Foundry’s Nuke Stage adds native USD for virtual production
Foundry has released Nuke Stage, a virtual production application designed for end-to-end virtual production and in-camera VFX. The software features expanded 3D workflows and native USD compatibility, positioning it as a hardware-agnostic solution.
Key Takeaways
- Nuke Stage is aimed at end-to-end virtual production and in-camera VFX.
- The application adds expanded 3D workflows.
- Nuke Stage works natively with USD.
- Foundry describes the software as hardware-agnostic.
Why It Matters
Nuke Stage gives production teams a hardware-agnostic virtual production application with native USD support, which should make it easier to move assets through 3D workflows and in-camera VFX pipelines. That matters because USD compatibility is becoming a practical requirement for teams working across tools and stages of production. Foundry is positioning Nuke Stage around those workflows rather than a specific hardware stack. What to watch next: how Foundry details deployment, and whether it publishes examples of Nuke Stage used in actual virtual production or in-camera VFX work.
