#THE FOUNDRY NUKE STUDIO UPGRADE#

Philippa: There will be lots of upgrade options available, we’re working on them all now, but won’t announce them until on or around the release of NUKE STUDIO. Text in the timelineįxg: Is there an upgrade path for NUKE and NUKE X, or HIERO users? Those same real-time effects can then be flipped into a normal NUKE composite at any time. This allows multiple stackable real-time effects in the timeline. The timeline effects are the same NUKE nodes that users are familiar with but implemented with a new real-time GPU path. Jon W: There is new processing and performance code.

#THE FOUNDRY NUKE STUDIO CODE#

We knew we could make a product like this, but finding out what it was, what was in it and if people actually wanted it was really key.įxg: How much is this going to have the same performance when doing similar tasks as normal NUKE? In other words, is it the same code re-packaged or is there new processing/performance code? Again in the announcement you mention GPU effects – are these different from NUKE? That was the most important thing for us. Philippa: A huge amount of input was taken from both current customers and also new people that are not current NUKE users or customers of ours. Editingįxg: We know that NUKE STUDIO has already been shown already to clients in LA and London – how much input did they get during development? So after a lot of development work and a lot of client input we’ve come up with a new product at the top of the NUKE range, which is NUKE STUDIO. The response was fantastic – but it’s a long way from there to making a product. Philippa: So a year ago Jon Wadelton, NUKE Product Manager, showed an interesting idea he’d cooked up – running NUKE inside HIERO. We have no solid release date but it will be later this year.įxg: How long has this project been in the works? Philippa: A public beta will be available for all NUKE, NUKEX and HIERO customers with valid maintenance in the next few months. In announcing the new product at the NAB, The Foundry stated “NUKE STUDIO will give users the ability to do VFX, editorial and finishing in one single application and will be available later this year.” Per clip notes and on frame notesįxg: The press release says that the NUKE STUDIO will ship ‘later this year’, can you be more specific? As someone who uses HIERO a lot, I find this is a great next step and one I am really keen to explore, the potential could be huge.” Jeff Heusser, a co-founder of fxguide and a major user of The Foundry’s HIERO product, said: “I think this is a great move forward for The Foundry. – Chris Smith, Commercials Director comments The wonderful Becks leads the live event Visual effects, editing, it’s all there.” There’s no need to go out to another system. It allows you to work with clients immediately on the whole process and get as detailed as you want. You can back up and go forward as you want to.

“The brilliance of NUKE STUDIO is that you can think of a project from beginning to end as one step. NUKE Product Manager Jon Wadelton commented upon the release: “With NUKE STUDIO we’ve created a solution that enables supervisors and leads the power to run a project with complete individual control but without any restrictions on the collaborative workflow that is so important today.” Built on the back of both NUKE and HIERO, the new tool extends the Foundry’s product line into more of a client and supervisor session system that will no doubt prove hugely popular. The product is a combining of online and VFX tools into one new integrated NUKE STUDIO toolset with GPU processing and render farm technology. – Philippa Carroll, NUKE Product Marketing Managerīelow our interview is the official press release, and at NAB The Foundry broadcast this announcement live. It has taken a lot of hard work and creative thinking to get here, we are really proud of the team and keen to see how our users respond”,

“This is one of the most significant advances to the NUKE product line we have made. Philippa Carroll, NUKE Product Marketing Mng.
