ILM has signed a deal with London-based VFX software makers The Foundry to add the compositing software Nuke to its in-house production pipeline.
Pat Tubach, ILM’s compositing department supervisor, says Nuke offers the facility many powerful features that keep up with its artists in creating complicated visual effects shots.
‘Nuke allows us to leverage our 3D pipeline while remaining in the compositing environment, which puts a great deal of power into the hands of the compositors,’ says Pat Tubach. ‘The remarkable speed at which Nuke operates means our artists can focus on the art of visual effects and not have their creativity impeded by a software speed limit.’
“ILM is a huge force in the world of visual effects and we are thrilled that they have chosen to add Nuke as a key tool in their compositing workflow,’ says Bill Collis, CEO of The Foundry.
