RVM for Nuke

Introduction

This project implements Robust Video Matting (RVM) inside The Foundry's Nuke, enabling high-quality real-time background matting using deep learning.

This adaptation allows RVM to run natively within Nuke as a Cattery model, making it easy to integrate into existing compositing workflows without requiring additional dependencies.

Features

• High-quality real-time video matting with detail preservation
• Optimized deep learning model using rvm_mobilenetv3.pth
• Support for RGB and Alpha channels, enabling direct compositing
• Works on a wide range of backgrounds without requiring trimaps
• Lightweight and efficient, allowing fast inference directly in Nuke

---

Compatibility

• Tested on Nuke 14.1v5 and Linux

---

Installation

1. Download and extract the latest release.
2. Copy the extracted Cattery folder to your .nuke directory or Nuke's plugin path.
3. In Nuke, go to Cattery > Update, or restart Nuke.
4. The RVM node will be accessible under Cattery > Matting > RVM.

Model Information

This implementation uses the MobileNetV3-based RVM model (rvm_mobilenetv3.pth), which is optimized for real-time performance while maintaining matting results.
