Congrats on the 1.0 release. Being looking at since alpha.....

I got a bit confused regarding the workflow of using Atomkraft.

1. Say I am a individual freelancer or working in a small studio. I can
look-dev in Atomkraft with static assets or animated assets handed off from
animators, and use all the features that Atomkraft and Nuke provides to set
up materials and calibrate HDR-textured lights for a shot. Should I then
render final frames directly in Nuke with Atomkraft and then comp final
shots in Nuke as well?

2. I don't recall Nuke has the same capability of handling 3d
assets/geometries like Softimage or Maya. What if the asset I am dealing
with is already kind of heavy (e.g. hero character with couple million
polygon plus tiled 4K textures plus CG environment) in Maya, how can I
expect it to be manipulated in Nuke (with Atomkraft) and be rendered there.

3. If I am done the look-dev of materials and lighting setup for a shot in
Nuke with Atomkraft and want to port these back to Maya for final render
(along with other assets created somewhere else) with 3delight or PRMan,
does that mean I need the Atomkraft studio?

Thanks! and sorry if my questions don't make sense as I am still trying to
understand this freaking cool product.
