History

Nuke (the name deriving from 'new compositor')^[1] was originally developed by Bill Spitzak of Digital Domain for in-house use beginning in 1993. Nuke used the FLTK toolkit, which was developed in-house at Digital Domain and was subsequently released under the GNU LGPL in 1998.^[2]

Nuke won an Academy Award for Technical Achievement in 2001.^[3]

In 2002, Nuke was made available to the public for the first time under the banner of D2 Software.^[4][5] In December 2005, D2 Software released Nuke 4.5,^[6] which introduced a new 3D subsystem.

In 2007, The Foundry, a London-based plug-in development house, took over development and marketing of Nuke from D2.^[7] The Foundry released Nuke 4.7 in June 2007,^[8] and Nuke 5 was released in early 2008, which replaced the interface with Qt and added Python scripting, and support for a stereoscopic workflow.^[9] Nuke supports use of The Foundry plug-ins via its support for the OpenFX standard.
