About Me

Crafting Worlds,
One Composite at a Time

I'm Nikhil Srivastwa, a Lead VFX Compositor with over 12 years of experience delivering high-end visual effects for feature films, episodic television, and commercial productions. My work spans the full compositing pipeline — from beauty work and colour grading to complex CG integration, matte painting, and crowd simulations.

Beyond the comp, I'm passionate about Python scripting and building bespoke pipeline tools in Nuke — Gizmos that solve real production problems and free artists to focus on what matters. I've been exploring Unreal Engine for real-time VFX, virtual production workflows, and AI-driven image generation with ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion.

Experiments

ComfyUI · Nuke
AI-Based Relighting (PBR Pass Extraction & Relighting)
This R&D experiment explored an AI-assisted relighting workflow for live-action footage using AI-generated PBR-style passes from ComfyUI and neural relighting in Nuke with Bebble AI. The goal was to achieve controllable cinematic relighting within a traditional compositing pipeline without requiring full CG reconstruction or photogrammetry. The test used a dynamic live-action shot featuring a female subject emerging from a vehicle with complex lighting, reflections, and motion blur.
