One of my compositing projects while getting to know Nuke at 3DSense Media School. I used a static background plate (a nice image by Mikko Lagerstedt), refined the animation for some stock spaceships, added background, rain elements and integrated footage of myself (greenscreen keyed & rotoscoped).
Ships - animated in Maya, rendered in Renderman
Background - Paint effect trees with keyed forces, iDistort on edges of background trees for leaf movement
Effects - ship beams, puddles, rain & splashes from Maya, puddle layers used in conjunction with Nuke's iDistort
Comments & suggestions for imrovement are welcome!
