Benefits
- NUKE’s multi-channel, multi-view, high dynamic range compositing features the industry’s broadest support for multi-channel EXR images, which significantly improves your workflow, productivity and data management.
- NUKE’s powerful and fully integrated 3D environment enables flexible combination of 2D and 3D workflows and exciting new ways to approach compositing and visual effects challenges.
- Even when processing super high resolution footage at the highest 32-bit floating point precision on modest hardware, NUKE’s multi-threaded, scanline-based rendering engine gives rapid artist feedback and accurate results.
- NUKE fits perfectly into VFX pipelines and makes it easy for artists to customise and tightly integrate new tools. The control of processing and the user interface uses standard Python scripting, or artists can drill down to the industry standard OFX image processing plug-in API and the in-depth NDK NUKE developers kit.
- Saveable layouts, customisation capabilities and quick navigation features make managing large, complex composites easier than ever.
- NUKE is available on WindowsTM, LinuxTM and Mac OS XTM - all at equal cost. Licenses float across operating systems, so every artist can work where they are most comfortable and creative and offline batch rendering can be at its most efficient.
