Hi people! We need to choose a compositing app for Windows. Some years ago, everybody was saying Nuke is the best compositing app. Is it still the case today? Thanks, David -- Softimage Mailing List. To unsubscribe, send a mail to softimage-requ...@listproc.autodesk.com with "unsubscribe" in

Nuke is the most used, and it's not hard to find freelancers for it. It became the industry 'standard' at some point. But depending on your budget, I would have a look at Fusion as well. Both apps have their strengths and weaknesses I guess. Rob \/-\/\/ On 26-5-2016
