The founders of Foundry celebrate their quarter century birthday.
In this sponsored episode of VFX Firsts, we talk to the original founders of Foundry on the 25th anniversary of the company. Foundry is of course behind some of the most popular software used in VFX, animation and other creative industries, including tools such as Nuke, Mari, Katana and Modo.
Join befores & afters editor Ian Failes in conversation with Bruno Nicoletti (Foundry co-founder) and Simon Robinson (Foundry co-founder and chief scientist) as we go right back to the beginning–and before–to explore the early days, the first plugins Foundry sold, how the Nuke acquisition from Digital Domain happened, and the other key milestones in Foundry’s history.
