Free Nuke CopyCat Guide

This guide is designed to help compositors harness the full potential of Nuke’s CopyCat tool—Foundry’s integrated machine learning solution. Whether you're training models for rotoscoping, cleanup, or look development, the goal is to make your CopyCat workflows faster, more reliable, and production-ready. You’ll find practical advice on data preparation, training strategies, and script organisation to ensure your models are not only accurate but scalable across shots and sequences.

Machine learning in VFX is no longer experimental—it’s becoming essential. By following the best practices outlined here, you’ll reduce training time, avoid common pitfalls, and get the most out of your GPU resources. Most importantly, you'll learn how to build models that genuinely assist your team in delivering high-quality results, faster.

But this is just the beginning. If you’re serious about mastering AI-driven compositing techniques, our professional-level Nuke CopyCat course will take you there. Learn how to approach real-world tasks, build your own model presets, and integrate machine learning into your daily comp work like a pro.
