The Foundry, leading developer of visual
effects software whose products have been used to make globally
acclaimed movies such as Avatar, is pleased to announce that
Soho VFX, a world-class visual effects facility with studios
in Toronto and Los Angeles, has invested heavily in Nuke.
Bill Collis, CEO, The Foundry, said, “We are delighted
to welcome Soho VFX into the Nuke family. We spent a lot of
time working closely with Soho VFX to ensure that Nuke was
going to fit nicely into their current pipeline. It is a big
decision to change a business’ complete pipeline over
to a new product, no matter what it is. There are many areas
the tools and companies need to ensure line up and we were
very pleased to have been involved from the outset.”
Allan Magled, CEO, Soho VFX, said, “Soho VFX, like many
facilities today, has spent years building a scalable workflow
to satisfy the growing demands of the visual effects industry.
This is not a simple task. Ideally we need to ensure that
the compositing tools that we use are fast, reliable, extremely
customizable and that they enable us to push the boundaries
of creativity. Most importantly they need to run on a variety
of hardware platforms and work seamlessly with a multitude
of other applications that are used across our facilities
daily.
Our Nuke evaluation was quite lengthy. We looked very closely
at render and desktop performance over several iterations
of the product. Integration into our current environment from
both a developers and 2D Artist’s standpoint was very
important to us and, as such, we spent a lot of time looking
at scripting and internal development tools in Nuke as well
as ease of use in transitioning from our previous compositing
application. Lastly we took a strong look at the development
history and future road map of Nuke to ensure its direction
matched our own. In doing so we have found Nuke to be a polished
compositing suite with a long and bright future.”
