Shadow layer making scene lighter/blurry and 2D asset disappears
Hello everyone
I am a first year student studying animation and VFX and this is the first composition we have been assigned to do following along tutorials made by my lecturer. So I am a complete beginner but slowly understanding how nuke works.
However I am currently struggling to get my shadow layer and the Cloud.png to show at the same time. The shadow layer is also causing the scene to become much brighter and blurry as you can see going from the cloud merge node to the shadow merge node. I have been trying to use Gemini for help but it's been all a bit confusing for me. Have I got the nodes connected wrong, have I got a setting that I shouldn't be using or is their another node I can plug in to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, if you need anymore information please just ask.
Thank you for your time.
