Maybe I qualify that that not all units in Nuke are in centimeters, like
all of the camera units in the projection tab like aperture, focal length,
etc.. are in mm, window translate/scale are in NDC… but the main tab on all
the geometry seem to convert to centimeters in 3d applications.  Also if
you want to get them to transfer properly when it comes to geometry between
apps then they need to be in centimeters. :)
