NukeX Changelog

What's new in NukeX 15.0v1

Oct 12, 2023

The new version of Nuke includes native Apple silicon support, faster CopyCat training, continued evolution of the new 3D system, and more improvements designed to make your workday more efficient.
Extended High-Resolution Support:
For users working at very high resolutions, on installations such as large events, theme park rides, and in virtual production, Nuke now supports a number of planar operations on images up to 64K, with sufficient hardware. This means that for Nuke 14.1, all CaraVR nodes, Spherical Transforms and Lens Distortions can now be used on even larger resolutions, giving you greater scalability in your projects.
Faster CopyCat Training:
With Nuke 14.1’s new distributed training, you can share the load across multiple machines using standard render farm applications. This makes training faster and means you can carry on using Nuke with CopyCat running in the background. And with multi-resolution training, CopyCat will now automatically lower image resolutions to reduce file size during the early stages. This can reduce training times by up to 50%.
New GeoMerge Workflows (Beta):
The updated GeoMerge node gives you greater control when merging your geometry and USD layers. The GeoMerge node includes four new modes: Merge Layers, Duplicate Prims, Flatten Layers, and Flatten to Single Layer. So whether you just want to merge branching pipes quickly, recreate classic duplication workflows, or have greater control over how your layers are managed, the new mode and UI will provide a more intuitive experience.
3D Viewer Selection (Beta):
Improved viewer selection tools offer greater control when working with much larger stages within the 3D system, with a dedicated 3D toolbar and new two-tier selections. With the new toolbar, you can quickly switch between object, face or vertex mode, while new controls enable you to specify your selection based on the type or kind of the prims in the scene. This brings greater control over which level on a piece of geometry you make your selection. And with two-tier selection you can contain it within your geometry, making it easier to focus on one item in a stage – giving you greater control when creating selections in complex scenes.
Scene Graph Popup In The Mask Knob (Beta):
The USD-based 3D system introduced in Nuke 14.0 means you can work with larger, more complex scenes. However, larger scenes means more data and assets. The new Scene Graph Popup makes it easy to filter through the 3D scene data, using the Mask knob to inspect, filter, and select cameras and prims in the context of the scene’s hierarchy. This means you can spend less time searching for the assets you need and more time focusing on the final picture. There’s also a search and filter feature on the main 3D scene graph, for easier navigation.
ScanlineRender2 Updates (Beta):
Building on what we introduced in Nuke 14.0, we’ve further developed ScanlineRender2. It now provides a familiar utility render experience for the new 3D system, while bringing additional benefits and crucially, laying the groundwork for the future of 3D rendering in Nuke. Among various improvements designed to support the rendering of all the utility passes you’re used to, the UI has been made more intuitive, while a new raytracing subsystem allows for improved shadows with raytrace occlusion.
Saturation Slider For Nuke’s Viewer:
For Nuke 14.1, a saturation slider has been added to Nuke’s Viewer. This is a small but much-requested feature, and is designed to help check your work, much like the Gamma and Gain controls already in the Viewer.
Timeline Review Improvements:
Nuke 14.1 is designed to make Nuke Studio review sessions faster and more reactive. Auto-selection of shots under the playhead means you can quickly apply multiple actions, without the need to select individual shots. What’s more, Nuke Studio’s new multi-playhead enables you to compare different frames on the timeline quickly and easily. These and other timeline improvements mean you can compare shots and add effects on the timeline much faster than before, boosting efficiency.
Multi-Pixel Blink Effects In The Timeline:
With Nuke Studio and Hiero you can now apply Blink effects, such as LensDistortion and Denoise at the timeline level, so you don’t have to go back and forth between the timeline and comp environments. The improved BlinkScript enables computation of more than one pixel at a time, so you can write your own effects to perform powerful and complex operations on the timeline.
Machine Learning Inference In The Timeline:
Whether it’s beauty-fix work, matte generation, or something completely different, creative uses for CopyCat are growing as compositors continue to unlock its full potential. With machine learning inference in the timeline, you can ‘audition’ and apply these effects across multiple shots at once during conform and review. You can apply pre-trained .cat files to shots or sequences directly using the Inference soft effect, meaning you can stay focused on the edit and quickly review the results across multiple shots in context, without alternating between the timeline and comp environments.
Automatic Timeline Disk Cache:
Previously, manually re-creating the disk cache every time a change was made to your edit or soft effects on the timeline was a barrier to fast and efficient reviews. With the improved timeline tools, Nuke Studio and Hiero can automatically re-cache any frames that require updates. So no matter how complex your timeline effects or how many you’ve applied, you can continue reviewing while Nuke automatically refreshes the disk cache in the background.
File Format SDK Updates:
Stay up-to-date with industry standards with support for the latest SDKs and cameras. Nuke 14.1 brings improved support for the new ARRI Alexa 35 camera with the ability to read files in HDE format, and we’ve also updated the HDE SDK to version 4.0.3. Whatever the show, we’ve got you covered with a wide range of updates to supported cameras, monitor out cards, and file formats.
OpenColorIO Updates:
Maintain color consistency across your pipeline with OpenColorIO (OCIO) updates in Nuke 14.1. To align with OCIO version 2, we’ve updated the “Write” node and Export dialog for Nuke Studio with a clearly labeled Output Transform subsection, for a simplified, easy-to-understand way of baking in display transforms. The new OCIO Aliases attribute allows configs to define a set of alternate names for a color space.
OpenAssetIO (Tech Preview):
In Nuke 14.1 we’re introducing a tech preview of OpenAssetIO, an open-source interoperability standard for tools and content management systems. Implementing OpenAssetIO across your software stack can help simplify pipeline integration and streamline workflows. This new standard will also make it easier for artists to find and identify the assets they need with more sophisticated asset and version management workflows.
OpenAssetIO connects Nuke to an Asset Management System via a “Manager Plugin” for more information on this see the OpenAssetIO Integration Guide. For details on this mechanism and how to get started writing a plugin for your pipeline, please see the project documentation here.

