本插件是由Filmlight机构出品的The Foundry CaraVR虚拟现实NUKE插件V1.0V2版，大小：220 MB，支持Nuke 9-10版本软件，支持Win与Mac系统，语言：英语。

英国软件开发商The Foundry近日发布了新的CARA VR工具集公测版，作为视频合成软件Nuke的插件使用，旨在提升Nuke下高质量360度视频内容的制作流程。据The foundry介绍，Nuke参与了大多数好莱坞大型特效电影的制作，如《后天》、《极限特工》、《泰坦尼克号》、《真实的谎言》、《X战警》、《金刚》等。

CARA VR由四部分构成：

缝合工具针对多个相机阵列的画面，可以计算出焦距和镜头扭曲，用独立于深度的包裹算法把多台相机拍摄的画面缝合成连续的360度视频。

画面调整工具，包括匹配不同画面的曝光和白平衡，画面增稳，拉平地平线，手动缝合。

用户能在一个球形图像空间工作的合成工作流，包括跟踪，设备擦除和光线追踪渲染虚拟元素等。

交互式回放工作流，用户可以使用Oculus Rift头显直接在Nuke上通过时间轴预览回放视频。

此前Adobe的视频编辑软件Premiere也将升级支持全景视频的编辑，进行VR视频编辑会更方便。此次Nuke的CARA VR插件发布，让全景视频的特效合成也变得更方便。

Virtual reality plug-in toolset for NUKE

CARA VR™—the much-anticipated new plug-in toolset for the NUKE® family of compositing, editorial and finishing products—helps you to create incredible live-action virtual reality content.

With a specialised toolset that includes headset review, CARA VR dramatically speeds up the challenging and often tedious process of stitching and compositing 360° video footage, so you have more time to focus on creating high-quality immersive experiences.

Why CARA VR?

Seamless stitching of mono or stereo VR content – With an advanced stitching toolset based on stereo disparity technology from OCULA®, CARA VR offers presets for many popular camera rigs and is easily configured for custom rigs.

Automatic stitch clean-up and correction – CARA VR automatically corrects for exposure and white balance differences between cameras, and stabilizes moving camera shots for a more comfortable viewing experience.

Powerful streamlined VR compositing workflows – CARA VR makes it easy for artists to use NUKE’s full suite of compositing tools on 360° footage for clean-up, set extensions, 3D element insertion and more.

Headset review inside NUKE – With CARA VR’s support for popular VR headsets, you can review directly from NUKE’s viewer or NUKE STUDIO’s timeline, eliminating the need to export to a separate application.
