The Foundry Launches HieroPlayer

LONDON —Leading computer graphics and visual effects software developer The Foundry has launched HieroPlayer, a new review tool for VFX.

HieroPlayer is a VFX review and playback tool built for artists. It gives Nuke users the power to play back every shot on the VFX timeline in context on their own workstation. This cost-effective tool is priced at £200 including one year’s maintenance.

A Nuke user with a HieroPlayer can export the shot or sequence that they are working on in Nuke, then play it back and review it in context with full audio on HieroPlayer’s VFX timeline. They will also have easy access to multiple versions of their shots.

HieroPlayer also compliments Hiero, The Foundry’s shot management, conform and review tool set. With HieroPlayer, Nuke users get access to a full Hiero project on their VFX workstation, allowing them to view and work on shots in the context of a conformed Hiero timeline so they can quickly review versions as soon as they have been rendered.
