V-Ray for NUKE – ready to launch

What is V-Ray for NUKE?

V-Ray for NUKE's new approach to lighting and compositing integrates production-quality ray traced rendering into NUKE and NUKEX.

Who will use V-Ray for NUKE?

V-Ray for NUKE helps compositors and studios be more efficient and have more creative control. Taking advantage of V-Ray's lighting, shading, and rendering tools inside of NUKE's node-based workflow will make it easier to finish shots faster.

Why should compositors use V-Ray for NUKE?

For compositors V-Ray for NUKE –

   • Expands the 3d capabilities of NUKE, so compositors can light, render, and composite in one application.
   • Gives compositors better control over lighting, materials, render passes, and final shot output.
   • Lets compositors create any render element (render pass, matte, etc.) they need on the fly.
   • Allows compositors to adjust and match 2d and 3d elements simultaneously.
   • Gives compositors more creative freedom and artistic control.
   • Offers a familiar node-based workflow, making it easier to adopt.

Why should studios use V-Ray for NUKE?

For studios V-Ray for NUKE –

   • Saves time and eliminates the back and forth between NUKE and 3d applications.
   • Maximizes project timelines by allowing compositors to make necessary changes up until final delivery.
   • Allows for a more collaborative, non-linear workflow between 3d and compositing teams.
   • Helps teams review, change, and final shots faster.
