5/5
What do you like best about Nuke?

Best part of Nuke is it's Node based pipeline. Everything is in front of you what is been done next, what is needed and what is not needed is absolutely clear. Amazing tool for Compositing with having control on each and every channels and even tiny tweeks can be done while compositing. Amazing software for Live + CG compositing as it's very much comfortable with almost all 3 D softwares specially Maya. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nuke?

As Nuke is very detailed software it becomes difficult for new users to Understand and it is not as used friendly as After Effects for most of the new Students. But once you have hands on it it is the best software for Compositing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
