GT_PathTracer
Path tracer
A GPU path tracer with a Principled BSDF material model — beauty and AOVs straight into your comp.
G-Tracer — simulation and rendering that never leave the comp.
What is G‑Tracer?
G-Tracer is a GPU-accelerated 3D FX toolkit built natively into Nuke — a production path tracer, pyro, particles, deeps, Gaussian splats, and volumes, all as nodes in your graph.
Why G‑Tracer?
Because the comp is where the shot gets finished. G-Tracer keeps the whole effect in one graph — no exchange caches, no round-trips to another package, no waiting on a farm to check a lighting change. The solvers and the tracer live on the GPU, iteration happens at viewer speed, and everything ships as real Nuke nodes that save with your script.

Toolset
A full 3D FX department, as nodes.
GT_Pyro
Pyro
Fire, smoke, and explosions simulated on the GPU, flowing directly into the renderer.
GT_Particles
Particle system
Emit, advect, and shade particles on the GPU — sparks, dust, and debris, art‑directed live in the viewer.
GT_Deep
Deeps
Deep renders straight from the tracer — true holdouts, deep merges, and DeepToPoints in your comp.
GT_Cryptomatte
Cryptomattes
Per‑object and per‑material ID mattes rendered automatically — pick, isolate, and grade anything downstream.
GT_Splat
Gaussian splats
Bring captured reality into the comp — load and render splat scenes alongside your CG.
GT_VDB
Volumes
First‑class OpenVDB support: farm caches or live sim output, straight into lighting.
GT_Scatter
Scattering tool
Instance geometry across surfaces and volumes — density, variation, and seed control from node knobs.

And more…
Paint, cloudscapes, materials — and more on the way.
Workflow
From graph to final.
Bring the scene in
Geometry, cameras, VDB caches, and Gaussian splats load as nodes — straight into the graph you already have open.
Sim and light, live
Pyro, particles, and the solvers run on the GPU while you dial them in the viewer, with lighting responding as you work.
Render into the comp
Beauty, AOVs, deeps, and cryptomattes land as channels. Grade, comp, and deliver — no exchange step, no second application.
