DUCK v1.0

During my experience in different vfx studios I had the opportunity to develop a series of gizmo for Nuke that I release as DUCK_v1.0

DUCK is a collection of gizmos designed to help artists. Here you can find: advanced Alpha Edge, Green or Blue Killer for spill suppression,Object id keyer, advanced Luma Keyer, Smart Blur, Denoise, Skin Cleaner, Heat Vision simulation and a Night Vision (infrared) simulation.

DUCK_V1.0 TECHNICAL SHEETS

duck_Alpha_Edge
It gives edge of a roto or a key, you have the possibility to dilate or erode , blur or multiply the edge differently inside and outside. Simply the best alpha edge you can find for free.

duck_Green_Killer
Green spill suppression, you have a restore luminance and red contribution channel option. In the advanced tab you can find options for edge color correction and edge visualization.

duck_Blue_Killer
Blue spill suppression, you have a restore luminance and red contribution channel option. In the advanced tab you can find options for edge color correction and edge visualization.

duck_Object_ID
Useful to extract an id matte from  an rgb id pass. It allows to have : red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta, black and white computed alpha.  There is an option that allows you to blur the matte before or after computing and multiply to increment the values.

duck_Luma_Keyer
Based on the Frank Reuter macro it uses curves to create efficent luma key  working on different color space as HSV, HSL, LAB, YPbPn. Pre key and post key blur, alpha multiply, Invert alpha and premultiply options.

duck_Smart_Blur
Smart Blur isn’t a common blur, it helps to blur images with heavy grain, surface imperfections, noises, render problems, etc. keeping the boundary and the edges, and restoring details in highlights and dark regions of the image.

duck_Denoise
It hepls to denoise a footage, since it is  not based on analisys: it just provides a  denoise for blak/white and coloured dots. It doesn’t make a recostruction of the denoised pixels but it helps to fix visually the problem.

duck_Skin_Cleaner
A tool delevopped to clean up model’s skin in common beauty/fashion shots.

duck_Night_Vision
It simulates an infrared night vision effect. You have the option to manage the green multiplier , vignette, grain and glow. To work properly you must set the project settings format  as the footage you want to give a night vision of.

duck_Heat_Vision
It provides a heat vision effect using filters on different color spaces (RGB, YpBpR, HSV). There are options to increase the multiply, glow intesity, dilate effects and blur.
