London - Visual effects software developer The
Foundry announced that C.O.R.E. Digital
Pictures, the award-winning Toronto-based digital visual effects and
animation company, has chosen to upgrade its entire VFX pipeline with
Nuke and Furnace. The implementation will give all C.O.R.E. Digital
Pictures’ digital artists access to a consistent set of compositing and
image-processing tools.
The Foundry’s tools will replace the current systems of C.O.R.E.
Digital Pictures’ Visual Effects, Toons, and Feature Animation
divisions, to create an integrated and flexible pipeline that will take
its multidisciplinary CG production to new levels, says a
representative.
C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures is an award-winning
VFX, cartoon, and feature animation studio, which has produced
cutting-edge effects and animation on films such as X-Men, Blade II, and Disney’s The Wild. Television projects include Showtimes’ The Tudors and animation series Franny’s Feet, Angela Anaconda, and Chops Socky Chooks.
"To
compete successfully in today’s global CG production industry, you must
be able to deliver results with ever-greater speed and efficiency
without compromising quality,” says Jordan Thistlewood of C.O.R.E.
Digital Pictures. “Our multidisciplinary business model requires us to
be much more efficient than our competitors who only handle one market
segment. The Foundry’s cutting-edge tools will form a critical part of
our next wave of efficiencies moving forward."
