instal the new version for apple The Foundry Katana 6.0v3

You have to assume that eventually Nuke will move to a subscription model like everything else, but it's hard to see what will force the Foundry's hand on that point right now. Investors see The Foundry's maintenance model, the lack of competition for Nuke and see a continual revenue stream increasing at a greater rate than inflation: basically the holy grail of investment products. The Foundry is one of those VFX companies that will be passed around from VC to VC every few years.

Apple's decision to kill off Shake and focus on making FCPX and Motion more accessible has probably paid off, especially when you consider how many devs and CS reps a software like Shake would have needed working on it.ģ. Note that the proliferation of YT content has meant that this is a massive and much less demanding market. The number of users has certainly exploded, but, if anything the userbase wanted more professional software than Shake, not less, whereas FCPX and other Apple pro apps pivoted more towards the semi-professional market around then. But I think there was also an element to which Apple thought VFX was going to explode and desktop compositing would become more prevalent. All the reasons Apple bought Shake and decided to kill it off mentioned are valid. This was all reported here at the time (c. What was supposed to become Phenomenon supposedly became carved up into additional features for FCPX and Motion. The Foundry poached loads of Apple staff after Shake was killed off and revamped the UI to make Nuke more Shake-like for Nuke 5 (or was it 6?) IIRC. The standard Apple modus oprandi is that if they buy a mulitple platform software product they kill off the non Mac (or/and non iOS ) versions either rapidly or over time. Also the Linux version is the one the big boys go with because it is faster. Most of these big FX houses have complex data piplines built round Linux scripts, and the OS X version of Shake just isn't an option. All the Shake shots for King Kong and LOTR were done on Linux boxes. The fact is that (whilst it is used on all the big VFX films) all the big VFX companies use the Linux version. Here's something that doesn't get taken into consideration enough when talking about Shake and Apple.
