NUKE 7.0 highlights
Unrivalled speed and power - NUKE 7.0 features RAM playback cache to give artists real-time playback and GPU acceleration to speed up interactive processing when dealing with MotionBlur, Kronos, Denoise, VectorGenerator, Convolve and ZDefocus.
Day to day compositing the way you want it - NUKE's roto tools have been entirely redefined to enhance performance and improve stereo support, and the latest release also now includes Primatte 5, a new 2D tracker and support for ARRIRAW and the latest R3D SDK. The SplineWarp node and DopeSheet have also benefited from major improvements.
Blurring the line between 2D and 3D - With NUKE 7.0 artists can now relight renders in the comp environment using the Relight node and even model using NUKEXs new ModelBuilder, reducing the need to roundtrip to another tool or hand work off to other departments. NUKE's Deep compositing workflow benefits from the addition of OpenEXR 2.0 and the 3D system welcomes the Alembic file format.
