All New Nuke Assist & NukeX Upgrade Promo

The Foundry today announced that NUKEX 7.0v6 – complete with the brand new Assist tool for NUKEX – is now in beta.

What is Assist for NUKEX?
NUKEX’s Assist tool allows the common tasks of paint, roto, 2D tracking and planar tracking to be shared with a wider group of artists at no additional cost.

Available as two additional licences for every (full) NUKEX licence with valid maintenance, NUKEX’s Assist feature gives artists access to a select set of NUKE nodes to perform the common tasks of paint, roto, 2D tracking and planar tracking and comes completely free to NUKEX customers on valid maintenance.

To break this down, you basically get two limited feature NUKE licenses that allow for only the Paint, Roto, 2D Tracking and Planar Tracking nodes so artists that will only be using these tasks can have access to them for free.

How to do I get my hands on Assist for NUKEX?
If you’re a NUKEX owner with valid maintenance you will have received a email from The Foundry with instructions on how to get hold of your Assist licences and the NUKEX 7.0v6 beta.

If you’re a NUKEX customer but are worried your maintenance may have lapsed, please Contact Us to renew and get your hands on the beta and Assist licences.

If you’re a NUKE customer, take advantage of our NUKEX Upgrade Promotion! Check out the details below…

NUKEX Upgrade Promotion

If you’re a NUKE customer upgrade to NUKEX before the 8th April and save 30%* off the upgrade price AND get your hands on the NUKEX 7.0v6 beta with Assist licences. Contact Us to upgrade.

*Discount excludes maintenance upgrade which will be co-termed based on your current maintenance contract. Upgrade offer only available on NUKE seats purchased before 18th March 2013.
