ANIMATION HOUSE ITTINA BUYS RENDER FARM MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

The studio, which opened in February of this year, specializes in character animation but also offers all aspects of CG production. Ittina currently has about 120 employees and has grown drastically over the past six months. The studio and its animation school, Takshaa, are headed by Manu Ittina.

"We reviewed a lot of software and tools for render management and the main reasons we selected Qube! over other solutions was for its robustness," says Ittina.  "The other major benefit we saw in Qube! over the competition was that it was very easy to set up and to get working. Our artists were able to submit and manage jobs within 30 minutes of starting Qube!. There really were no unnecessarily complex steps required.

"Qube! provides us with an API and a scripting language that helps our technical team optimize and automate it for our pipeline."
