Search TipsRelease Notes for Nuke and Hiero 11.0v2
Release Date
31 August 2017
Qualified Operating Systems
• Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11) or macOS Sierra (10.12)
• Windows 7 or Windows 10 (64-bit)
• CentOS 6 or CentOS 7 (64-bit)
Note: If you intend to use floating licenses with Hiero 11, you'll need to upgrade the version of RLM used in the Foundry Licensing Tools (FLT) on your server. See Foundry Knowledge Base article Q100320 for information.
Other operating systems may work, but have not been fully tested.
Requirements for Nuke's GPU Acceleration
If you want to enable Nuke to calculate certain nodes using the GPU, there are some additional requirements.
NVIDIA
An NVIDIA GPU with compute capability 2.0 (Fermi) or above. A list of the compute capabilities of NVIDIA GPUs is available at www.nvidia.co.uk/object/cuda_gpus_uk.html.
Note: The compute capability is a property of the GPU hardware and can't be altered by a software update.
With graphics drivers capable of running CUDA 8.0 & 6.5 or above.
• On Windows and Linux, CUDA graphics drivers are bundled with the regular drivers for your NVIDIA GPU. Driver version r361 or above is required.
Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us for more information.
• On Mac, the CUDA driver is separate from the NVIDIA graphics driver and must be installed, if you don't have it already. The minimum requirement is driver version r361 which can be downloaded from www.nvidia.com/drivers.
Note: We recommend using the latest graphics drivers, where possible, regardless of operating system.
AMD
• On Windows and Linux, an AMD GPU and driver from the following list:
|
Windows GPU |
Driver |
Linux GPU |
Driver |
|---|---|---|---|

AMD FirePro W8100 |

Note: Other AMD GPUs may work, but have not been fully tested.
• On Mac an AMD FirePro GPU on late 2013 Mac Pro 6,1, mid 2015 MacBook Pro 11,5, and late 2016 MacBook Pro 13,3, running OS X 10.9.3 'Mavericks', or later.
Multi-GPU Processing
Nuke's GPU support includes an Enable multi-GPU support option. When enabled in the preferences, GPU processing is shared between the available GPUs for extra processing speed.
Note: Multi-GPU processing is only available for identical GPUs in the same machine. For example, two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080s or two AMD FirePro W9100s.

Bug Fixes
• ID 146580 - Timeline: The RAM cache (white bar) was cleared when the Viewer gamma or gain controls were adjusted.

• ID 229571 - Read: Attempting to read large, compressed .mov files caused Hiero to crash.

Developer Notes
Here are the changes relevant to developers. See Help > Documentation from the Hiero menu bar or www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/nuke/developers/110/ndkdevguide/appendixc/index.html for more information.
As Nuke develops, we sometimes have to make changes to the API and ABI under the hood. We try to keep these changes to a minimum and only for certain releases, but from time to time API and ABI compatibility is not guaranteed. See the following table for the situations when you may have to recompile your plugins and/or make changes to the source code.

Additionally, node Class() names occasionally change between major releases. While these changes do not affect legacy scripts, you may not get the results you were expecting if a node class has been modified. The toolbars.py file, used to create Nuke's node toolbar, contains all the current node class names and is located in <install_directory>/plugins/nukescripts/ for reference.
As an example, between Nuke 9 and Nuke 10, the CameraShake node Class() changed from CameraShake2 to CameraShake3. In the toolbars.py file for the two releases, the entries for the CameraShake node appear as follows:
m.addCommand("CameraShake", "nuke.createNode(\"CameraShake2\")", icon="CameraShake.png")
m.addCommand("CameraShake", "nuke.createNode(\"CameraShake3\")", icon="CameraShake.png")

Bug Fixes
• ID 286759 - Mac OS X/macOS only: The mov64 example in the NDK documentation did not build using Clang.
• ID 287055 - VFX Platform: Nuke prompted customers incorrectly that Visual Studio 2010 was required for plug-ins, rather than Visual Studio 2015.
