Rafal Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Hi there My friend sent me this link to news: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hollywood...tent_id=1540884 What is NUKE? Did anyone see NUKE screenshots? Has it same functionality of work like shake ( pipes, easy to write custom plugins, simple script, cc)? Is it so fast as shake?

Jason Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Thanks Marc, (takes a bow) Nuke is our in-house compositor which we're considering selling now. It's a really fast scanline-rendering floating point precision compositor. It's node-based, like Shake. The entire package is built on top of tcl so it's very very scriptable. It's moderately easy to write plugins, but there are plans to make it very easy, I'm sure especially if it goes commercial. Because it's in-house, not a whole lot of time is spent on the dressing up of the application. It looks boring, but has a an incredible amount of power behind it and is very adaptable to other environments due to the scripting. And it's tried and tested Cheers, J.

rarefunk Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Hi Rafal you might want to check this link for some screenshots http://www.fxguide.com/modules.php?name=Ne...=article&sid=50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualAlex Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Nice! This has gotta be a really big news. I am sure SCAD's Motion Graphics department will be getting Nuke in a heart beat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peng Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 When I first heard that Shake will go all the way for MAC i was so mad. I realy like the idea behind the whole Shake concept. I saw few screenshots of Nuke - it looks scary I mean - not so intuitive interface. Do u plan to make it more convenient for "not after MIT guys" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anakin78z Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 actually, nuke is not scary at all. far from it... if you've used shake, you can pick nuke up in a day. easy. (well, not that I've done anything super complicated with it...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plan9 Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 hi Peng, Theoretically, its counter productive to make a hard-to-use program....with that in mind, im sure learning nuke will be just as "easy" as shake...i use the word easy loosely, because everything has a learning curve, some more than others *cough* houdini *cough*... Also depends if Nuke has proper documentation and support. Mike C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danteA Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Speaking of compositors, why hasn't anyone talked about Houdini's all-new compositor, Halo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Dunno... Personally I think that Halo rules. Its easily among the best compositors I've ever seen, and I've seen a few. Granted its missing some features, but its early days yet, so I can't wait to see whats coming out in the nexst while. Marc P.S. Cheap too.. only $2999 for 4 platforms.

Jason Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 It seems like DD is now seriously considering selling NUKE whereas before it was just a bit of research. Some other NUKE features for you: *) Floating point *) Deep rasters *) Works in custom colour-spaces (very *very* important for film-work) *) 3D cameras, Pan n Tile cards, etc *) Rotoscoping *) Multithreaded *) TCL scriptable *) Very fast startup time, fast operators *) Proxy/High rez alternatives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Halo included with the complete (family?) Houdini 5.5 package? Oh and, NUKE being written with TCL is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stremik Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Isn't Halo included with the complete (family?) Houdini 5.5 package? It does. But you can also get it as a standalone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That's what I meant.) Thanks for telling me though. I just wanted to make sure you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peng Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Looks like it is a great enviroment to work within. Any dates when it will be out to the public ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
