Plugin pack for Nuke

AI tracking, masking and simulations inside Nuke.

One install, more than 50 nodes: AI trackers and a scene solver, mattes from a click, depth and normals from any plate, GPU fire, smoke, blood and lightning, and the comp tools around them.

7 days free, every tool, no sign-up. Windows 10 and 11, Nuke 12 to 16, an NVIDIA RTX graphics card.

What's inside

Everything in one pack

The tools sit in Nuke's node menu under Nodes > ANR, in eight folders.

Trackers

Points, planes and pixels followed by AI models, a scene solver for camera and geometry, and tools to turn tracks into cards, cameras and transforms.

  • AI Point Tracker
  • AI Planar Tracker
  • AI Vector Tracker
  • Scene Solver
  • STMap Tracker
  • STMap
  • Convert tools

Masking

Mattes from a click or a word, carried through the shot, with hair and edge detail refined and brought back.

  • Matte Creator
  • AI Matte Propagator
  • AI Matte Perfector
  • Edge Detail Extension

Utility

Depth and normals made from any plate, and the depth and normal tools that put them to work in a comp.

  • Depth and Normal Creator
  • Depth tools
  • Normals tools

Simulations

GPU fluid fire, smoke and explosions, a scene fire around your plate, muzzle flashes, clouds, sparks, blood and lightning, rendered in Nuke.

  • Fire and smoke
  • Explosions
  • Scene fire
  • Muzzle flash
  • Clouds
  • Sparks
  • Blood
  • Lightning

Comp

Match a foreground's light and blacks to the plate, and light elements from fire and lightning footage.

  • Light Match
  • Black Match
  • Interactive Light

Transform

Natural camera shake in a node, fast, with motion blur that follows the movement.

  • Camera Shake

Creative

Twenty-eight effects for looks, texture and stylisation.

  • 28 creative effects

Essential

An AI upscaler that also matches the plate, a live link to Photoshop, GPT in Nuke, and the licence node.

  • AI Upscaler
  • Photoshop Link
  • GPT Connection
  • ANR License
Built for real shots

The hard parts of a comp, done in a node

Tracks that hold

AI models follow what a pattern tracker loses: motion blur, occlusion, changing light.

  • Point, planar and vector tracking
  • Scene Solver: the camera and the scene from the plate
  • Tracks to cards, transforms and cameras in one click

Mattes in minutes

Click on what you want, or name it, and let the matte follow it through the shot.

  • Selection by click or by word (SAM 3)
  • Carried through the shot by the AI Matte Propagator
  • Hair and edges refined, fine detail brought back

Depth and normals from any plate

No 3D pass needed: the Depth and Normal Creator makes both from the footage itself.

  • Depth and normals in one node
  • Depth and normal tools for the comp
  • Interactive Light uses them to light a plate from fire and lightning footage

Simulations without leaving Nuke

GPU fluid and particle simulations, rendered in the node graph next to your plate.

  • Fire, smoke and explosions
  • Blood: simulated, rendered, meshed and misted
  • Muzzle flashes, sparks, clouds and lightning

Requirements

What you need

System

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Nuke, NukeX, Nuke Studio or Nuke Indie 12 to 16 (not Non-commercial). The 3D scene fire needs NukeX or Nuke Studio.

Graphics

NVIDIA RTX 20, 30, 40 or 50 series (or RTX professional) with driver 580 or newer, for the AI tools and simulations. 8 GB of graphics memory or more is best.

Disk

16.9 GB for the install. The optional SeedVR2 upscaling model adds 7.3 GB when you first choose it.

Questions

Good to know

What happens after the 7 days?

Nuke still opens your scripts, but the output of every ANR node carries a watermark, picture and alpha, and the nodes' buttons are switched off, until you activate a licence. Nothing you made is lost.

Do the tools need the internet?

Only now and then. You need it to download ANR Tools, to activate your licence, and for the licence to renew with your subscription: in the days before it ends, it fetches the next one by itself (it lasts a week past the renewal date, so a few days offline do no harm). And if you choose SeedVR2 in the AI Upscaler, it downloads once. Your shots and scripts never leave your computer.

How do I activate after buying?

Your licence key arrives by email. In Nuke, add the ANR License node (Nodes > ANR > Essential), paste the key into Licence Key and press Activate. That is all. No internet on that computer? Use the activation page from another one.

Can I cancel?

At any time, in your Lemon Squeezy account (the link is in your receipt). The tools keep working to the end of the period you paid for, and you can subscribe again later.

Can I use it on another computer?

A licence works on 1 computer. If you replace your computer, write to [email protected] and we move it. For render farms, the Studio plan includes a render licence for every render machine.

Can I use the AI tools in paid work?

Yes. Every model included is licensed for commercial use. Models whose authors allow research use only are not included: see research models.

Which Nuke versions does it work with?

Nuke, NukeX, Nuke Studio and Nuke Indie, versions 12 to 16, on Windows. Nuke Non-commercial allows no third-party plug-ins, so ANR Tools cannot run in it. Try it during the 7 days on your own setup before subscribing: that is what the trial is for.
