Tutorial 9

Creating Clean Plates

253

There are many ways to accomplish this. You might immediately think “Clone brush” in
QuickPaint, and you are in fact partly correct. You can create a clean plate by cloning
image information, but you’ll also use the Reveal brush to layer an image from another
frame over the frame you want to clean.

To load the tutorial images:

1

Start from a new Shake script, then insert an Image–FileIn node.

2

In the File Browser, navigate to the $HOME/nreal/Tutorial_Media/Tutorial_09/images/
paintfix
directory.

As before, you will see the two images listed as one sequence, bridge.1,38#.jpg.

3

Deselect the Sequence Listing option.

4

Select bridge.001.jpg and bridge.038.jpg from the file list, then click OK.

The two images are read into the script.

Rename the nodes for purposes of clarity in this tutorial.

5

Double-click the node that reads in the bridge.0001.jpg image, and rename it bridge001.

6

Double-click the node that reads in the bridge.0038.jpg image, and rename it bridge038.
