Scott Iverson has recently released AIR 10. The new photometric lights, and approximate spectral rendering sound like they are worth checking out. This is the full list of new features:

• 64bit Linux support
• Unlimited threads
• Stereo rendering which does not require modifying existing shaders.
• Spectral colour rendering
• Physical light sources which support IES profiles
• User defined structs in RSL
• Exporting outlines as vectors

Also Francois Lord has released an open source Python library called NukeProcess. This lets you write Python scripts to run Nuke from the command line. There are many people who miss this feature from Shake, so this should help plug the gap.

And finally I have recently changed jobs. I am now working at Dr D Studios in Sydney Australia after 8 years at Cinesite in London. The Australian Winter is a lot better than the London one!
