My goodness, Victor is really a fountain of knowledge. His method of teaching always applies across platforms.

Victor, Luca & Adam, thanks for bringing this out of the woodworks.
Foundrys integration of AI into Nuke is a class act and serves as a template for the rest of the vfx industry.
Cheers

Victor mentioned the script for the face marker removal being made available. Is there a link for that?

Thanks for this. Keep'm coming. I learned a lot. I especially appreciated the idea of creating the input vs the ground truth.

Also have to think about onset dressing and art department. A little grey white sand to match the paving grout sprinkled on drain edges. Some white straw or grass and leaves or other debris to cover drains at side. I know that a big shot with all the extras, camera move and changing light can mean just shoot.

Of course that’s the logical approach, it would had been efficient and easy to fix… but the location had restrictions to allow the art department to place anything on the floor, they simply allow anything that could stink the floor. But that’s the right spirit! ❤️
