This video breaks down the process of creating a cinematic CG shot using Blender and Nuke. The focus of this project was to build a visually rich scene with strong lighting, atmospheric depth, and cinematic composition. And most importantly, water interaction of character using dynamic paint effect.

The shot includes water interaction, environment creation, lighting setup, rendering in Blender, and final compositing and look development in Nuke to achieve a film-style result.

This breakdown covers the overall workflow and artistic decisions used to enhance the final shot.

Software used:
• Blender
• Nuke

If you're interested in cinematic CGI, VFX workflows, and Blender scene creation, this video will give you insight into how a single CG shot comes together.
