History
[edit]Nuke (the name deriving from 'New compositor')[10]was originally developed by software engineer Phil Beffrey and later Bill Spitzak for in-house use atDigital Domainbeginning in 1993. In addition to standard compositing, Nuke was used to render higher-resolution versions of composites fromAutodesk Flame.[11]
Nuke version 2 introduced a GUI in 1994, built withFLTK– an in-house GUI toolkit developed at Digital Domain. FLTK was subsequently released under theGNU LGPLin 1998.[12]
Nuke won anAcademy Awardfor Technical Achievement in 2001.[13]
In 2002, Nuke was publicly released by D2 Software.[14][15]In 2005, Nuke 4.5[16]introduced a new 3D subsystem developed byJonathan Egstad.[17]
In 2007, The Foundry, aLondon-based plug-in development company, took over development and marketing of Nuke from D2.[18]The Foundry released Nuke 4.7 in June 2007,[19]and Nuke 5 was released in early 2008, which replaced the interface withQtand addedPythonscripting, and support for astereoscopicworkflow.[20]In 2015, The Foundry released Nuke Non-commercial with some basic limitations.[21]Nuke supports use of The Foundry plug-ins via its support for theOpenFXstandard (several built-in nodes such as Keylight are OpenFX plugins).
