Release Notes for Ocula 4.0v3

 

 

Release Date

May 2017

Minimum System Requirements

• A version of Nuke 10.5 on:

• Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)

• Windows 7 64-bit or Windows 8 64-bit

• Linux CentOS/RHEL 5 or CentOS/RHEL 6

• Foundry Licensing Tools (FLT 7.0v2 or later) for floating licences.

Requirements for GPU Acceleration

To take advantage of GPU acceleration on Nuke 10.5, you must have, either:

• 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 4.2 or above.

• On Windows and Linux, CUDA graphics drivers are bundled with the regular drivers for your NVIDIA GPU. Drivers from April 2012 onward support CUDA 4.2.

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 for CUDA 4.2 is driver version 4.2.5 which can be downloaded from www.nvidia.com/drivers.

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

• an AMD FirePro GPU on late 2013 Mac Pro 6,1 and mid 2015 Mac Pro 11,5, running OS X 10.9.3 (Mavericks), or later (see below and the Blink API documentation for caveats on CPU/GPU result consistency on Mac Pros).

New Features and Enhancements

This release of Ocula is exclusively for Nuke 10.5 for all platforms. The functionality of all nodes remains the same as Ocula 4.0v2, which should still be used for older releases of Nuke.
