Comments from the Beta Sites

“Nuke 5.1 is a really great achievement for The Foundry . With 64 bit we are not getting any runtime errors while using more than 30 passes of 4k images with rsmb motion blur - not a single crash. We did the first visual effects 4k film “Drona” using The Foundry’s Nuke software in India.” Soumyadip Chakraborty, Associate Compositing Supervisor at EyeQube Studios.

“Thanks so much for 64 bit, this is huge! I have a script with 50 or so tilesets, 20k wide each on average. Nuke takes advantage of all 6G RAM on my system. Three thumbs up!” Johan Aberg, Weta Digital

“I’ve been running tests with some fbx scenes, camera animation, multiple models, etc… In my humble opinion this is the biggest improvement and it is working brilliantly. Thanks for the great work!” Sean Devereaux, Freelance Compositing Supervisor

“I’ve been dealing with huge environment set ups here and most of the time I’m not even aware of the fact that my Nuke script is using 10+GB of memory. Not to mention the speed improvements I get when going to 5.1. A huge thank you for targeting this as a priority!!” Frank Rueter, 2D Technical Director at Digital Domain

“We’re currently working on a stereoscopic IMAX movie with CG planes comped on live plates. One of our comp artists was struggling to render the motion blur using VectorBlur on the 4K images without a crash. I gave him access to Nuke 5.1 64bit on his machine and everything is working flawlessly. We’re glad The Foundry took that step forward.” Franocis Lord, Lead Technical Director at ObliqueFx
