The first one was dedicated to Artists, Supervisors, and Directors. It included the basic features necessary for collaboration and review of the work done, such as task dispatching, commenting, status updates, and the review engine.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Then, we ran a new phase dedicated to Producers with scheduling, budget, and cross-project features (and soon-to-come, carbon consumption tracking). We also added the capability to compare forecasting with real data.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Following these two significant additions, we have entered a consolidation phase, during which we will refine all existing features and optimize performance. Once this operation is complete, we will proceed to the third phase, dedicated to Technical Directors. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>We will focus on integrations and extension capabilities of Kisu. In other words, we will make the use of Kitsu with DCCs seamless and ensure that our plugin system covers all your use cases. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>Overall, version 1.0.0 is a significant milestone for Kitsu.

In this post, you will learn everything we did during the past three months.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Kitsu\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Recently, we noticed a surge of studios using Kitsu, with many projects running simultaneously instead of just a few big projects. That's why we added features that were more adapted to this case.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>1 - Cross-production task list\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>You can now list tasks throughout the studio. It allows you to track the load and the progress of a whole department or a single person.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>2 - Kanban view\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>For artists, it may be convenient to manage their tasks through a kanban view.

It's pretty convenient to see if some tasks overlap with others or personal duties.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>4 - Single Entity page revamp \u003C/em>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Asset, shot, sequence, and episode pages were a little bit messy.

It's not convenient to do neutral automation. It's now possible to have an API token to connect to Kitsu, allowing the management of this access independently of a user.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Infrastructure\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>We spent most of our time on strengthening our infrastructure by setting up more backups and automation.

What do we aim at? To understand our goals, let me first introduce you to five organizations that you may have heard about:\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.miyu.fr/?ref=blog.cg-wire.com\">\u003Cstrong>Miyu\u003C/strong>\u003C/a> (France): They do auteur animation movies. They won the Annecy Cristal Award for the best animation movie and the Palme d'Or for the best short film at Cannes. They have elevated animation to the rank of art.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.blender.org/?ref=blog.cg-wire.com\">\u003Cstrong>Blender Foundation\u003C/strong>\u003C/a> (Netherlands): They build Blender, a Free software to do high-end 3D in any form. They are used by artists all over the world. Their goal is to bring anyone the freedom to create.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@ElReinoInfantil?ref=blog.cg-wire.com\">\u003Cstrong>El Reino Infantil\u003C/strong>\u003C/a> (Argentina) They built the Hispanic YouTube channel with the most subscribers. They bring joyful and educative content through music videos to Spanish-speaking children worldwide.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://yuga.com/?ref=blog.cg-wire.com\">\u003Cstrong>Yuga Labs\u003C/strong>\u003C/a> (United States): They manage the most famous NFT collections and build creative IPs from them. They demonstrated that with blockchains, anyone can create and grow their creative brand.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http://zuru.com/?ref=blog.cg-wire.com\">\u003Cstrong>Zuru\u003C/strong>\u003C/a> (New Zealand/China): They build and distribute new toys and personal care products. Through innovative designs, they could thrive at a large scale in markets locked by major brands. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>While being fundamentally different and sharing distanced goals, these five organizations have three things in common:\u003C/p>\u003Col>\u003Cli>They challenge the status quo\u003C/li>\u003Cli>They move the creative space\u003C/li>\u003Cli>They use Kitsu\u003C/li>\u003C/ol>\u003Cp>They all question the behemoths' reign and bring new ways of doing and sharing art. Contributing to their efforts and being part of the change they carry make us proud. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>When we started working on Kitsu, we designed it as a project management software for animation productions. We made it free and open source to allow anyone to benefit from our technology. Building a business model around it via hosting was hard, but it worked. \u003Cbr>The beauty in this is that over time, challengers, in any creative space, chosed Kitsu as their primary collaboration tool for their artistic work. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>With emerging technologies like real-time rendering or AI, making complex creative productions has never been so accessible. We are at the dawn of a new era where creators will be everywhere. Seeing new challengers will become more and more common. And to achieve their goals, they will need proper collaboration tools.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>That's why today, as a team and community, we must broaden our perspective. We should now see Kitsu as a whole infrastructure that allows anyone to build ambitious creative projects. Studios need to be able to work together and aggregate talents from anywhere. The communication has to be seamless, the iterations faster, and the collective intelligence maximized. It will allow them to build outstanding productions way beyond expectations. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>That way, we will foster a diversity of stories and points of view never seen before. By allowing studios and teams to work as distributed organizations, creators will be stronger and won't need to comply with a norm dictated by the giants. Better, they will be able to compete with them and create new narratives and dreams.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>We are already supporting this with Kitsu, and we will go further by enabling more interactions between Kitsu instances and providing artists with their own spaces. Spaces that will connect to studio installations and thus help manage their relations with multiple studios, make the hiring smoother and facilitate remote work. The collaboration will be brought to the next level.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Federating teams and talents is our mission, and we will go further in that direction in the upcoming years.

