Uncover a new rendering architecture for Nuke that renders the graph node by node from the top of the graph down rather than scanline-by-scanline on demand. This allows Nuke to cache its data more efficiently and reduces thread synchronization issues for faster rendering, with an average improvement of 20% and some scripts performing 150% faster. With Top-down rendering, we’re reducing the time users have to wait for heavy or complex scripts, so artists can experience faster updates and interactions.
