Assignment #1

This is the first homework assignment I have completed for Visual FX.

The assignment was to change the season in the picture to resemble an entirely different time of year. The alterations were done using NukeX, a compositing program that uses color correction and layering techniques to create various visual effects. I chose to take a picture of the Scottish Highlands and turn it into a snowy winter scene. The results are as follows:

The Scottish Highlands on a typical overcast summer day.

This affect was accomplished using both HueCorrect and ColorCorrect NURBs in NukeX. I rendered the finished image as a jpg. Here is a cold looking scene:

The Scottish Highlands in the dead of winter.

So far, we have only learned the basics of 2D compositing. I am looking forward to learning more about compositing, especially in 3D.

Please keep posted for more work and updates.
More coming soon!
