HIERO is a desktop application for the VFX workflow. The tool comes with a scriptable timeline and passes VFX shots on to the artists. Work progress can be reviewed in context – in short: a tool that gives artists more room for creativity, according to manufacturer The Foundry. Developed for working with Nuke, it can nevertheless be implemented in other, already existing workflows in a studio.