Studio-wide newsfeed\u003C/em> \u003C/p>\u003Cp>The newsfeed is a very handy tool in Kitsu, but it's limited to a single production. For studios managing many projects at the same time, it doesn't allow them to know what is going on easily. That's why we decided to extend it to the whole studio. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>5. Improved playlist design\u003C/em> \u003C/p>\u003Cp>The playlist page is now more pleasant to look at and will feel more serious for your clients.

We made good sales again and increased our Monthly recurring revenue to 36k€/month. All these new customers showed us that our pricing was way too low: it was too cumbersome to onboard new users and keep good service. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>So, we decided to match the market average to be able to keep serving quality. As a result, we noticed a slowdown in our Sales, which allowed us to stabilize things.

They aimed at providing something simpler. They had the small team effect where you can still be agile, provide new features often, and change cap if necessary. They had good traction and a lot of funding. It was enough reason for us to keep them on our radar and consider them seriously.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Now they are acquired, it's a whole new thing. Of course, they will have more funds to strengthen their Sales and Marketing team but it means too that it's no more a product company. The investment funds strategy is well known, they grow the valuation of the company by pushing the Sales. Then they exit when they can. There are few chances that Ftrack innovates much more than SG now. There will be some hype at the beginning then it should quickly fade away. Last but not least, to satisfy their goals, they will have to target big companies and probably outside the movie industry, no more small and medium animation / VFX studios.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So, what? This event had a lot of impact on CGWire. It's a big change: we are now the strongest alternative to SG. We are a product company focused on our users. We iterate fast and our user base expands quickly. \u003Cbr>With this acquisition of Ftrack, our responsibilities widen suddenly. People who are looking for innovations will now look at what we do. Of course, other challengers are already there (Cerebro, CGTeamwork, Toonboom, Aquarium, etc.). But none of them proposes an open-source solution, deployed in many studios and, with a strong opinion on the UX. So, at least for a while, all eyes will be directed toward us to know what is coming new for studios collaboration.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>It's a big duty, but we are proud to handle it. All along the way, we saw competitors stopping operations or being acquired. We didn't know that we'll survive such a competitive market.

