Mar 9, 2012 The Foundry Hiero Has Arrived

More : Updates/Upgrades · Hiero

The Foundry’s new shot management, conform and review tool for visual effects is now available.

A brand new pipeline in a box from The Foundry tackling shot management, conform and review for visual effects. HIERO 1.0 makes it easy to conform edit decision lists, parcel out VFX shots to NUKE and review multiple versions within the context of the edit. HIERO is the timeline NUKE has been waiting for, but also enables collaborative working with other editorial, VFX and finishing tools.

HIERO was built from the ground up to improve facility efficiency and shot throughput volume. Providing missing link functionality, HIERO lets you use your finishing systems for doing just that and removes complicated error prone manual processes from your workflow.

Sep 13, 2011 The Foundry Announces Hiero VFX Project Management Software

More : Nuke · Software · The Foundry · Visual Effects · Hiero · Nuke · vfx

The Foundry announced a new software that will soon be in Beta call Hiero.

HIERO is a desktop application for collaborative VFX workflow – a scriptable timeline tool that conforms edit decision lists and parcels out VFX shots to artists, allows progress to be viewed in context, and liberates your finishing systems and artists for more creative tasks.

HIERO has been built to work ‘out of the box’ with NUKE, and can also be custom-scripted to work with other applications in your facility.

Because HIERO is open and scriptable via the Python programming language, it is an editorial tool that fits naturally into any VFX pipeline.
