Using Keylight to Pull a Key

The first section of this tutorial demonstrates the basic steps for using the Keylight
node.

To pull the key on the “merlin” image:

1

Add an Image–FileIn node, then browse to $HOME/nreal/Tutorial_Media/Tutorial_05/
images.

2

Read in the merlin_fg.jpg and merlin_bg.jpg images.

Note: To read in both files simultaneously, drag in the File Browser window to select
both files, then click OK.

You are correct: That’s not Merlin.

3

In the Node View, select the merlin_fg node, then add a Key–Keylight node.

4

Connect the merlin_bg node to the second input (the background input) on the
Keylight node.

Keylight has several color controls. In this lesson, the important one is screenColour.
