Pipeline Development

Pipeline Development

Exosoft has a proven track record in building out VFX pipeline automation, gizmos, and integrations for post production workflows. We have helped a number of post and VFX houses sort out their 2D and 3D pipelines, including providing custom tools for efficient and media ingest and delivery.

We have deployed and customised Autodesk “Flow Production Tracking” (Shotgrid/Shotgun) pipelines and can provide a far more advanced starting point than the default install allowing for out of the box Nuke write node integration, control of review colour space, Heiro export template and more.

We have intimate knowledge of the customisations that you need to make your workflows shine for your team whatever the production tracking tool you have. Whether you need customised file paths, storage locations, integrations into other software and systems, or augmentations to add functionality or features.

CoRE
(Conditional Rules Engine)

Conditional Rules Engine

From energy to entertainment sectors, success is underwritten by the value of datasets in so many businesses. Without precise definition, rules-based classification, and oversight of this data, workflows can become congested and commercial opportunities missed.

Our rules engine can generate deep knowledge about complex data assets and identify untapped potential in business-critical workflows. And it is really fast...

For one live job, CoRE increased processing efficiency by three orders of magnitude (half an hour instead of weeks), quickly parsing and validating over 750,000 data rows of data.

CoRE was described as “highly innovative” by industry experts during its development through an Innovate UK grant in 2022.

Data managers can expect CoRE to produce clear rules out of unstructured data, identifying duplicates, holes, complete sets, and underexplored potential.

Workflow Engine

Workflow Engine

Flexible and powerful tool to facilitate complex workflow automation.

Oversight, management and automation of any digital workflow.

Keep track of all your workloads, bespoke or otherwise, schedule processes, capture critical metadata and let the Workflow Engine join the dots in your IT workflows.

Run and capture data from running any executable, docker container, or API connected app across any of your IT estate.

Capable of automating processes in Kubernetes, docker or ssh/cli. noSQL allows the system to capture any data that the process generates and store within the database for use later in the process.

Customer Success Story #1
Exosoft spent mere days of development to build a Shotgrid AMI to convert notes/comments to PDF for easy export to 3rd party vendors or artists, saving huge amounts of time for the customer, allowing them to quickly and periodically review where the whole team was with the job.
Customer Success Story #2
Exosoft provided a fresh start to one customers Shotgrid journey after inheriting an overcomplicated and non functional pipeline. Amongst other things, we built nuke repository management and turbocharged the default Shotgrid config install to the customer’s unique pipeline requirements.
Customer Success Story #3
Exosoft turbocharged the customers default Shotgrid config install, built custom render and transcode workflows to allow on premise rendering, vastly improving shotgrid’s default transcoding features. We built custom ingest tools to manage deliveries from multiple vendors, standardising and validating the metadata on all files and deliverables, ensuring easy integration into the central pipeline.

EGG VFX
EGG VFX has worked with Joe, Sam and the Exosoft team for over a year and a half.
Exosoft have provided a range of different support to us including the creation of an entirely new VFX Shot pipeline; ongoing technical support for both Pipeline and IT Issues; extensive testing and supplying fixes and patches for our systems.
Without our VFX Pipeline, we could not deliver the BAFTA nominated work that we supply to our clients. Exosoft has been a first rate Pipeline and IT Partner.
They are bright, responsive, effective, and creative in coming up with robust technical solutions to the mission critical challenges that our infrastructure faces with every new project.
I cannot recommend Joe, Sam and the team highly enough - they are an invaluable part of our technical ecosystem, and we look forward to working with them long into the future.
