At Stand 7.F28 at IBC, The Foundry will unveil a plethora of new product releases including Nuke 5.1 and Ocula, its stereo plug-in toolset. Simon Robinson, the company's chief scientist, will demonstrate Ocula as part of a presentation on 3D production and post at the IBC conference session 'Putting It All Together - New Dimensions For The Big Screen' on September 15 from 11:30am to 1pm.
With Nuke 5.1's new 64-bit capabilities come the options of Furnace, Keylight, Tinder and Tinderbox 1,2 & 3 plug-ins all in 64-bit too. Other key additions to this latest update of Nuke are a PLE, support of the FBX 3D interchange format, and an extended bicubic card providing greater control over shape. All Nuke purchasers at IBC will be rewarded with a free term with FXphd (www.fxphd.com), renowned providers of online training for VFX professionals.
The Foundry is also releasing its debut set of plug-ins for Apple Final Cut Pro. FCP 6 users will be able to purchase Keylight and Furnace, accessing Academy Award-winning motion estimation and keying technology for the very first time.
In support of this launch, The Foundry is sponsoring the first European FCP SuperMeet during IBC at The Culture Park Westergasfabriek on September 14.
