The appearance and threshold for triggering the bounding box and channel warnings can be set in the preferences. Channel count is now displayed in the status bar, and a warning is triggered when the 1024-channel limit is exceeded. A visual indication identifies nodes that increase bounding box size to be greater than the image, helping artists to identify the state of the bounding box at a glance. New UI indications for changes in bounding box size and channel count help artists troubleshoot their scripts. Support for full-resolution stereo on monitor out makes review sessions even easier, and a new export preset helps with rendering of stereo projects. The updated export structure can also be used to create multiple-view Nuke scripts from the timeline in Nuke Studio and Hiero. Artists can now use the same multiple-file stereo workflows that exist in Nuke on the Nuke Studio, Hiero and HieroPlayer timeline. New Timeline Multiview support provides an extension to stereo and VR workflows. The particle system in NukeX has been optimized to produce particle simulations up to six times faster than previous versions of the software, and up to four times faster for playback, allowing for faster iteration when setting up particle systems. These updates make Live Groups easier for larger pipelines to integrate and give artists more visibility over the state of the Live Group and flexibility when using user knobs to override values within a Live Group. It introduces new functionality along with corresponding Python callbacks and UI notifications that will allow for greater collaboration and offer more control.

Nuke 11.3 lands with major enhancements to its Live Groups feature. The release is the fourth update to the Nuke 11 Series and is designed to improve the user experience and to speed up heavy processing tasks for pipelines and individual users. Foundry has launched Nuke 11.3, introducing new features and updates to the company’s family of compositing and review tools.