New in NukeX 14.0v1 (Dec 6, 2022)

New USD-Based 3D Architecture (Beta):
We’re completely revamping Nuke’s 3D system introducing a new beta USD-based system to allow artists to efficiently work with modern 3D scenes at scale.
The new USD architecture brings Nuke’s 3D in line with modern standards and introduces a dedicated scene graph, new path and masking workflows, over 40 nodes, and new USD-based workflows. We’ll be continuing to develop the new 3D system across the Nuke 14 series and, to ensure artists don't lose access to any workflows they are used to, the new system will work in parallel with the classic 3D system.
New 3D System: Scene Graph:
With the new 3D system comes the introduction of a dedicated scene graph that allows users to easily view, navigate and manage large, complex 3D scenes. Artists will get a clear, visual overview of a scene and experience the intuitive drag-and-drop functionality to new path masks in nodes. This advanced scene graph is consistent with modern 3D workflows and ensures every primitive inside the new system will have a unique ID path that will exist in a scene graph hierarchy.
New 3D System: Paths and Masking:
We’re giving artists greater control with new path and masking workflows. All nodes that create geometry will have a new path knob that enables users to determine where the geometry they’re creating lives in the scene hierarchy and how it's named. Similarly, any nodes that modify geometry will have a new mask knob that allows artists to specify which part of the 3D scene that node should affect. These knobs are based on a simplified CEL expression language that allows the use of tokens and expressions. For artists, this means that the knobs can default to intuitive workflows with minimal input, but also allow for complex selections if you want to go deeper.
New 3D System: Lights and Materials:
Introducing new material and light nodes in Nuke 14.0. With support for USD material networks, a new PreviewSurface material node allows for USD-based specular or metallic workflows and materials can display immediately in the viewer when working with USD files with their own looks. This gives artists a way to quickly see their assets in a more accurate representation inside Nuke’s 3D viewer. New USD lights mean that when importing lights from other USD-based applications, you will have the exact same lights inside Nuke and when combined with Hydra and potential future support of additional renderers in Nuke’s viewport, this means artists could see a more consistent image across applications going forward.
New 3D System: Feedback Forum:
So that you can help continue to shape the new 3D system across the 14 series, we are introducing a dedicated community forum to enable discussions and feedback with the 3D team. We’re interested in hearing from you in regards to all areas, from existing nodes and workflow improvements, new node or workflow suggestions, feedback on performance, the API, or new features such as the scene graph or path and masking workflows.
UnrealReader:
In Nuke 14.0, UnrealReader features support for Unreal Custom Render Passes allowing for effects like non-photorealistic rendering, OpenColorIO to allow matching of color spaces between Nuke and Unreal, easier picking of Sequences, and access to Unreal Sequence metadata to retrieve info on objects like lights.
CopyCat Performance Improvements:
Nuke 14.0 ships with UI and performance improvements to Nuke’s AIR tools. These updates include a new checkpoint targeting human matting that has been added to CopyCat, speeding up training by up to ten times. We’ve also upgraded to PyTorch 1.12.1 which widens the range of support for models converted to .cat via the CatFileCreator node and sped up CopyCat training by 20% on NVIDIA Ampere GPUs.
Introducing the Cattery:
The Cattery is a library of free third-party, open source machine learning models converted to .cat files to run natively in Nuke. Cattery aims to bridge the gap between academia and production, giving everyone access to a range of open-source ML models that all run in Nuke. We’ll be giving you access to state-of-the-art models addressing segmentation, depth estimation, optical flow, upscaling, denoising, and style transfer, with plans to expand the models hosted in the future and open the site up to user submissions.
Timeline Updates:
You now have access to full OCIO soft effect support in HieroPlayer. This means projects imported from Studio or Hiero can be opened and all the OCIO soft effects can be accessed and adjusted. New instances of OCIO soft effects can be added on new tracks or clips, giving you even greater control over how you work in HieroPlayer and allowing you to review in the context of a sequence. We’ve also updated OTIO to the latest 0.15 version so that pipelines can continue to explore this new format for moving editorial data throughout your pipeline.
Colorimetry Metadata in Monitor Out:
For artists working with HDR data, we are including colorimetry metadata support to allow for users to have an easier and quicker setup for their monitoring devices. You can now enable and control metadata passed over HDMI or SDI, so that their video content is automatically displayed in HDR on their appropriate monitor, helping to reduce setup time and providing greater workflow efficiencies.
OCIOv2.1 and ACES 1.3
We’ve updated Nuke to support OCIO 2.1.2 and, as part of that, users will also be able to use the latest ACES version 1.3. This includes new color space conversion transforms for supporting ARRI, Sony, Red and BMD cameras as well as the ACES Reference Gamut Compression algorithm for fixing highly saturated images lit with LED light sources.
We are also pleased to announce that we have also added two new configs:
Studio-config-v0.1.0_aces-v1.3_ocio-v2.1.2 - The ACES Studio config is geared toward studios that require a config that includes a wide variety of camera colorspaces, displays and looks. In spirit it is close to the ACES 1.2 config whilst leveraging the new OCIO 2 features and being smaller. As of this release, it does not contain any external dependencies such as LUT files.
Cg-v0.2.0_aces-v1.3_ocio-v2.1.2 - The ACES CG config is intended for use in
Login-Based Team Licensing:
We have extended support for login based licensing to the entire Nuke Family (including render licenses and plug-ins) and expanded it to include new features and functionality for teams and organizations.
Login-based team licensing allows you to manage your pool of licenses, with a number of new tools and features for administrators to control who has access to them, giving you more control and greater flexibility over how you administer and use your software and licenses.CG lookdev, lighting, and rendering applications. It implements a fully-featured ACES color pipeline without the many camera input transforms that make up the bulk of the OCIO v1 ACES configs. The CG config is completely self-contained (no external LUT files), providing a single file color pipeline with minimal clutter. It has robust support for the most common texture and working color spaces, and SDR and HDR output transforms used in high-end CG production environments.

