Arnold-aiStandartSurface.
30. In Subsurface it was added (0.961) to Weight, type changed to RandomWalk.
