Foundry Nuke: Professional-Grade Compositing Tool for Filmmakers
Foundry Nuke is widely used in the visual effects industry as a tool for digital compositing, multi-layered effects and post-production work. Known for its node based workflow system Nuke provides flexibility and control over complex visual effects projects. It remains the choice for top VFX studios worldwide empowering artists to create stunning effects for various media platforms like movies, TV series and advertisements.
How to Choose the Workstation Specs
Processor
Processing workloads within Nuke is largely single-threaded, so clock speed wins over overall core-count, making Intel’s Core i7 and i9 processors, as well as AMD’s Ryzen 7 and 9 processors ideal for this application. Workflows that require a large pool of system memory (RAM) may necessitate moving up to HEDT, such as AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper platform.
Graphics Card
Much like Cinema 4D, the performance of the graphics card installed in a Nuke workstation dictates the framerate that the viewport is able to run at. Complex animations with high polygon counts will require a more powerful GPU, with a significant amount of VRAM. We recommend both Nvidia’s GeForce RTX, as well as AMD’s Radeon cards for this application.
Memory
Similar to Adobe After Effects, Nuke can consume a lot of system memory when rendering out a project. We recommend a minimum of 128GB, which is achievable on Intel and AMD’s mainstream desktop platforms, but advanced users may need to look towards AMD’s Threadripper platform which will allow for 256GB+ of RAM.
