Requirements for Hiero'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 3.0 (Kepler) or above. A list of the compute capabilities of NVIDIA GPUs is available at https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus

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 10.1 or above. On Windows and Linux, CUDA graphics drivers are bundled with the regular drivers for your NVIDIA GPU. Driver versions 418.96 (Windows) and 418.39 (Linux), or above are required. See https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx for more information.

Note: We recommend using the latest graphics drivers, where possible, regardless of operating system.

AMD

Note: Bit-wise equality between GPU and CPU holds in most cases, but for some operations there are limitations to the accuracy possible with this configuration.

• On Windows and Linux, an AMD GPU from the following list:

Note: Other AMD GPUs may work, but have not been fully tested.

• Radeon™ RX 480

• Radeon™ Pro WX 7100

• Radeon™ Pro WX 9100

• Radeon™ Pro SSG

• Radeon™ Pro WX 8200

Note: For information on the recommended driver for each GPU, see https://www.amd.com/en/support

• On Mac, AMD GPUs are supported on any late 2013 Mac Pro, mid 2015 MacBook Pros onward, and late 2017 iMac Pros.

Warning: Although AMD GPUs are enabled on other Mac models, they are not officially supported and used at your own risk.

Multi-GPU Processing

Hiero'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 Radeon™ Pro WX 9100s.

New Features

CaraVR in NukeX

The majority of CaraVR’s nodes have been integrated into NukeX, giving you access to tools for VR and stereo workflows and improvements to traditional 2D workflows.

• C_Solver and C_Stitcher improve results for non-traditional camera setups and can help remove artifacts on different types of footage. Multiple camera setups become a lot easier to manage with CaraVR’s tools, allowing you to toggle between custom camera setups and solve to generate a single image.

• C_CameraIngest enables you to work with cameras in Nuke's 3D space to easily match your rig and camera offsets.

• C_SphericalTransform offers a more varied toolkit than Nuke's own SphericalTransform node with GPU accelerated results.

• C_STMap node provides more options for artists working with STMaps, including GPU acceleration for quicker results and the ability to read position passes generated by C_GenerateMap to help reduce artifacts in extreme cases.

• C_DisparityGenerator creates disparity maps for stereo images. C_DisparityGenerator differs from the Ocula version in that it can also map in latlong space, meaning disparity vectors are mapped as they pass the edge of the frame when the image wraps around.

DNxHR

Nuke now reads Avid DNxHR footage encoded with the following compression levels in the .mxf container format:

• DNxHR LB - Low Bandwidth (8-bit 4:2:2) Offline Quality

• DNxHR SQ - Standard Quality (8-bit 4:2:2) (suitable for delivery format)

• DNxHR HQ - High Quality (8-bit 4:2:2)

• DNxHR HQX - High Quality (12-bit 4:2:2) (UHD/4K Broadcast-quality delivery)

• DNxHR 444 - Finishing Quality (12-bit 4:4:4) (Cinema-quality delivery)

EdgeExtend

EdgeExtend uses in-painting to provide a GPU accelerated way to approximate correct, unpremultiplied foreground colors in the soft boundary regions of keyed and roto’d objects. The node Properties allow you to erode and dilate the sample region and includes the ability to recover the original high-frequency detail and noise.

Inpaint

The Inpaint node provides smooth GPU accelerated in-painting, which can be used for fast marker removal, beauty work, and object replacement.

The Stretch controls allow you to bias the in-painting in a defined direction and the Detail controls allow the cloning of high-frequency textures from another part of the source, or even a different image.

GridWarpTracker

GridWarpTracker builds on Nuke’s original GridWarp node with an improved, user-friendly interface. If you have a NukeX license, you can track your grids using the optional SmartVector input and add animated Adjustment Grids to refine the results of the warp.

Using a combination of the Adjustment Grids and GridWarpTracker’s new ability to quickly link the From and To grids, you can easily create a tracked warp.

Interaction Performance Improvements

We have overhauled the way that Nuke redraws its UI to improve performance at scale. Previously, as a script’s node count passed 1000 nodes, the framerate of the UI would begin to drop, causing Nuke’s UI to feel unresponsive. We now expect the UI frame rate to be approximately 30 fps with node counts well above 10000, maintaining interactivity and responsiveness for large scripts.

Monitor Output SDK Updates

We have updated our monitor out plug-ins to support the latest AJA and BlackMagic SDKs. AJA now supports 15.0.1 drivers, or later, and BlackMagic now supports 10.11.4, or later.

