New in Nuke 9.0v5 (Apr 15, 2015)

  • NEW FEATURES:
  • This release includes a new non-commercial version of Nuke that runs outside the regular licensing model. Nuke Non-commercial is free and designed for personal, educational, and other non-commercial use. It is aimed at students, industry professionals, and others interested in Nuke. It includes most of the features of the commercial version of Nuke, offering you a chance to explore and learn the application fully, while using it from the comfort of your own home.
  • You can run Nuke, NukeX, and Nuke Studio in non-commercial mode by clicking the appropriate application icon or by using the --nc command-line argument. For example, to launch Nuke Studio in non-commercial mode on Mac OS X, either:
  • Open Finder, navigate to /Applications/Nuke9.0v5, and then double-click the NukeStudio9.0v5 Non- commercial icon, or
  • Open Terminal and enter:
  • /Applications/Nuke9.0v5/Nuke9.0v5.app/Contents/MacOS/Nuke9.0v5 --nc --studio
  • Nuke Non-commercial is a fully functional version of Nuke, but as it's designed for non-commercial use only, it does differ from the commercial version in some aspects. Here are the main differences:
  • Certain nodes are disabled in Nuke Non-commercial, including BlinkScript, GenerateLUT, Primatte, Ultimatte, and WriteGeo.
  • Rendered output is restricted to 1920x1080 HD and the MPEG4 and H.264 formats are disabled. Command-line renders are restricted to encrypted .nknc scripts.
  • Frame Server slave rendering is disabled.
  • RELEASE NOTES FOR NUKE 9.0V5:

New in Nuke 7.0v9 (Sep 23, 2013)

  • New Features:
  • MergeMat:Anewalsomergedropdownhasbeenadded to the properties panel allowing you to merge additional channel sets.
  • Feature Enhancements:
  • DeepRead: You can now use custom file extensions for Deep .exr files in the same way as standard files.
  • For example, adding an odzReader.tcl file to your .nuke directory contain- ing the lines:
  • load "exrReader.so"
  • add_file_extension_alias "odz" "exr"
  • Allows Nuke to read .odz files using the .exr reader.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • SettingtheReformatnodetypetoscalecausedproxyto behave incorrectly.
  • MacOSXandWindowsonly:DraggingR3Dfilesfrom the OS file browser set the wrong gamma space curve.
  • RotoPaint:Itwasnotpossibletoexpressionlinkthe Transform tab center x and y values.

  • The output of a Merge node from inputs with identical bounding boxes increased the bounding box's size to 0 on the Y axis.
  • RotoPaint:MergingemptyRotoPaintnodeswithother images, when the Merge node’s set bbox to control was set to union, extended the bounding box to the format’s origin (0,0).
  • Particles:Changingtheparticleinputfromspriteto geometry, or vice versa, occasionally caused Nuke to crash.