New in NukeX 12.0v3 (Nov 15, 2019)

New in NukeX 12.0v2 (Oct 21, 2019)

Soft Selection:
The Soft Selection feature extends how you can interact with geometry and cards in the 3D viewer. Soft Selection gives you a customizable falloff to your geometry vertex, face, or edge selection. Combined with Nuke 11.3’s lasso selection mode, this feature makes modifying geometry for projection setups, last minute adjustments, or any number of 3D workflows more streamlined.
Edge Extend Node:
Discover Edge Extend, the second of our new GPU accelerated nodes. Edge Extend speeds up artist’s everyday workflows, allowing you to erode or dilate your sample region to pull pixels from deeper inside your alpha. As well as giving you the ability to recover the original detail and noise with no introduction of artifacts.
Inpaint Node:
Introducing Inpaint, one of our new GPU accelerated nodes for common compositing tasks. Our Inpaint node gives you the ability to create contextual paint strokes similar to Photoshop’s Healing Brush, whilst controlling the level of detail, or pulling this detail from another part of the source image, or a second image entirely.
Grid Warp Tracker:
The Grid Warp Tracker helps create match moves, track warps and morphs, as well as allowing you to warp across custom defined grid shapes and use Smart Vectors to drive the grids. The 'To and From' grid workflow enables you to add and copy tracking data between grids, allowing you to retest or make amendments without losing your original data, or having to create a backup version. Exclusively in NukeX, you can use Smart Vectors to drive the grids or set multiple grids for finer adjustments.
Cara VR Node Integration in NukeX:
The majority of Cara VR’s nodes are now integrated into NukeX. This includes a suite of GPU enabled tools for VR and stereo workflows, as well as enhancing traditional camera solving and clean up workflows. Multiple camera setups become easier to manage with Cara VR’s Camera Solver, allowing artists to easily toggle between custom camera setups and solve, to generate a single image. The CameraIngest nodes allows you to easily import cameras from CG or other packages, to use with the Camera Solver. As part of this merge, VR Headset support will be available across the Nuke family, including in Nuke, Nuke Studio, and Hiero.
Nuke Studio, Hiero & HieroPlayer Playback Performance:
This release includes much more stable playback across the timeline-based tools in the Nuke family. The update comes as a result of new timing and control logic in the playback engine, optimized for the heavy I/O demands of color managed workflows with multichannel EXRs, especially at higher resolutions and frame rates.
Interactive Performance:
Nuke 12.0 ships with a variety of optimizations, throughout the software, to improve performance, especially when working at scale. One key improvement offers a much smoother experience when working on large projects and noticeably maintains UI interactivity when working in scripts with over 1,000 nodes. This benefit extends to scripts with many nodes encapsulated in Groups and Live Groups and also results in faster loading of large scripts.
EXR Read and Write Performance:
We’ve optimized performance of both reading and writing of EXRs. Some of the biggest improvements are seen when using planar-based compression types, such as PIZ, Zip16, DWAA and DWAB, allowing for faster reading of files, whether locally from disk or off a network. Reading in data can be a major performance bottleneck, improving read speeds adds to interactive performance and reduces processing time when rendering scripts.
OCIO Role Support:
The Nuke family now supports OCIO roles, which allows you to set custom role names as an alias for a specific colorspace, making it easier for artists to know which LUT to use and to share scripts between projects or facilities. You still get access to all the colorspace options you always have, but now the roles can act as a quick way to understand the color workflow of a given show. We’ve also improved error handling, so when artists are switching between shows, there isn’t any mishandling of which roles or LUTs are available or should be used.
Industry Standards and File Format Updates:
Nuke 12.0 supports VFX Reference Platform 2019, which sees Nuke using the latest versions of Qt and OpenEXR. The RED SDK has been upgraded to version 7.1, including support for CUDA-based GPU decoding of RED files in Nuke and NukeX. Sony SDK version 3.3 adds support for v4 of the VENICE camera and X-OCN XT files. SDKs for BlackMagic and AJA monitor out cards have also been upgraded to the latest major versions. Additionally, the Nuke family now supports reading of DNxHR encoded .mxf files. See the Tech specs and release notes for full details of updated format, GPU and operating system support.

New in NukeX 11.2v3 (Aug 17, 2018)

New in NukeX 11.2v1 (Jul 18, 2018)