OCIO Roles

OCIO roles allow you to set custom role names for different colorspaces to make it easier for artists to instinctively know which LUT to use for any given piece of footage. For instance, if an element is coming from your matte painting department and should always be brought into Nuke as sRGB, you can create a matte painting role, which is associated with the sRGB colorspace for your artist to select.

This feature introduces a new colorspace knob that makes OCIO roles the primary method for selecting colorspaces. All of the colorspaces in the OCIO config file are still accessible, but they have been grouped together into a colorspaces menu beneath the roles. OCIO roles are set up within your config file. Have a look at the aces 1.1 config.ocio file shipped with Nuke for some examples:

<install_dir>/plugins/OCIOConfigs/configs/aces_1.1/config.ocio

Error handling has also been improved, so that when artists switch between shows, there is no mishandling of the roles and LUTs available.

OpenEXR Optimization

OpenEXR has been upgraded to version 2.3 and is compiled with SSE4 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 4) to take advantage of certain OpenEXR optimizations. In addition, Nuke's ExrReader memory management and image initialization has been optimized.

Playback Performance Improvements

The new playback improvements are aimed at supporting higher resolutions, higher frame rates, and consistency in the playback engine.

RED SDK

The R3D SDK has been updated as part of the VFX Platform 2019 work. The new library version is R3D 7.1.0.

Note: Nuke does not currently support GPU accelerated decoding and debayering of .r3d files on NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability 3.x (Kepler), due to a known issue in the R3D SDK. A list of the compute capabilities of NVIDIA GPUs is available at: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus

Sony OpenCL Support

Sony footage processing on OpenCL-enabled GPUs has been improved.

Sony SDK 3.3

Sony support has been upgraded to version 3.3, supporting v4 of the VENICE camera and introducing X-OCN XT.

VFX Platform 2019 Compliance

This is a significant update to Nuke's core libraries and numerous third-party libraries, with the aim to provide a common target platform for building software for the VFX industry. For more information on the library versions shipped with Nuke 12, see Third-Party Libraries.

Viewer Soft Selection

A new Soft Selection mode has been added to Nuke's 3D Viewer. When you select a vertices or faces in the Viewer, the new mode makes additional selections according to a Falloff Radius and Falloff Curve in the Viewer's node Properties > 3D tab under Soft Selection.

Feature Enhancements

DeepMerge

The DeepHoldout node has been combined with the DeepMerge node to avoid duplication of controls. Enabling the new volumetric holdout control allows you to remove only the volume of depth specified by the holdout, leaving any 'deeper' samples unaffected.

Expressions

Cloned nodes containing knob expressions or knob links no longer draw connecting arrows to the originating node or nodes. For clarity, only the clone link is drawn in the Node Graph.

ParticleEmitter

• ParticleEmitter now uses the correct frame range of its inputs for emitted geometry particles, rather than using the default geometry frame range of 1-1 and ignoring any animation in the texture applied to the geometry.
To update legacy scripts to run with the new ParticleEmitter, add a FrameRange node after the geometry to set its frame range correctly. For example, if you have an clip with frame range 1-50 used as a particle input and wanted to change this to a Card textured with the same clip, you need to add a FrameRange node with range 1-50 after the Card node, because geometry has its own frame range and doesn't inherit the frame range from its texture(s).

• The random numbers generated by ParticleEmitter have changed to make them more stable for use in downstream nodes.

• Particle rotation velocity has been corrected so that it rotates around the initial velocity vector.

New Known Issues Specific to Nuke 12.0v1

This section covers new known issues and gives workarounds for them, where appropriate.

Note: NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability of 3.0 (Kepler) cannot process .r3d files due to a known issue in the R3D SDK preventing decoding and debayering. Nuke defaults to CPU processing when reading .r3d files with these cards installed. A list of the compute capabilities of NVIDIA GPUs is available at: www.nvidia.co.uk/object/cuda_gpus_uk.html

Developer Notes

Here are the changes relevant to developers. See Help > Documentation from the Nuke menu bar or https://learn.foundry.com/nuke/developers/120/ndkdevguide/appendixc/index.html for more information.

As Nuke develops, we sometimes have to make changes to the application programming interface (API) and application binary interface (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 plug-ins and/or make changes to the source code.

Release Type	Example	Compatibility
Version	11.2v1 to 11.2v2	API and ABI
Point	11.1v1 to 11.2v1	API
Major	11.0v1 to 12.0v1	-

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")
