Exclusive! Buckshot free CG Project Manager

It´s not Christmas yet, but Santa has come to visit this blog and brings an exclusive present for all readers! :-D

Marcus just sent this email for you all:
Hi there,
My name is Marcus. I've created a free CG Project Manager called Buckshot.

 I used it a couple of years ago for the TV show Spartacus and it worked really well.
My aim is for us to all work together to create more open standards for our industry. I want to help individuals, teams and companies collaborate better and improve their efficiency. We need to be smarter not just cheaper.
The reason this system is revolutionary is that it's built entirely inside Google Apps and it's free. So if you use Gmail like some of the big studios do you're all set.

 You can test it out for yourself at: http://links.vfx2.com/buckshot_light
This is an open project so we need your input to improve the system.
If you like it, you can also get on the free beta test programe for the full Buckshot system which utilizes:
- Agile Development
- Earned Value Management (with automatic invoicing)
- And Gamification

That's it. Merry Christmas, and please send any questions to our G+ community http://links.vfx2.com/buckshotCommunity

Marcus www.VFX2.com


I promised Marcus I would do my best to promote it, so go get it now, spread the word, and hopefully leave a comment to this post!

More and more companies are trying to get nimble to enable them to respond to change with agility. Over the years, there has been a clear shift in momentum about the ways how companies manage projects. So, the project manager should be a PMP certified, who can better handle the planning, execution, and closing of any project. To get yourself prepared for PMP Certification, http://www.pmstudy.com is the best source.

PIPELINE: A simple projects manager for Autodesk Maya

A  producer of two graduation short films just sent me an email: "We all know how complicated Shotgun is:  I found this Maya-centric project manager that looks awesome. Surely it´s not the mastodon that Shotgun is, but could be useful for the new short films, mainly to save the burden of setting all the craziness we have suffered" Main features are: Project organisation:   Folder structure and naming conventions. Version control: Saves and versions scenes and  playblasts. Team collaboration: Roles and permissions Last update was in February 2018, but Lior seems pretty fast to reply in the  feedback forum . Let me share some relevant information I´ve found in the web page http://pipeline.nnl.tv "The license is restricted to a single user - without any other limitations." The " Non-Commercial use only  with  Limited functionality "  Trial license is free The " Non-Commercial and Educational use only  -  Requires Ema...

Interesting softwares for 3D distributed production (updated)

Scroll down for a brief update on online video-editing tools. Over the years I have coordinated several projects in which a number of artists work separately. Although very far from a perfect solution, I have found different useful tools that can help anyone in a similar situation. These are the tasks I have found more overwhelming, and the corresponding tools that might be to manage them: DEVELOPMENT. A lot of work has to be redone every time if writers, designers, etc. don´t use an adequate system. Celtx seems a very interesting tool to start properly with your projects. COORDINATION. Simply knowing who is doing what and how much is already done can be a nightmare, specially when you are not working full time on a project. The tool I find myself using more often is Google Docs & Spreadsheets . It allows several users to edit a shared spreadsheet simultaneously. It has some limitations compared to a full-featured spreadsheet ( or even compared to Excel ) namely conditional...

"Simple Animation" the first cloud based, virtual, animation studio has been disclosed at SIGGRAPH

Simple Animation  is a ground breaking solution that allows to set up a virtual studio with artist tools, production tracking, storage and rendering farm, paying exclusively on the go, and accessing  talent anywhere in the world . The artists just need the basic physical interface: any low-end computer with his choice of display and mouse/digitizer, and a reasonable internet connection. Once securely logged into the system, they´ll have access to a complete virtual workstation loaded with any production software they might need (either free or commercial), a production tracking system, etc. just as if they were sitting at a brick and mortar studio. Artists don´t have to install or run any software on their own computer, in fact they can´t even download the assets locally: everything is running in Simple Animation server, and kept securely there. The possibilities are truly endless: - Imagine you need a super powerful workstation for just a few days to calculat...