New Features:
Improved Tab Menu:
The Node Graph's tab menu has been improved, including a new search algorithm, allowing you to search for
And add nodes more easily using partial names. Commonly used nodes are weighted so that they appear higher
Up the list of choices and you can also favorite nodes, pinning them to the top of the list with the star icon.
Weights and favorites can be enabled, disabled and cleared in Preferences > Behaviors > Nodes. The J
Bookmarked nodes menu also supports the updated search functionality.
New Interface for User Knob Creation:
Also known as Drag-and-drop knobs (DnD), this update significantly reduces the time spent exposing user
Knobs and adding custom knobs to node properties panels within Nuke. As a result, you can create and modify
Gizmos and Live Groups more easily, stream-lining collaborative workflows.
Instead of right-clicking and selecting Manage User Knobs, simply click the edit button at the top of the
Properties panel to get started. You can drag-and-drop knobs between open node panels or add your own
Using the knob icons listed at the top of the panel. You can also order, hide, customize and delete knobs within
The Properties panel. If you work with floating panels, you can float the User Knob Editor too. Click the edit
Button again to finish customization.
Nuke Studio Project Panel Improvements:
These are a collection of enhancements to the way you can organize, manage and navigate through your
Projects in Nuke Studio. This new functionality also applies to the spreadsheet and the timeline.
New Sorting - we have introduced a new way to arrange your project bin alphabetical or by custom order. This
Is accessible through the new buttons at the top of the Project panel and it has controls for the hierarchy view
And on the bin view independently.
Improved Searching - we have also improved the search functionality on the Project panel and on the
Spreadsheet with new options to search all metadata or not, and to use all or any of the input string.
Poster Frame - a new poster frame functionality allows you to set the poster frame for your source clips and
Shots. You can set it for single or multiple source clips using absolute or relative frames, which is useful when
You have shots with slates or black handles.
Color Assignments - you can now assign colors to your source clips, shots, and spreadsheet events. You can
Also set colors based on file types.
Smart Vector Toolset Improvements:
The Smart Vector Toolset in NukeX has several improvements that speed up the generation of the Smart
Vectors and extend the use cases where the toolset can be used.
GPU Acceleration - the SmartVector and VectorDistort nodes have been rewritten to make the best use of
The GPU, dramatically reducing the time it takes to both create the smart motion vectors and use them to warp
Images.
Mask Input to SmartVector - to help with handling occlusions and image boundaries, you can now supply a
Mask to the SmartVector node to specify regions containing unwanted objects or motion.
Background Vector Rendering - you can now render SmartVectors in the background using the Export Write
Button.
File Localization API Extension:
Building on the updates to the localization system in Nuke 11.1, the system has been further extended to provide
Greater control over customization through new callbacks. We have also added a new environment variable,
NUKE_LOCALIZATION_NUMWATCHERS, to improve performance when checking the validity of localized
Files, especially when working with scripts with a high number of Read nodes or a high number of frames.
Additional python callbacks:
The following python callbacks have been added, giving further control over files and Read nodes as they are
Added to the queue to be localized and transition between being out of date and localized.
Callback functions executed on each file’s localization event:
Localization.FileEvent.ADDED
Localization.FileEvent.REMOVED
Localization.FileEvent.OUT_OF_DATE
Localization.FileEvent.CACHE_FULL
Localization.FileEvent.DISK_FULL
Callback functions executed on each Read nodes localization event:
Localization.ReadStatus.NOT_LOCALIZED
Localization.ReadStatus.LOCALIZING
Localization.ReadStatus.PARTIALLY_LOCALIZED
Localization.ReadStatus.LOCALIZED
Localization.ReadStatus.OUT_OF_DATE
Localization.ReadStatus.LOCALIZATION_DISABLED
Auto switch to from localized to network files:
A new preference, read source files when localized files are out of date, has been added. When enabled,
Nuke checks the localized files against the source files and switches to their source files if the local files become
Out of date.
Control over the number of simultaneous file checks:
A new environment variable NUKE_LOCALIZATION_NUMWATCHERS controls the number of simultaneous
File checks, improving performance when working with large scripts over a high capacity network. We have
Found that checking the status or force updating a large number of reads or large sequences could create a
Bottleneck as Nuke evaluated the files. To improve this we have added an option to increase the number of file
Checks that can occur at once to expedite this process with an appropriate network configuration.
ARRI SDK Update:
ARRIRAW has been updated to version 5.4.3.5, adding the following features:
Alexa LF formats and color tables
Rec2100/PQ and Rec2100/HLG HDR colorspaces
Extended white balance CC values from -16 to +16
The full ARRI SDK release notes are publicly available from:
Http://www.arri.com/support/downloads/searchable_downloads/
R3D SDK Update:
R3D SDK has been updated to version 7.0.6, adding the following features:
R3D Weapon Monstro 8K VV and Helium 8K S35 Sensors
ImageColorDCIP3, ImageColorProPhotoRGB, ImageColorDCIP3D65 colorspaces
ImageGammaHybridLogGamma, ImageGamma2_2, ImageGamma2_6 Gamma Curves
New Deep Compositing API:
Nuke has a new API for Deep Compositing which manages memory more efficiently, resulting in improved
performance for some Nodes. Nuke’s native deep compositing nodes have been converted to this new API and
in our tests, scripts are processed up to 1.6x faster compared to Nuke 11.1. Performance improvements vary by
node and set up; for example, DeepRecolor and DeepTransform show the best gains, while DeepColorCorrect
has little improvement.
To take advantage of these performance improvements, custom deep nodes need to be converted to the new
API. Existing custom nodes will still work in Nuke 11.2, defaulting to the pre-existing API, but will not have any
gains in performance.
Deep Compositing Improvements:
In addition to the new API, Nuke 11.2v1 includes a number bug fixes and improvements to the deep compositing
tools including the DeepExpression node having functional parity with Nuke’s standard Expression node.
Workflows using metadata have also been added to Nuke’s Deep nodes. Metadata nodes (ModifyMetadata,
ViewMetadata, CopyMetadata, and so on) can now be used in a tree with Deep nodes.
The DeepMerge node has been updated to allow you to use metadata from either the A input, the B input, or
both.

New in NukeX 11.1v3 (Apr 17, 2018)

New in NukeX 10.5v1 (Feb 22, 2017)

