On September 8, 2026, Adobe Inc. lost a bid to dismiss claims that its content creation models, marketed under the name Firefly Foundry, infringed on trademarks held by London-headquartered Foundry Visionmongers Ltd. A US District Court judge stated that Foundry Visionmongers adequately pleaded likelihood of confusion in its trademark suit against Adobe. Previously, on August 21, 2026, Foundry outlined the pricing for its Nuke compositing software, indicating that Nuke is available in four commercial tiers plus a revenue-capped Indie edition, with all new commercial licenses transitioning to subscription-only since late 2023. This followed Foundry's release of Nuke 17.1 on August 20, 2026, the latest update to its family of compositing apps. Nuke 17.1 introduced updates to 3D Gaussian Splatting and USD workflows, including support for animated splats, the option to relight splats, and Hydra 2.0 support in the 3D viewer.
