Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could direct me to any beginner Nuke books that you have had prior experience with, and know that they're worth the read

Thanks,

Compositing is not specific to a software but the applications and the principles of many things!
So Try to learn the basics first then proceed to more specific software!

Steve Wright is one of the best teachers i ever came across.

Also Rob Brinkman's FXPHD

http://www.amazon.com/Art-Science-Di...275883-5924758

Both the previous books are not specific to a software but are more specific to the Principles and it's implementations!
And both are worth buying as they are already in their 2nd & 3rd Edition's

But specific to Nuke - Nuke 101

I'm aware of that
I'm actually in the middle of "The Art And Science of Digital Compositing", and just looking to learn more about node-based compositing.

Thanks for the links
