The Foundry’s Nuke is fast becoming the industry leader in compositing software for
film and TV. Virtually all the leading visual effects studios—ILM, Digital Domain, Weta
Digital, MPC, Framestore, The Mill, and Sony Pictures Imageworks—now use Nuke
as their main compositing tool. This is not surprising, as Nuke offers a flexible nodebased
approach to compositing, has a native multi-channel workflow, and boasts a
powerful integrated 3D compositing environment that delivers on the artist’s needs.
Nuke was first developed as the in-house compositing tool at Digital Domain, the
visual effects studio behind the Terminator series, The Fifth Element, Tron: Legacy,
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and other major films. The software has been
developed by artists for artists to meet the immediate needs of actual top-level
productions. Nuke is now developed by The Foundry ( www.thefoundry.co.uk), which
remains committed to making Nuke the best tool for compositing artists working in
the trenches.