New Features:
Blend Tracks:
Nuke Studio's track blending feature now allows you to apply several new blend modes, as well as the existing over
blend. Additionally, a new masking feature has been implemented to limit the selected blend function to only those
areas covered by the image's alpha channel.
You can still designate blend tracks using the right-click Editorial menu, but track headers now feature buttons to
turn blending on and off without using the menu.
Click the Blend icon to toggle blending on and off.
Click and hold the Blend icon to select the blend mode.
Click the Mask icon to toggle alpha masking on and off. The Mask feature limits the effect of the blend to just
those areas covered by the alpha channel in the blend image.
Create Comp:
Nuke scripts created from the timeline now maintain concatenation, and are laid out more neatly. The total number
of nodes is also reduced as we have removed Constant and Copy nodes, and swapped the FrameRange and
AppendClip nodes for TimeClip and Merge nodes.
Export:
Nuke Studio's Export dialog has been re-arranged for clarity and ease of use. The core functionality is unchanged,
but the new layout improves visibility and uses the available space more efficiently.
BUG ID 234898 - Export: Loading a project from an earlier version of Nuke Studio displays a warning, suggesting
you save a new version of the project before continuing.
153233 - Versioning: Writing a new version of a clip instance now creates a corresponding new folder in the export
path, if the folder doesn't already exist.
Format and Resolution Improvements:
Working with multiple formats and resolutions is now much easier. Now you can easily change the resolution format
of your timeline and maintain any transforms or crop soft effects to match the new timeline resolution.
We have also changed the options for the interpretation of clip instances on the timeline to be more intuitive, using
the timeline Properties panel, which defaults to None, maintaining the timeline resolution. These options also carry
over to the Export dialog where you can decide at what resolution you want to render your comps.
RayRender:
BUG ID 233034 - A new Transmission shader has been added, found under 3D > Shader, which adds support for
transparent shadows.
Feature Enhancements:
BUG ID 152134 - Write: Rendering now creates the necessary directories as specified in the Write node's file
control, if they don't exist.
BUG ID 153528 - Nuke, Nuke Studio, and Hiero now support Apple ProRes 4444 XQ encoding.
BUG ID 177736 - Export: The Export dialog now includes the do not attach prefix option for .exr files.
BUG ID 177737 - Export: The Export dialog now includes the interleave option for .exr files.
BUG ID 198597 - Timeline: Nuke Studio now includes reformatting controls for clip instances on the timeline in the
Properties tab. You can also set the behavior for new clip instances at Project Settings level and Preferences
level. The Project Settings determine how clips are formatted in new sequences, and the Preferences determine
how clips are formatted in new projects.
BUG ID 215257 - Channels: Nuke now sorts the RGBA layer first by default. To process channels using the legacy
method, set the NUKE_LEGACY_CHANNEL_SORTING environment variable.
BUG ID 239202 - Export: You can now define which Write node in your export structure you want to use as your
main output for the timeline using the Content menu > Timeline Write Node dropdown. The Write node
selected is connected to the Viewer in the resulting script and is also used to render any comp containers in the
sequence.

New in NukeX 10.0v2 (Jun 10, 2016)

New in NukeX 9.0v8 (Feb 18, 2016)

New Features:
AAF Import and Conform
Imported AAFs now support transform, crop, and retime edit decisions implemented in third- party applications, such as Avid Media Composer or Apple Final Cut Pro. The information in the .aaf is interpreted using soft effects, such as Transform and Crop. Non- linear retimes are not currently supported, but constant linear retimes are handled in the same way as in previous versions of Nuke Studio and Hiero.
Multi-View QuickTime
Nuke, Nuke Studio, and Hiero can now read multi- view .mov files, in a similar way to .exr files, except that they are set to only show the first view by default. To enable all views in a multi- view .mov file: 1. Import the .mov file as normal, File > Import File , or Read it in using the Node Graph. 2. Navigate to Project > Edit Settings > Views , or Edit > Project Settings > Views , and click Set up views for stereo . You'll notice that the .mov in the bin or Node Graph is now marked with to denote multiple views. 3. Navigate to Window > Media or open the Read node's properties and disable First track only. 4. You can now switch between views using the buttons above the timeline or compositing Viewers.
Feature Enhancements:
Nuke, Nuke Studio, and Hiero's stereo scopes have been improved for usability. Stereo clips now only show a scope for the active view, left and right by default. If there are two stereo clips in the A/B input buffer, two scopes are displayed - one for each clip's active view.
NOTE: If a stereo display mode is active in the Timeline Viewer, this behavior can change. For example, activating Side by Side displays four scopes if there are two stereo clips in the A/B input buffer
BUG ID 44403/47711 - OCIO: The Use OCIO nodes when exporting in Nuke preference is now enabled by default when an OCIO config file is specified using the Preferences dialog or OCIO environment variable.
BUG ID 45155 - Tags added to frames in the Viewer are now displayed above the timeline on the frame slider.
BUG ID 48964 - BurnIn: The metadata dropdowns in the BurnIn node's properties now accept custom metadata key pairs added to track items as tags. Adding a tag, with a note, to a track item allows you to access the tag from the BurnIn controls, as follows: hiero/tags/*tagname*/note
BUG ID 49496 - Create Comp: The warning dialog displayed when creating comps from multi- view track items now includes a Do not warn again checkbox, allowing you to hide the warning for the rest of the current session.
BUG ID 50116 - Roto/RotoPaint: The keyboard shortcut to cycle through a selected tool's modes has been moved to S , providing that the Viewer has mouse- over focus and the Roto or RotoPaint properties are open.
BUG ID 50296 - Frame Server: Error handling and reporting when worker processes don't start has been improved.
BUG ID 50384 - Timeline: Nuke Studio's timeline error reporting has been improved, including error messages in the timeline Viewer, similar to the Comp Viewer, and soft effects in an error state highlighted in red

