AYON offers a solution that can bridge multiple departments, locations, software packages and data sources. The platform has been built to address the needs of studios that have been splitting up into smaller teams or seeking to expand their services in new areas, by providing a production-proven pipeline flexible enough for hybrid working and scalable for various project types. Modular in its approach, the powerful pipeline tools help to automate the transfer of data into a wide range of industry-standard creative applications and production tracking software. We’re delighted to provide an open-source pipeline built for creative studios that they can rely on.” AYON dashboardĪYON provides the essential foundations to build a scalable pipeline that supports the complex workflows seen in animation and VFX studios. “The release of AYON gives studio owners, supervisors and pipeline TDs the opportunity to have complete control over their workflows with the confidence that their pipeline is battle-tested and continuously evolving as new standards are introduced. “Working closely with studios from the beginning has helped us solve the complex challenges related to deploying and maintaining a robust pipeline,” said Milan Kolar, CEO and founder of Ynput.
