The Foundry for Stereo

Immersing the audience

Stereo is now a critical component of many productions. Today’s audiences are very aware of quality, expecting stereoscopic imagery to be both thought out and finely tuned.

The Foundry has a strong understanding of stereo. NUKE has an inherent stereo workflow used extensively across both animation and live action projects, where directors continue to push creative boundaries. NUKE also has the tools you need to convert 2D to stereo-3D.

In addition, The Foundry’s OCULA toolset helps customers to solve common problems that are often encountered with live action stereo in post-production.
