this video is brought to you by Skillshare we're gonna talk about nuke after a fans and plunder to see what each of them can offer when it comes to VFX and post-production work in different fields like the effects for film motion graphics and commercials social media content and more the effects for film and TV shows nuke is one of the favorite tools for VFX studios when it comes to working on complex VFX shots especially for big budget projects because it has good tools for compositing 3d tracking model building and much more it is fast and flexible and it works using a node-based workflow which is a much more convenient way to work in large compositions than using layers because sometimes having too many layers in software such as after a fence is very difficult to work with properly and it is easy to lose track of the big picture in nuke you can test zoom in and out and see directly a web of nose that makes a lot of sense using After Effects irresponsible to build accurate keys and masks use rotoscoping to separate programs and backgrounds perform motion and camera tracking and 3d elements to seem and it has a bigger community and many more commercial plugins than any other software used for this type of work for feature film and TV shows After Effects is really good for motion graphics and basic compositions such as cleanups and it is especially being used in combination with cinema 4d to create the highest quality motion graphics in movies such as Ironman Blade Runner 20 49 Cordina of the galaxy and much more for heavy lifting VFX work it would be hard to work using After Effects and achieve very believable CG composition where you have a ton of different cameras both match moved and animated but nuke handles big scenes and compositions with complicated setup very well with decent speed and good organization blender is also software that has the ability to do 3d motion tracking and Composition work and even though it is not popular yet in VFX studios it has contributed to making many films and TV shows but not necessarily for 3d motion tracking or composition because blender is a 3d package that can do a lot of things other than post-production work so far as we all know it has been used by barnstone VFX to used to work on TV shows such as the man in the high castle and also the movie Henri which was charged from the first-person perspective as if you were watching gameplay and many other projects as well but we will probably talk about in other videos there is also a very talented wonder artist known as Ian Hubert who contributed and directed a live-action CGI short film for the bunder Institute called tears of steel in 2012 and he is still working on other inspiring projects as well motion graphics and commercials both longer and nuke into motion graphics work regardless of the fact that they are totally different programs but After Effects is the most commonly used for this type of work because it is easy to use and equipped with all the necessary tools and plugins it is very popular in this field because it has been the weapon of choice for many motion graphics artists for a very long period of time generally speaking it can be used to create motion graphics that combine to the 3d and other elements from Adobe products such as illustrator and lots of building effects After Effects can also be used in integration with 3d packages such as cinema 4d or blender to create even higher quality commercials and motion graphics nuke on the other hand is used by many studios to work on commercials that include these types of effects but if you want to use blender from start to finish it is also possible because it has the advantage of being a complete 3d package that can do many things for modeling animation dynamics etc which is necessary if projects include 3d stuff blender is also know based which means it is not going to be necessarily as straightforward as aftereffect is but with the help of panels and specialized shaders and offense you'll be able to create a workflow that will suit your needs social media content social media content creators also need to use this type of software and the overwhelming majority use After Effects because as we said it is simple to use and has pre-made templates that you can pay for or use for free in addition to attract load of plugins that can do different types of things the most obvious form of social media content that After Effects is being used for is YouTube videos too intros outros at lower thirds motion graphics animations and so on for example this video was made in part using After Effects in addition to that After Effects is fantastic with other Adobe products such as premiere big-budget or indie projects all these software are being used on big-budget and indie projects as well as personal work but generally speaking nuke is more appealing in an environment where there are a lot of people working together in big projects but it is also being used by Studios that has less than 10 people because it is the best for composition work new kasih free version but it is limited in many different aspects but you can use it for learning nonetheless on the other hand both blunder and After Effects are being used by studios but they are more popular among individual users to work on freelance projects provide services for studios or just for their personal use so if you want good song for for personal work or freelance work or even for small teams I suggest working with both winter and After Effects because they are budget friendly and can achieve great results if you are interested in learning more about under new core After Effects I recommend you check out Skillshare Skillshare is a learning platform that has thousands of courses on a variety of different topics and I personally use it because I am interested in a lot of things like computer graphics productivity business psychology and more for example they have a lot of courses about blender and I recommend first checking blender 3d your first with the character course which will help you get a solid grip over the basics before moving to complex courses also there is a nice beginner's guide to after offense if you want to get started in addition to another course by the same instructor about 3d camera tracking and after event in which you will learn how to shoot your own footage and use the 3d camera tracker in depth and much more and the good thing is it is very affordable because you just need to pay less than $10 a month to get access to these courses the first 1,000 people who will sign up to our link will get two months of premium membership for free links in the description the learning curve among these software probably after-effects is the easiest to learn and in a shorter period of time because it is simpler in addition to the fact that a lot of people have used Photoshop or illustrator at some point in their lives which means they are already familiar with the way it operates because they are all made by the same company if you can devote a good chunk of your working hours to learn After Effects you could definitely learn it and become efficient using it in just few months depending on your experience and the time you invest in the learning process and of course if you can focus on important motion design concepts like workflows design organization color etc and other stuff that you will probably not use and like anything else you want to learn the learning process is something continuous that you need to keep doing over time Nuuk is not as straightforward as After Effects is but after you spend enough time using it and learn its ins and out it will become easier and better especially when things get complicated and when you get used to the node baseboard flow you will probably not go back to using After Effects unless it is gonna be something simple and quick on the other hand blender is also node based and it will take some time to get used to but like other node based compositing software it will give you more freedom and flexibility to do more complex and advanced stuff without being bottlenecked pricing and licensing blender is actually an open source and free to use 3d package even for commercial purposes that's why it is very popular and used by many artists and studios because it gives them fantastic tools to work on their projects without having to be concerned too much about software expenses After Effects is not free but it is not expensive either because it is around 20 bucks a month if you decide to pay annually or 31 dollars if you want to pay on a monthly basis on the other hand nuke has commercial versions and a free non-commercial version and as we said before the free version has its limitation for example some of the limitations include first of all not having the ability to work on commercial projects the output resolution is limited to 1080p there is no support for third party plugins and only plugins that ship with new core supported data storage is encrypted meaning that you cannot open new non-commercial files in the commercial version and Python scripting is limited if you want to pay for the commercial version it is gonna be very expensive and if you are not making serious money right now you will probably not be able to afford it there is the standard nuke version which can go a long way but there is also nuke X which is the advanced version that has more advanced tools and features with double the price of nuke standard and lastly no studio that has editing features in it so you wouldn't need external editing software final thoughts the summit on lap in few words the biggest advantage nuke and blender have over After Effects is the control flexibility and freedom After Effects is fantastic and very efficient for commercials youtube videos and fast cleanups nuke is the most suitable software for feature film high end TV shows and high end commercials that need complex or advanced composition work and almost anything you can do in After Effects can be replicated in blender but After Effects has easier and straightforward ways of getting things done but there are motion tracking and Composition tasks this will be better done using blender the advantage that the bumper has over nuke and After Effects is the price and the fact that it is a software that can do everything from 3d modeling animation effects to composition so we don't have to be constantly using different software to do different tasks in addition to its rapid pace of growth and development so you can't really expect how good it will be a few years from now I hope you found this video useful and informative if you have something to add you can leave it in the comment section below also you can check some of our previous videos thank you very much and I will see you in the next one
