TACTIC technology
The Korean studio Dexter Digital is using the TACTIC asset management from Southpaw in more than 100 seats for the production.
TACTIC is ideally suited to manage large VFX production workflows. As one of the only solutions capable of securely storing digital assets, and then tying those assets to production notes, status updates, tasks, and resources, TACTIC enables vast teams of digital artists to know what they are supposed to be doing when.
And because each artist can also track the time they are spending on a given task, TACTIC is the only system that provides a real-time financial view of what assets and shots cost to create. This ultimately drives more efficiency into the process and helps studios complete even the most complex jobs on time and on budget.