New in NukeX 9.0v4 (Feb 3, 2015)

New Features:
Support for reading the Sony RAW .mxf file format has been added.
Feature Enhancements:
PlanarTracker: You can now set a reference frame for relative CornerPin2D nodes exported from PlanarTracker on the CornerPin2D Tracking tab. The reference frame populates the from1-4 xy controls on the From tab in the properties.
The Appearance controls have been re-instated under Preferences > Panels, allowing you to customize the look of Nuke's interface.
Nuke Studio's Compositing and Timeline undo histories are now more robust, with improved segregation.
A new Timeline environment preference has been added under Preferences > Panels > Timeline > show frame end marker, which draws an extra line on the timeline to the right of the playhead, indicating the end of the current frame.
You can now set Preferences > Performance > Threads/Processes > Frame server processes to run to 0 (zero) so that Nuke only uses workers on external machines.
Alembic: A new preference, always load abc files as all-in-one, has been added under Behaviors > File Handling. When enabled, all nodes in an .abc file are automatically imported, with all alembic geometry nodes imported into a single ReadGeo node.
Issue Reporter: You can now specify where reports are written to by default using the FN_CRASH_DUMP_PATH environment variable.
Alembic: Importing cameras now runs a post-processing Euler filter to look for alternate sets of Euler angles that result in the same orientation, and chooses the set which most closely matches the angles from previous frames.
Bug Fixes:
Annotations:
The full range of tools in the toolbar were not displayed until you clicked on the Selection tool.

New in NukeX 9.0v1 (Nov 19, 2014)

