Animation workflow, pipeline, asset management & production control.

As announced in Highend3D , a new version of openPipeline "an open source framework for managing animation production data and workflow" implemented as a "MEL-based plug-in for Autodesk Maya" has been released. OpenPipeline "handles specific aspects of production: automatic directory structures, file naming conventions, revision control, and modularity that makes multi-artist workflows possible."

Miguel A. kindly informs: "Not long ago a new audiovisual project management software came out, ir is called "Project Overlord" , seems to be based on Alienbrain, but it is completely focused to management of sequences, shots and asset libraries. And the best part, it´s only 50 $ per licence..." Thanks for the info!
