IDEATE.
VALIDATE. OPERATIONALIZE.
SCALE.


Combining our talented artist team with a technology incubation model empowers us to develop novel technologies under real-world conditions, ensuring products are steeped in user insight from the day they are conceived.

On-Set / In-Volume Data Services

Leveraging decades of experience managing on-set VFX for large productions, we provide the following standalone data services:  
  • LIDAR scanning
  • Detailed photogrammetry
  • VFX plate photography
  • Volumetric capture (in development)
Our team (bootstrappers of ZYNC / acquired by Google) carries a deep understanding of image-processing technologies and utilizes proprietary tools to deliver high quality, production-ready: 
  • Meshed geometries
  • Re-topologized & render-able photoreal CG assets
  • Virtual Production / Volume-ready Unreal scene files
  • Assets for Virtual Art Departments
  • Volumetric / 4d assets
Recently, we’ve been at work incorporating volumetrics into our acquisition and VFX pipeline with some encouraging results

Past & Present

Zync logo

ZYNC

Marking the beginning of cloud workflows for the visual effects industry, the ZYNC platform was designed by us, for us. Now, as part of the Google family, it powers everyone else too.

Helio.com logo

HELIO.IO

A revolutionary cloud provider, Helio provides compute everwhere, for everyone. Together our goal is to democratize access to a worldwide footprint of spare compute cycles, substantially reducing costs and creating win-wins.

Comixify logo

Comixify.ai

Machine learning holds the potential to provide revolutionary solutions for the VFX industry and beyond. The challenge lies in the handoff from ML to artist. No better model exists than an integrated development process like we've built between Comixify's gifted team of computer-vision engineers and ZERO's team of senior advisors and artists. Theory meets practice.

Internal R&D

Our internal efforts focus on the challenges we face daily:  image processing / creation and spatial computing within the context of feature film workflows.
