I have been trying for the last few days in creating an Earth Zoom also known as a Cosmic Zoom or as I like to think of it simply as "image nesting". I found a tutorial for it in AE and it seams straight forward. It can also be done in Flame with the same logical steps, however I have been unable to do the same thing using Nuke. The problem is that once a node passes through a merge the pixels are baked down. You can have transform nodes one after the other doing inverse things and because of CONCATENATING they will cancel each other out without effect. but if you scale something down using a transform and merge it with another plate the output can not be inversely scaled back up with out degradation. Short of creating giant 30K and larger images (using a reformat to nest them ) I can't make something work as efficiently as possible. Below is the tutorial of the After Effects setup. If any one can give some pointers that would be an amazing help
