The Foundry lets end-users do the talking at IBC 2009
16 July 2009
London, UK - A strong line up of VFX artists from across Europe will provide practical insights in to how they use The Foundry’s compositing and plug-in products at its IBC 2009 stand 7.F28 in the RAI Centre, Amsterdam.
The Foundry team will showcase Nuke 6.0, a major release of its acclaimed compositing software, which delivers a totally re-written Paint and Roto toolset resulting in significant performance improvements and shape flexibility. Nuke 6.0 also includes Keylight - The Foundry’s industry renowned keyer that is particularly good at tackling reflections and hair.
The release of Nuke 6.0 coincides with the launch of NukeX, a brand new compositing application. Building on Nuke’s award-winning toolset, NukeX gives digital artists integrated access to sophisticated lens tools, 3D camera tracking as well as image and motion analysis.
Building a family of Nuke products enables The Foundry to offer a Nuke workflow to facilities of all sizes - a pipeline that not only fits their requirements now, but can also accommodate whatever the future brings. Nuke will continue to evolve and be a flexible VFX tool ideal for a multitude of tasks, whilst NukeX brings previously inaccessible tools and workflow options to compositing artists, saving time and increasing the quality of their work.
Nuke and NukeX are fully script-compatible, with Nuke capable of viewing and rendering nodes created using the extended NukeX toolset.
The Foundry will also release Ocula2 at IBC 2009. Ocula, the company’s range of stereoscopic plug-ins, and a TVB Europe IBC Award-winner last year, has had a serious makeover to encompass suggestions driven by production feedback.
Ocula 2 enables artists to manipulate aspects of live action stereoscopic footage such as the vertical alignment and interocular shift, as well as labour saving by replicating paint and roto shapes applied to one eye directly onto the second.
