NXN alienbrain VFX provide software for Pixar

NXN Software have announced that Pixar Animation Studios will be using NXN alienbrain VFX, the first digital asset and production management system designed specifically for high-end computer graphics projects. Pixar will integrate NXN alienbrain VFX into its state-of-the-art animation production process to provide media asset management for its studio in Emeryville, CA. The solution will be powered by a cluster of NXN alienbrain VFX Servers that will serve up information about the location, status and purpose of the millions of assets created during the production of a Pixar film.
Gregor vom Scheidt, founder and CEO of NXN Software, commented, "Years of working with high-end computer graphics projects have allowed us to create the first asset and production management system that can meet the needs of CG film studios. We are very honoured that Pixar, the pioneer of computer animated films and the undisputed leader in this industry, has chosen NXN alienbrain VFX."
"Computer animated films have very complex production processes. Pixar has maintained its creative leadership by actively managing this complexity," said Ed Catmull, president and co-founder of Pixar. "For the needs of the next generation of films we see asset management as a key challenge. NXN has shown a very strong commitment to our industry and its VFX system is the first commercial product that meets our needs."
