ILM PURCHASES NUKE LICENSE

ILM has produced visual effects for nearly 300 films, including Star Wars, Iron Man, Transformers, the Indiana Jones series, the Harry Potter series, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and the Jurassic Park films. The studio has been recognized with fifteen Oscars.

“We believe Nuke is a forerunner in the compositing field,” says Lucasfilm’s (www.lucasfilm.com) CTO Richard Kerris. “The Foundry’s investment in research and development and its customer-focused approach have produced a flexible, artist-focused toolset. We are excited to work with The Foundry and to see where these new possibilities will take our work.”
