Foundry, the leading developer of creative software for the entertainment and digital design industries, made a splash recently with a raft of announcements at the summer edition of Foundry Live – their biggest online event of the year, which took place between 16-23 July 2020.
After the event 3D World spoke to Christy Anzelmo, Foundry’s director of product – compositing and finishing; Jordan Thistlewood, director of product – preproduction, lookdev and lighting; and Rory Woodford, Mari product manager to get a roundup of why you should be excited for what’s to come from the developer.
NUKE INDIE
Among the big announcements was the reveal of Nuke Indie, an accessible version of Nuke Studio for eligible solo artists. “Nuke Indie includes the industry-leading node-based compositing toolset of NukeX and the conform, editorial and review capabilities of Nuke Studio with a few functional limitations, making it the ultimate tool for solo artists wanting to create high-quality visual effects, at an accessible price of $499, £399, or $449 per year, ” says Anzelmo.
