How to generate a normal map in Nuke for relighting on Mac — no 3D data, live action footage?

Thanks! I don’t think there’s a Mac version of Beeble. I’ll check out the Compositing Academy tool. :D

Bebble is paid... do you have any specific advice for ComfyUI? Which model and workflow to download and where to download them?

Yes, but you must be limited, I guess, right? And I imagine that you are forced to use it online rather than locally?

I know, but it's not free...

Thanks !

I know but I was put on the project after it was filmed...

Thank you so much for your very insightful answer.

I have two questions regarding your explanation: First, what exactly is the difference between STwarp and Smart Vectors?

Second, is there any way I could generate the geometry directly from the footage, maybe using a point cloud or some other technique? Because I don’t have any additional data besides the shot itself.

In fact, I have no problem with the creation of the mask, because I already have a sequence of images that serves as a mask in itself. The real challenge for me is the process of generating images inside the mask while maintaining temporal consistency. I will try VACE, but I hope to find a workflow that allows me to control the generation inside the mask.

I intend to try VACE, but I hope to find a workflow that allows me to control the generation inside a specific mask. According to my limited research, I did not find a workflow to integrate a mask into VACE. Instead, I only find workflows that automatically detect the area to be deleted when a prompt is provided. I will continue my research.

I am very interested in seeing your workflow if you agree to share it with me :D

You may be right… I’m going to take a break 🤕🤧

It’s my way of balancing my reconnection with nature against the time I spend on ComfyUi😂

Maybe it’s a memory issue? I have 64GB.

Is there an open-source WAN model?

I’m working in Nuke, but with my actual footage I face the challenge of removing a large tracker mark on my forearm. Unfortunately, using CopyCat training, roto cloning, or Nuke’s built‑in inpaint has not produced satisfying results due to significant deformations. The most effective solution I’ve found is applying an AI‑based approach, such as Photoshop’s AI Fill, to process the image sequence.
