Success Story
Proof Inc. is a leading VFX company whose team members share a unifying passion for storytelling. Specializing in previs, techvis and postvis, Proof has worked with companies in various industries including film, streaming, video games and VR content. With such a diverse collection of platforms to work in, Proof set out to seek a solution to optimize their software usage in terms of taking advantage of the latest Autodesk features, while keeping costs to a minimum.
In order for Proof to achieve optimization, the focus was shifted to ensuring artists got the latest versions of both Maya and ShotGrid. The latest features of Maya allow artists access to more complex data sets and to review sequences faster, which is key for Proof to be successful. ShotGrid provides real-time project tracking along with production insights in a cloud environment, which allows Proof to keep track of multiple projects in a timely manner.
To meet these goals, Autodesk Solution Provider RFX provided annual subscriptions of Maya and ShotGrid to Proof which contained the latest features that are invaluable to VFX artists.
Thanks to the guidance of RFX, artists at Proof were kept up-to-date with the features they needed, making their workflow easier and more efficient.
Thanks to RFX providing Maya and ShotGrid subscription licenses, Proof has since been able to improve how they provide their services to their clients and keep up with the diverse demand. Proof’s artists will be kept updated with the best tools while having better costs, which will keep them in place as a leading VFX company.
