Cleanplate Projections | Nuke Compositing Guide

In this tutorial, we cover how to use Nuke Camera projections alongside various 3d Methods (such as lidar to build 3d) to remove objects from scenes (a process referred to as Cleanplating).  This is a very common workflow and is necessary in many visual effects shots - although this work is never perceived by the viewers.

In advanced cleanplates you can mix 3d and 2d methods - whatever works to remove the object - and often times you need to mix different methods for different parts of the video.
