Nuke – {archiviert!}

Nuke – {archiviert!}

The Foundry NUKE 13 / NUKEX 13 is the first choice for compositing and visual effects in film and VFX. NUKE was developed as an in-house tool by Digital Domain, and in a short period of time this software has managed to convince all the major production houses of its outstanding capabilities. The very rapid development of new tools in NUKE helps professional productions to always stay on time and to increase working quickly and effectively.

The Foundry NUKE itself is available in four versions:

The large NUKEX version offers all the powerful tools of the NUKE standard suite additionally including a 3D camera tracker, a planar tracker, a 3D particle system, Denoising, a point cloud generation and much more.

Also there is a NUKE Studio version, which offers beside the NUKEX features a set of powerful Timeline-based features.

For Indies there is a full-fleshed NUKE for Indies version (NUKE Studio with sevaral limitations).

For learning and testing, the manufacturer offers a free PLE-version of the software, and a 15-days trial version.

Besides the training, we also provide a detailed, free advice before you buy a package, as well as consulting and project support during a production.
