In this second Part of the Label Insert Tutorial, Product Specialist Christoph Zapletal will show you how to prep your shot for Compositing and bring it over into Nuke's New USD-based 3D Environment.
Along the way you'll learn how to proof your matchmove for all the changes and challenges commercial productions might throw at you.
These will include securing your scene with Lock Points, establishing Proxy Geometry with Real World Scaling and setting up the Nuke Exporter correctly to jive with the new USD-based System inside of Nuke.
To round things off, you'll learn how some basic math will really help you in correctly positioning and distorting the label on your product shot.
