Mr. Flynn?
@scott_squires @VFXSoldier no VFX facility makes money. Maybe, it’s time we realise we’re all on same boat no matter where you operate from.
Cineon has, Nuke lacks: usable graphic clip management, ‘filmroll’ app for managing and viewing material, a ‘make it not suck’ node.
Ok, Cineon had, Nuke lacks: comprehensible proxy working strategy, disk caching of proxies, colour management, playback vrsions, fast median
Cineon had, Nuke lacks: better spline handles, drawable roto splines, a better tracker, hardware realtime transform preview, better grain
I think Yugandhar is right. So far in the last 16 months or so I have watched a small VFX company grow. I do not believe anyone is going to become millionaires. But all of us love what we do. We love making stuff. We are problem solvers and love the challenge.
Paddy has good points. The grain in Nuke isn’t great. The tracker as it is now. Not that great(Nuke 7 might change that). There are other options but you should be able to match your own grain without F-Re-Grain. It’s like cooking rice, if you can’t your not a chef. He is also right the Median is nuke is really slow. Setting down to 2 speeds it up but sometimes that’s not going to work.
Paddys references to Cineon. A compositor i have known for many years had a Octane under his desk for exactly those reasons. He hated the tracker in Shake. I wonder if he can stand it in Nuke.