Performance Updates:
"Just make it go faster". The most common request since we took over Nuke's development.
A lot of engineering has been dedicated to making performance boosts across the board. We have significantly increased overall performance in Nuke 9 compared to Nuke 8. For example, improved exrReader and Deep EXR, scene building and sampling in ScanlineRender, and mip-map filters have been added to ScanlineRender.
Nuke now includes R3D GPU debayering if you have CUDA 6.0, or higher, which can significantly reduce decode times for R3D clips read into the Node Graph. You can enable GPU debayering in the Read node's properties, under r3d options, by selecting use cuda if available.
BUG ID 45116 - Mac OS X only: A new global preference (Preferences > Hardware > enable Multi-GPU support) has been added for multi-GPU processing on Late-2013 Mac Pros running 10.9.3 'Mavericks', or later.
Kronos, VectorGenerator, and MotionBlur:
The Foundry's motion estimation algorithm has been improved, based on Ocula technology, resulting in improvements in vector generation, retiming, and motion blur:
Improved retime quality - less artefacts and smoother warp.
Improved image reconstruction, giving sharper images and less "pulsing" between sharp and blurry results as you move between the original frames.
A new Method dropdown allowing you to choose the interpolation method from Frame, Blend, and Motion.
Additional work includes:
New Resampling methods, including Lanczos4 and Lanczos6 for scaling.
New control over retime curves in the input time range, as well as improved range integration, combining to give you concise, intuitive control of your speed ramps.
Considerable effort has gone into making sure that renders processed on the GPU and CPU are 'same-same', meaning the output appears identical, and wherever possible, is identical bit-wise.
A new Channels dropdown has been added to the node properties, allowing you to retime on a sub-set of channels.
OFlow:
Nuke's OFlow node has benefitted from some of the improvement work done on Kronos and VectorGenerator:
New Resampling methods, including Lanczos4 and 6 for scaling.
New control over retime curves in the input time range, as well as improved range integration, combining to give you concise, intuitive control of your speed ramps.
Considerable effort has gone into making sure that renders processed on the GPU and CPU are 'same-same', meaning the output appears identical, and wherever possible, is identical bit-wise.
A new Channels dropdown has been added to the node properties, allowing you to retime on a sub-set of channels
Denoise:
The Denoise node is now available to use in Nuke, rather than NukeX only.
PlanarTracker:
PlanarTracker has been integrated into the Roto and RotoPaint nodes on a new Tracking tab, incorporating all the features of Roto and PlanarTracker. Additional work includes:
A pattern-matching algorithm.
A region tracking algorithm which works with featureless areas of footage.
A new luminance shift option for shots where luminance alters within the tracking region.
A CornerPin creation dropdown has been added to the Roto/RotoPaint Tracking tab in the properties panel.
New Image Format Support and QuickTime Improvements:
Nuke now includes a new mov64 reader and writer, in addition to the mov32 reader and writer from previous releases. You can choose which decoder/encoder to use in Nuke's Read and Write nodes properties:
mov32 - uses the full range of QuickTime codecs using the official QuickTime 32-bit SDK, but can be slow to process due to extra complexity during decode/encode.
mov64 - uses its own packing and unpacking and streams decode/encode for extra processing speed, but only supports a sub-set of offical QuickTime codecs.
Nuke is now an Apple Authorized ProRes third-party product and can read and write Apple ProRes 4444 and Apple ProRes 422 on Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows using the mov64 reader at SD, HD, 2K, and UHD resolutions. Apple
ProRes 422 includes the HQ, LT, and Proxy formats.
An mxfReader has been added for the following codecs:
