About
Nuke is a powerful compositing package that provides users with the fastest speeds and top-notch features unrivaled in the desktop market. The solution is a production-proven visual effects tool that will bring speed, functionality and flexibility to your VFX pipeline.
Hiero allows you to create a single production process by combining data streams from various sources. The package has the ability to combine materials from various stages of creation on a single timeline, which allows you to very quickly evaluate the project being created in accordance with the scenario and stages of creation. Automation of many functions will eliminate complex manual processes.
This is a program for creating special effects in film and video. The program has been used to create special effects in many films, including King Kong and The Day After Tomorrow, as well as hundreds of commercials and music videos. The program is used for editing video clips or a queue of images (sequences). It is used in processing, applying effects, final assembly, etc. of video and film material, when creating commercials, as well as for other tasks.
The product is a clear representative of the node architecture, which explains its clarity and consistency. In the fifth version of the program, not only the interface has been completely changed, but also the ability to script in Python and support for 3D stereoscopy have been added, which is already very relevant. Of course, the developer says that there are significantly fewer bugs.
Features:
Working in a 3D environment
Nuke's 3D workspace supports OBJ import, projection mapping, 3D camera import, and more.
64-channel OpenEXR workflow
Nuke comprehensively supports EXR: reading, processing and writing up to 64 channels of EXR data.
Sifting
The new image based keyer (IBK) provides the ability to manipulate colors in a new way, namely individually working with each color channel. This made the finest tuning possible.
Customizable interface
Saving configurations, customizing the interface and improving tools, such as the "bullseye" and "input" buttons, as well as TCL node labels, make navigating large scripts much easier.
Productivity
Even when processing high-resolution material on modest 32-bit floating point hardware, the multi-threaded scan-line architecture ensures fast response. When it comes to rendering, Nuke can easily be called a leader in its class.
Openness
Nuke supports the principle of being as open as possible. Both the scripts and the user interface are based on the TCL scripting language, allowing the package to be customized in countless ways. Moreover, the kit also includes an SDK.
Plugins
All OpenFX (OFX) plugins from The Foundry are fully compatible with Nuke. Keylight keyer, Tinder and Furnace collections in OFX format are also currently supported. The list will be expanded in the future.
