Cara VR for Nuke is here

With the new Cara VR toolset for Nuke, The Foundry is taking on the challenges of creating high-quality VR content.

Cara VR is a plug-in for Nuke that allows artists to create seamless 360° videos.

Cara VR comes with 4 core elements:

  • The stitching tools combine the properties of the different cameras, calculate their focal length as well as distortion and bring the different sequences together into one uninterrupted 360° view.
  • There are tools that create the colour balance of the different cameras and remove horizons to stabilise the footage.
  • The compositing workflow allows artists to work in a spherical space to place digital elements correctly in the real world.
  • A live review with the Oculus Rift headset is also possible to view the work directly from Nuke on the user platform.

Cara VR is available as a beta version. Anyone with a current Nuke licence or who downloads the 15-day trial version here can already try it out. Cara VR will be available in stores in the coming months.