Avid DNxHD (all 1080p and 720p formats, 4:4:4:4 and 4:2:2 )
Uncompressed (4:2:2 YCbCr and RGB).
AVCI and DV (AVCI 'unconstrained' variety are not currently supported).
ARRIRAW:
The ARRI SDK has been updated to version 4.5, which adds several .ari specific controls including lens squeeze and aspect ratio.
OCIO:
The OpenColorIO library version has been updated to 1.0.9.
Native Flipbook Tool:
Nuke now features a native Flipbook panel. Clicking the Flipbook this viewer button under the Compositing
Viewer now uses an internal real time flipbook Viewer by default.
ScanlineRender Mip-map Texture Filters:
ScanlineRender now includes several new mip-map filter options providing performance improvement when sampling from large textures. The new filters are listed below from fastest to most accurate:
Nearest
Bilinear
Trilinear
Anisotropic
Performance Timers:
Nuke's performance timers have been updated to give more accurate and detailed timing information on all platforms. When performance timing is enabled, timing information is displayed in the Node Graph, and the nodes
themselves are colored according to the proportion of the total processing time that was spent in each one, from green (fast nodes) through to red (slow nodes).
In addition, new python calls have been added to provide python access to timing information for individual nodes.
Alternatively, Nuke can now be run from the command line with the -Pf argument to obtain the full performance profile for a render in XML format. Performance profiling can help you to debug slow scripts and find out where the bottlenecks lie; this new feature was also used internally during the development of Nuke to help us target our performance work most effectively.
Node Improvements:
Backdrop nodes now have a Z Order control, allowing you to set the layering of Backdrops within other Backdrops. The Backdrop with the highest Z Order is placed at the front.
All Nuke nodes with a Node tab in their properties now include lifetime controls allowing you selectively enable and disable nodes according to frame range when use lifetime is enabled.
Miscellaneous:
The Text node now includes a Shadows tab, allowing you to add drop shadow to text in the Viewer, either as a soft effect or regular node in the Node Graph. Drop shadows incude color, softness (blur), and shrink/expand (dilate) controls.
The Text node's general performance has been improved, including enhanced caching.
The Merge node now allows you to merge metadata as well as image data from selected or all inputs using the metadata from dropdown.
Nuke's Read node now includes a Metadata tab showing all metadata associated with the file(s) read in.
BUG ID 43858 - Preferences: The Preferences dialog has been edited for clarity and accuracy.

New in NukeX 8.0v6 (Sep 16, 2014)

New in NukeX 8.0v5 (Sep 16, 2014)

New Features:
Roto Open Splines:
Roto and RotoPaint now have a new Open Spline tool in the shape toolset. The Open Spline tool lets you draw curves in a similar way to other shapes, except that they don't need to form a closed shape. Press Return or select a different tool to complete the spline without closing it, or close the spline by clicking on the first point created.
After creation, you can edit points on the splines using the standard smooth and transform handles, but they also have individual thickness and feather handles
Feature Enhancements:
BUG ID 20692 - Nuke's Read nodes now includes an edge pixels dropdown to determine how to handle the edges of .exr files. The default, plate detect, mimics Nuke's old behavior for backward compatibility.

Shape Blur - shape motion blur determines the exposure for each moving shape and blends the resulting blurred shapes. This may be more efficient than the global motion blur since each shape will only be blended once.
Feature Enhancements:
BUG ID 38456 - MatchGrade: Two new controls have been added to the MatchGrade properties to assist you when the Source and Target clips are different formats:
Align Target to Source - click to add a Reformat node and a Transform node upstream of the MatchGrade node to align the clips.
