当你制作复杂的合成图像时，关键是配置正确的工具，从而应用这些工具及其性能最佳的掌握工作中的特殊要求的。否则，你将被迫进行短片剪切来达成要求的效果。这样做的同时，要承担损害你的制作任务和声誉的风险。
正如环球制作公司轰动大片 Seuss 博士的 Grinch 怎样偷走圣诞节（ How The Grinch stole Christmas ）的合成总监，数码领域制作公司的 Bryan Gill 那样，它确保他和她的制作组配备了一整个NUKE一样性能丰富的工具，这些功能强大的工具足以应付工作总任何的挑战，这些工具中就包括NUKE视觉效果及合成系统。
据 Grill 表示 , 在 The Grinch 电影中 ，视觉效果总监 Kevin Mack, 视觉效果制作 Julian Levi ，CG 总监 Matthew Butler, 布景延展总监 Vernon Wilbert, 动画总监 Randall Rosa ， 和一组约 70 个视觉效果设计师和 27 个合成技师 负责共 356 个镜头。这些镜头中， 80% 涉及到复杂的蓝屏合成，而其中大部分的工作包括为电影中的两个主要场地 Whoville 和 Crumpit 山制作布景延展。
“在整个工作中这是最富挑战性的任务之一：为这些场地制作布景延展，并把它们合成到各自的场景中，” Grill 说，最重要的是使它们生活在同一个真实世界里。”
据 Grill 说，制作组使用最新版本的 NUKE 来掌控影片的这些合成工作， NUKE 是制作组在1994年首先开发的专业合成系统。据他解释说，NUKE 是强效合成器， 能够容易的掌控大批处理工作。“ NUKE 的强项在于它能够在多种处理器中运行。 在The Grinch 电影中，有时我们会同时在多达 75 个处理器中制作，”他说。
“如果你想要完成一份出色的工作，你就必须了解你的工具的长处，最好的是用他已取得最好的效果，”最后他总结说。“那样才是聪明的工作方法，而唯有这种方法能让你取得最好的结果。”

Nuke is a powerful compositing application that delivers unparalleled speed, an efficient multi-channel scanline rendering engine, and a first-class feature set that is unrivalled in the desktop market. If you are in the business of creating high-quality digital images Nuke is a production proven visual effects tool that brings speed, functionality and flexibility to your VFX pipeline.
Nuke began as the in-house compositing and effects application at Digital Domain, where its development team were awarded a Technical Achievement Award® from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science®. It is an application focused on solving real issues faced by post production facilities all over the world and has been tried and tested on over 45 feature films and hundreds of commercials and music videos, including Flags of our Fathers, King Kong and The Day After Tomorrow. In March 2007 Nuke 4.6 became part of The Foundry?s portfolio of visual effects products. In February 2008 Nuke 5 was released with an entirely new user interface, support for stereoscopic images and python scripting.

Features:

Nuke is a powerful compositing application designed to work for you?
3D Compositing Nuke's powerful 3D workspace supports OBJ import, projection mapping, geometry modifiers, and more. This true 3D environment creates powerful workflows and exciting new ways to approach compositing.

Stereoscopic Support

Nuke 5 has included support for working with stereoscopic and multi-view projects.

Multi-channel, high dynamic range compositing

Nuke delivers the industry's broadest support for EXR images. Read, process and write over a thousand channels per stream, improving data management and workflow.Keying Nuke?s exclusive Image Based Keyer (IBK) gives artists powerful tools for dealing with uneven backings. Primatte is built-in and Keylight is available as an optional extra.

Flexible User Interface

Savable layouts, dockable panels, GUI customization capabilities and features like the 'bullseye' and 'input' buttons make managing large, complex composites easier than ever.

Fast Rendering

Even when processing high resolution footage at 32-bit floating point precision on modest hardware, Nuke's multi-threaded, scanline-based rendering engine gives rapid feedback.

Scripting
Nuke offers an extremely open architecture. Both its node graph and user interface are accessible through the Python and TCL scripting languages, making it possible to customize Nuke in innumerable ways. If you really want to drill down, Nuke supports the industry standard OFX plug-in API as well as a native developers? kit (NDK) for creating your own tightly integrated plug-ins.

Plug-ins
All of The Foundry's OpenFX? (OFX) plug-ins are fully compatible with Nuke. Currently, the Keylight keyer, the Tinder collection (which includes lens flares, warpers, and lens blurs), and the Furnace collection (which includes motion vector retiming, wire removal, clean plate creation, grain, and texture tools) are available for OFX, with more collections added all the time.

Supported Operating Systems

Nuke is available on Windows®, Linux® and Mac OS X® platforms ? all at equal cost. Licenses float across operating systems, so every artist can work where they are most comfortable and creative.

A cost effective solution
Not only does Nuke run on relatively modest hardware it comes with an economical $3,500 / £1,750 price tag, so even on a fairly tight production budget you can gain access to a functional, fast and intuitive compositing solution.
