This course is mainly aimed at you if you are a VFX artist working with Nuke, with any level of experience, and you would like to learn the basics of the language from scratch, applied to what you need and wasting as little time as possible in order to start using it quickly. All updated to the current industry standards and what will be useful for your daily work.
In the first part we will see an introduction to Python at a very general level, exploring the possibilities it offers. After that, we will quickly start doing exercises in which we progressively introduce more and more of the integration with the power of Nuke.
The course is structured around short lessons, so that you can learn in your free time (on your cell phone, during your commute to work, etc.).
All modules include interactive quizzes, so that you can directly consolidate new concepts and advance your learning in a much more solid way.
After learning new concepts and testing them with a quiz, it will be the turn for a PDF exercise, with which you can really get down to work and practicing with the language.
Once you have given it a go, you can move on to the next lesson to watch me solve it.
VFX Studios have integrated this course in their training regimen, ensuring their artists are well-versed in Python’s applications within Nuke. Entropy is one shining example.
If you’re a studio thinking about enhancing your team’s Python skills, I’d love to chat about how we can collaborate.
Academic institutions play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the industry. To support this, I am offering special discounted prices for schools and universities, allowing the students to access this course at a reduced rate.
A flagship example for this collaboration is U-Tad.
If you represent a studio or an academic institution and are interested in a potential collaboration, I’d like to hear from you. Together we can help equip more artists and students with a technical foundation in scripting for VFX.
For partnership inquiries and more details, please contact me directly.

I have followed Adrián Pueyo’s work since my student days, and when I saw his Python for Nuke course, I bought it immediately despite my fear of programming. The knowledge I gained has allowed me to improve my gizmos, create Nuke commands, develop 100% Python tools that run with a single button, and even experiment with “Python Panels” in my last job at Jellyfish Pictures Ltd.
I’m very happy and grateful for this course. I recommend it to any artist who wants to overcome their fear of programming or improve the technical side of digital compositing.

I recently completed Python for Nuke, and it was incredibly beneficial. The course greatly advanced my skills, providing a solid foundation and practical knowledge that I can apply directly to my work. One of the highlights was its ease of following and digesting: the content was well-structured and presented in a clear and concise manner, making even the more complex topics approachable. I particularly appreciated how each topic was covered in a separate video. This format made it incredibly easy to review specific topics whenever needed, enhancing my learning experience. I am very happy with the course, and I look forward to any new courses that might be offered in the future. This was an excellent investment in my professional development, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their Python skills in Nuke.

What a great course by Adrián Pueyo. It gives the artist useful techniques utilising Python, that can make big difference in your daily work schedule. The course comes with an intuitive platform that makes it very dinamic and practical. Personally, for some time I have to wanted to learn python, but whenever I gave it a try I just didn’t find it that easy. Now, having attended the course, I can tell that I have built a strong basis on which to keep growing my skills.

An amazing course. It has far exceeded my expectations. Adrián is a fantastic teacher and has created a top Nuke course. Thank you very much!
Federico Sibella
Game-changer. Having tried several courses, I can confidently say that nothing compares to what Adrian has put together. Within weeks, I was writing Python code to automate repetitive tasks in Nuke, thanks to Adrian’s patient and comprehensive teaching. The slow-paced approach, starting with programming fundamentals before moving to Nuke-specific topics, made it easy to follow and build a strong foundation. Homework and tests were invaluable for solidifying concepts. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their Nuke skills through Python, especially for those who have always been apprehensive about programming.
Sriram Seshan
To say this was a really interesting course. I was pretty excited to learn python, I learnt a lot (no programming background) from scratch and also had hard times especially with Ninja Level tasks and typing the quizzes (wish I could have got the filled-up answers as a script after doing those) had to make my own note of everything. Overall, It was great learning. Really can’t help me enough by learning these exclusive content from one amazing person!
Joaquin Garcia Mateos
A simple, practical and entertaining way to learn a programming language that makes it easy to learn nuke and tool creation. I highly recommend it 100% if you want to dive into the basics of Python. Thanks Adrian!

Lionel Estivill
A really nice walkthrough to start understanding Python and develop yourself in it. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn, have fun, and acquire a really useful skill for VFX Compositing.
Angeliki M.
Highly recommended Python course! The instructor is knowledgeable and skilled. It is the best choice for someone looking to learn Python!
As you can see in the contents guide, the video lessons are generally short, but they are not all the same duration. This is because each lesson contains the amount of information that I consider ideal for you to digest in one sitting.
You will be able to access the course forever! You’ll have access to the lessons, both in the current version and for all future updates that I will be making to this course. I only reserve the right to warn and/or revoke access to the platform in case a user has repeated unusual activity with the access IPs.
Please refer to the course Terms and Conditions for more information.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly!
No, the entire platform is online and interactive, and all content, questions and answers and live sessions are streamed.
In general this is not an issue nowadays that we have connection practically all the time. But if you are planning a flight or something similar where you are going to be a couple of hours without internet, if you have a laptop with you, a good option might be to organize yourself to practice the Python part during that time.
This course is designed for personal use only, online and non-transferable (as outlined in the course Terms and Conditions), but I also offer tailored packages for studios or schools interested in offering it to their artists or students.
Among other options, I offer packages of access codes for a defined number of students/artists. You can contact me directly for more information on this and other custom formats.
