Powerful Features for Modern Studios

Everything you need to manage your creative production pipeline, from shot tracking to final delivery.

Core Pipeline

Shot & Asset Management

AnimaFlow automatically creates and maintains your project structure. Every shot, sequence, rig, prop, and environment is tracked with full version history.

  • Automatic folder structure — Projects, sequences, shots, and assets organized by department
  • Version control — Every publish tracked with WIP and FINAL states
  • Shot creation — Create shots directly from the app with automatic naming conventions
  • Asset library — Rigs, props, environments, and references all in one place
  • Status tracking — Real-time status updates: TODO, WIP, REVIEW, APPROVED, FINAL

Collaboration

Review System

Send playblasts for review with one click. Supervisors can approve, reject, or request changes from anywhere — including mobile devices.

  • One-click playblast — Export and send for review directly from Maya, Blender, or Houdini
  • Mobile review — Approve shots from your phone or tablet
  • Annotation tools — Draw directly on frames to communicate feedback
  • Review history — Full audit trail of all reviews and decisions
  • Batch review — Review multiple shots in sequence for faster dailies

Studio Server

One Server, One Web App, Every Team

AnimaFlow runs from the Studio Server selected by IT. Artists, teachers, students and managers use the same secure web application while projects remain on the studio NAS, local storage or approved network volume.

  • Central configuration — IT selects Project Room, storage, integrations and licenses once
  • Browser access — One consistent interface without a launcher on every workstation
  • Role-aware editions — Enterprise, Educational, Boutique and Freelance expose only their intended workflows
  • DCC plugins — Maya, Blender, Houdini and other tools publish through the Studio Server
  • Local or network storage — Projects follow the path configured by IT
  • AI flexibility — Use the server itself, one or more AI workstations, or an approved cloud backend

A single managed installation keeps endpoints, updates and project paths aligned for the whole organization.

Integration

DCC Integration

Native plugins for the tools your artists already use. No workflow disruption — AnimaFlow lives inside your DCC.

  • Maya integration — Full shelf with publish, load, and reference tools
  • Blender support — Native add-on for seamless workflow
  • Houdini tools — HDA publishing and asset management
  • ABC/FBX export — Automatic cache generation for downstream departments
  • Reference management — Smart reference loading with version switching

Security

Self-Hosted Infrastructure

Production files and project data remain on your studio-controlled server. Licensing, updates and optional connected services are separate from your production storage.

  • TrueNAS / Synology / Ubuntu — Deploy on your existing infrastructure
  • Cloudflare Tunnel — Secure remote access without exposing ports
  • TPN-ready — Designed for studios with strict security requirements
  • Local production storage — Keep project files and reviews under studio control
  • Full data ownership — Export everything, anytime

AI Core

Synaptic Brain System

All AnimaFlow AI assistants are powered by a real synaptic neural network with permanent memory. This isn't a simple chatbot — it's a genuine learning system that grows smarter with every interaction.

  • Permanent memory — Every conversation, preference, and learning is stored forever
  • Real neural synapses — Connections that strengthen with use, just like a biological brain
  • Custom training — Actively teach the AI your studio's specific workflows and rules
  • Contextual understanding — The AI understands YOUR studio, not generic knowledge
  • Continuous learning — Gets smarter and more helpful over time
  • Cross-AI memory — All assistants share the same brain and knowledge base

Enterprise

Multi-Studio Architecture

Built for studios that work with external partners. Share projects securely across locations while maintaining access control.

  • Remote project rooms — Isolated environments for external collaborators
  • Role-based access — Admin, Supervisor, Lead, Artist permission levels
  • Audit logging — Track every action for compliance
  • Multi-project support — Manage multiple productions simultaneously
  • API access — Integrate with your existing tools and workflows

Revolutionary

Enneagram-Powered KPI System

Traditional VFX KPIs measure raw output -- shots per week, iterations per shot -- but miss the human dimension entirely. AnimaFlow introduces a groundbreaking KPI calculation method based on the Enneagram personality framework, developed in collaboration with co-founder Chiara Elisabetta Vanni.

  • Nine personality profiles -- Each artist is mapped to an Enneagram type, revealing their natural strengths and growth areas
  • Personality-aware metrics -- KPIs factor in creative temperament, communication style, and working patterns
  • Team dynamics scoring -- Measure how well team compositions work together, not just individual output
  • Growth trajectory tracking -- Track personal development alongside production metrics
  • Fair and realistic -- Significantly more accurate than traditional methods used in the VFX industry

Powered by Freyja, the HR & Recruiting AI assistant, this system helps studios build stronger teams, reduce turnover, and create a healthier production culture.

The AnimaFlow Pipeline Structure

AnimaFlow is built as a semantic pipeline -- every entity in your production (shots, assets, artists, reviews) is a connected node in a knowledge graph. This enables the AI assistants to understand context, relationships, and dependencies across your entire production.

  • Central Server -- Self-hosted TrueNAS or Linux server with REST API, managing all data and AI inference
  • Desktop Clients -- Native apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux with DCC integration (Maya, Blender, Houdini)
  • Unified Web App -- Role-aware access to production, education and management workflows
  • 9 AI Assistants -- Thor, Heimdallr, Freyja, Loki, Fenrir, Baldur, Bragi, Skaldi and Mimir -- each specializing in a domain
  • AI Inference Layer -- Local LLM backends (Ollama, llama.cpp, SGLang, vLLM) running on your GPU hardware
  • IT Dashboard -- Fleet management for deploying clients, managing AI backends, monitoring hardware
  • VPN Mesh -- Secure WireGuard tunnels connecting remote artists to the central server

Voice Studio: give your gods their own voice

Describe a voice, generate a sample and listen before choosing it for your ANIMAFLOW AI characters. Voice Studio is integrated into the administrator dashboards for Enterprise, Boutique, Educational and Freelance.

An activated Qwen voice service and a compatible NVIDIA workstation are required. Voice creation uses the separate VoiceDesign 1.7B model, downloaded explicitly from the VoiceDesign model card, and requires at least 8 GiB of free GPU memory. Speech playback uses the configured synthesis service. Availability of an AI character still depends on your edition and license; changing its voice does not unlock its tools. Public demos keep their existing voices.
