Foundry adds USD, Gaussian Splats to Nuke Stage
Foundry has expanded its Nuke Stage software with new features for virtual production and in-camera VFX (ICVFX) using LED walls. The update includes support for NotchLC, Gaussian Splats, and USD scene workflows, alongside a metadata Vault, designed for operation on standard hardware.
Key Takeaways
- Nuke Stage now supports NotchLC in virtual production and ICVFX workflows.
- The update adds Gaussian Splats and USD scene workflows.
- Foundry included a metadata Vault in the Nuke Stage expansion.
- The software is designed to run on standard hardware, not specialized systems.
Why It Matters
Foundry is broadening Nuke Stage’s workflow coverage for LED wall productions by adding file, scene, and metadata support in one update. That matters because virtual production teams need tools that can handle more asset types without moving off standard hardware. The relevant ecosystem signal is the mix of NotchLC, Gaussian Splats, USD scene workflows, and a metadata Vault in a single release, which points to where production software is being tuned. Watch for how Foundry positions the new support in actual LED-wall deployments.
