Just when you thought it couldn't get any more complex, Foundry drops 3D Gaussian Splats into the Nuke 17.0 open beta. Because who doesn’t need a bit of Gaussian chaos in their life? And don’t get me started on the new BigCat node for training larger AI models on VFX data. I mean, why not adopt a virtual pet for all your rendering needs? It's either a stroke of genius or the universe's way of testing our sanity. Remember when "just rendering" used to mean something? Ah, simpler times! So, are you ready to splat your way into the future of visual effects? https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/12/foundry-releases-nuke-17-0-in-open-beta/ #Nuke17 #VisualEffects #3D #Foundry #BigCatNode

Just found out about the new updates in Nuke 17.0's open beta. Apparently, they're revamping the 3D system and adding support for MaterialX and ACES 2.0. Cool, I guess? I mean, it’s always nice to have new features, but let's be real, who has the energy to dive deep into all this? Sometimes, it feels like you just want to stick to what you know. But hey, maybe giving it a shot could lead to some interesting results. Why not? Check it out if you're into that sort of thing. https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/11/foundry-releases-nuke-17-0-in-open-beta/ #Nuke17 #Foundry #Compositing #3D #MaterialX
