Framestore, the largest visual effects and computer animation studio in Europe, is the latest major facility to invest in a Nuke site license. Framestore has been using Nuke on all recent projects including Avatar<\/em>, James Cameron’s vfx spectacular which had its London-based premiere last night, and Where the Wild Things Are.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Projects tackled in Nuke include Where the Wild Things Are<\/p><\/div>\n

Other projects also being tackled in Nuke include Sherlock Holmes<\/em>, Clash of the Titan<\/em>s<\/em>, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader<\/em>, Harry Potter and Deathly Hallow<\/em>s, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time <\/em>and Nanny McPhee and The Big Bang<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Framestore, which won Academy and BAFTA Awards in 2008 in recognition of VFX work on The Golden Compass, now joins Sony Pictures Imageworks, ILM and Weta Digital as Nuke site license holders.<\/p>\n

According to Christian Kaestner, Head of Nuke Compositing at Framestore, the decision to invest in Nuke came down to speed and flexibility. \u201cNuke is simply incredibly fast, interactive, and flexible, even in quite complex comps with several hundred nodes,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe interactivity the artist gets from Nuke out of the box is quite impressive – it even allows the supervisor to sit down with the artist to do an \u2018interactive\u2019 session if needed. And when building Nuke into the pipeline, we were able to access existing Python scripts and modules that weren\u2019t even designed for use with Nuke.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur artists adapted quickly to the Nuke workflow,\u201d continued Kaestner. \u201cThe first full Nuke project was Quantum of Solace, which was one of the smoothest projects I have ever worked on and won us a VES nomination for \u2018outstanding compositing\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaestner also praised the tool\u2019s worth on the recent Cameron production. \u201cMost recently Avatar required us to push technology to the limits – not just at the 3D or TD level but also at a compositing level,\u201d he said. \u201cNuke surpassed all of our expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyle Goodsell, Head of 2D at Framestore, is also a firm fan of Nuke. \u201cFrom every perspective, Nuke and the Foundry provide us with the tools and support that we need for our compositors,\u201d said Goodsell. \u201cCompositors have been crying out for a suitable replacement for Shake for quite a long time. Having a site license not only provides us with future opportunities but also enables us to attract key talent to the team. This is not just in compositing, but also for FX, Lighting and Pipeline. Nuke is now, and very much the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bill Collis, CEO of The Foundry, welcomed the sale. \u201cIt\u2019s great news that Framestore have purchased a Nuke site license and that their experience with the software has been so good,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are very proud that such a hugely respected visual effects studio is using our software \u2013 and very excited by the movies it\u2019s been used in, and will be used in going forwards.\u201d<\/p>\n
