jrockstad Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) I had a feeling they were probably waiting for NAB to roll this out, and indeed, here it is! http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/nuke/non-commercial/ We've long been in need of a better solution than the old PLE version for those wanting to learn Nuke, so this is fantastic to see. Addendum: Good news from Blackmagic Design as well, who have announced that Fusion 8 will include OS X and Linux versions. There is a little teaser video on their front page demonstrating Fusion running natively on OS X. Edited April 14, 2015 by jrockstad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Nice! Not a biggie, but could be frustrating, appartently you can't write out 3d geo in the non-commercial version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeLetellier Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) "However individuals or businesses creating content as promotional materials for themselves or their company in order to gain commercial work can not use a Non-commercial license for this." If they want me to use Nuke, they need to go limited commercial style like Houdini is. Otherwise I'll be going Fusion once V8 gets released.

jrockstad Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hmm... I think their distinction between a personal project / demo reel and "promotional materials" is a bit ambiguous. I assume the intention is that you aren't allowed to directly solicit work from people with material made in the non-commercial version, but that demo reels and such posted on YouTube / Vimeo are fine. This seems like a point that is worthy of some clarification. In any case, I'm definitely with you on wanting an Indie-style Nuke. After the Modo and Mari indie versions came out it seemed like Nuke should have been the best logical step. I guess working out a pricing structure given how expensive a full NukeX license is might be one of the sticking points there. Hopefully they still pursue that at some point in the future.

Guest tar Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 For the commercial version currently I would only go NukeX over Nuke for Kronos SynthEyes replaces their camera & planar tracker, Houdini for particles, and, Photoscan for point-cloud & mesh generation.
