London, July 1st, 2010 ‘ Leading visual effects software developer, The Foundry (www.thefoundry.co.uk), today announced that Global Visual Entertainment Services group, Prime Focus, has purchased a site license of Nuke to revamp their in-house pipeline.
Since its modest beginnings in Mumbai in 1997, Prime Focus has grown into the world’s leading Visual Entertainment Services group, employing over 1,200 staff across three continents and five timezones. Their pioneering and unique ‘Global Digital Pipeline’ approach has seen them win VFX work on titles including Robin Hood, Avatar and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, as well as numerous commercial and television projects.
“Nuke’s open infrastructure, forward thinking roadmap, support and proactive engineering team will enable true integration of the software into our ‘Global Digital Pipeline,'” said Anshul Doshi, Global COO at Prime Focus. “The inherent stereoscopic workflow and proven track record of use on Avatar increased Nuke’s attractiveness given our upcoming project slate.
