  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

NUKE price drop

sweet! I've been seriously thinking about getting this software. Was it $5k before and now $3,500? I can't find any info on the Foundry website and the d2 website is no more....
 
I hope one day the perverted and obscene price tags of Inferno and Flame also will be "nuke'd". Autodesk generally has some twisted pricing scemes...
I didn't like the GUI of nuke, hope they'll improve, besides that I've only heard good things on that app.
 
Where is the info on the price drop? I don't see anything on the linked page. And I don't know that I would call that adding lots of new features. Looks more like a bug fix release.

Edit:
Looks like the price drop is to $3500 and $1000 for an annual maintenance for the GUI.

$250 and $150 respectively for a render node and maintenance.
 
I thought Nuke was a fantastic product in my published review of Nuke 4.5 in the July 2006 issue of 3D World and well... it still is!

4.7 actually is quite a hefty upgrade. Lots of bug fixes but also an entirely new optical flow engine, presumably stolen (borrowed) from the recently rewritten optical flow engine which powers most of the Furnace plug-ins. In addition you'll get the upgraded FrameCycler Professional 2007, updated curve editor, and a host of bug fixes.

Not too shabby for a free update.

I really do dislike the UI though, I didn't like it in 4.5 and 4.7 has only improved marginally. The Foundry has told me that a UI overhaul is at the top of their list and presumably in the works now. Trick is, you dont want to upset your current user base by changing everything up on them but I think if Nuke really wants to go more mainstream it will need that overhaul. I wouldn't expect to see it until the next full version, 5.0

What makes Nuke really good is the simple GUI, it's fast and not bloated with unnecessary bevels and shadows because you should not be looking at the gui but at the image you're creating. The simple GUI keeps a low memory profile which allows you to keep the GUI overhead low and max out your memory for the pixel that matter.
