Brush Light Effect Gizmo in Nuke

This is a gizmo I developped during my last year at MoPA for my thesis film.

We wanted to break the 3D aspect of the lighting and make it feel alive, it gives the light of the voice character its signature style. 

This gizmo enabled us to quickly give our light a brush-like effect, while keeping in consistent accross all shots of the film ! It also uses part of Sydney Andjel’s triplanar node for its effect. You can also plug in different textures for different results, control the strength of the brush and animate it by animating the texture you plug into it.
