Bill Collis, CEO, The Foundry, said,"We are delighted to welcome Soho VFX into the Nuke family. We spent a lot of time working closely with Soho VFX to ensure that Nuke was going to fit nicely into their current pipeline. It is a big decision to change a business' complete pipeline over to a new product, no matter what it is. There are many areas the tools and companies need to ensure line up and we were very pleased to have been involved from the outset."Allan Magled, CEO, Soho VFX, said,"Soho VFX, like many facilities today, has spent years building a scalable workflow to satisfy the growing demands of the visual effects industry. This is not a simple task.

Ideally we need to ensure that the compositing tools that we use are fast, reliable, extremely customizable and that they enable us to push the boundaries of creativity. Most importantly they need to run on a variety of hardware platforms and work seamlessly with a multitude of other applications that are used across our facilities daily.

Our Nuke evaluation was quite lengthy. We looked very closely at render and desktop performance over several iterations of the product. Integration into our current environment from both a developers and 2D Artist's standpoint was very important to us and, as such, we spent a lot of time looking at scripting and internal development tools in Nuke as well as ease of use in transitioning from our previous compositing application. Lastly we took a strong look at the development history and future road map of Nuke to ensure its direction matched our own.

In doing so we have found Nuke to be a polished compositing suite with a long and bright future."