Years ago, everyone was very focused on digital content creation tools. As a result, we tend to forget that good collaboration is key for delivering good pictures. Having clumsy or partial software for communication was good enough for most people. Not too us... It has bothered us a lot and pushed us to start something. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>When we talked about our project idea, we quickly met people who shared the same vision. They supported us and helped in the process of building a solution to this problem. Kitsu, our collaboration platform was born. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>We built the API of the platorm with Unit Image, a studio that mainly creates video game trailers. After that, we added a web UI on top of it with TNZPV and Les Fées Spéciales, two young studios at that time more focused on longer movies. Then, more matured studios like Cube Creative and Miyu joined the boat: we were able to build a fully functional collaboration software dedicated to animation productions.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>At that time, the whole industry started to consider pipelining and production management seriously. This trends helped Kitsu to spread. And after a few years, dozens of studios from all over the world included Kitsu in their workflow. Thousands of deliveries are tracked and reviewed through it every day. And we believe that it is just a beginning...\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Today, a major milestone has been reached by the Kitsu project: Epic Games, one of the biggest video game publisher, showed interest in our mission. They saw the importance of more efficient collaboration for the creative industry. They agreed that more open source tools on that subject were required. That's why, they (mega)granted $75 000 to us for improving Kitsu! \u003C/p>\u003Cp>That money will serve to bring better DCCs integration into Kitsu. Among the DCCs you will have Blender, Maya and of course Unreal Engine! \u003Cbr>With this money, we are going to hire an engineer. He will build a desktop application for Kitsu dedicated to artists and facilitate publishing right from their tools. It will allow them to spend more time on their pictures and communicate more efficiently. We will keep you up to date with the progress of this program. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>It's the opportunity to say thank you to all the contributors of Kitsu for their help and for showing the project through its better shape. It allows us to convince major players to push us forward. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>To conclude, we want to say that we are very proud of this Megagrant. It's a great achievement for our mission. Thank you to the Epic Games team for this grant. And thank you again for all the funding you bring to the industry. It really helps to build a better ecosystem.

When creating shots, Kitsu picks up on the nomenclature and increments your shot numbers depending on your chosen padding.

When a company wants to see some specific features in our software, they pay us to bring them on top of our roadmap. By doing this, they make the software progress faster in a way that suits their workflow. It makes the project more sustainable and allows us to add features that are really needed. This principle is part of the fundamentals of CGWire. That’s why, from now on, we would like to highlight the studios that help us in our mission!\u003C/p>\u003Ch2 id=\"xilam-animation-and-kitsu\">\u003Cstrong>Xilam Animation and Kitsu\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\u003Cp>Xilam animation is a famous French studio. To quote some of their productions: Oggy et les carfards, les Zinzins de l’espace or Lucky Luke. They are working with Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or even Youtube. They do some feature films too. Among them the wonderful \u003Cem>I Lost My Body.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>They recently acquired Cube Creative, a studio which is providing the company the unique expertise in 3D and computer generated images (one of the best in the field). Xilam employs more than 500 individuals, including 400 artists all around the world.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>When they started to work with Cube, they discovered Kitsu and how much it made the Cube team more productive. Naturally, they ran a first test with an upcoming TV show (I cannot disclose it). They were satisfied and decided to use it for other productions too. But when you manage many deadline sensitive productions, you need more tracking indicators. That’s why they decided to sponsor a few new features.\u003C/p>\u003Ch2 id=\"retake-statistics\">\u003Cstrong>Retake statistics\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\u003Cp>They needed more details about the retake rate evolution of a TV show. So, we provided analytics that show for every steps what is the current retake rate. You can expand it too to see how fast you converge to this rate. So you know quickly which episode is out of budget. You can react faster and fix the problem before it becomes too big.\u003C/p>\u003Ch2 id=\"improved-news-feeds\">\u003Cstrong>Improved News Feeds\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\u003Cp>Sometimes you need to know who did what and when.

Because we wanted to keep on delivering the best product as possible, we decided to hire a Software Engineer to help us with improving Kitsu.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>At the same time, Jean-Christophe, aka GoOz, a former employee of Cozy Cloud was leaving its company (Cozy was my previous venture). He was looking for new challenges, and one of his requirements was to work remotely. I asked former colleagues what they thought about him, and they all recommended him to me.\u003Cbr>Gooz is specialized in frontend development. He has a vast knowledge of Javascript, HTML, and CSS. He is at ease when dealing with navigator pitfalls and can quickly set up a beautiful UI for any project. He learned coding with React while he was at Cozy and learned a lot about app development when he was working at Clever Age, a famous French consulting company.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>So, I contacted him and introduced him to the project and the animation industry. As a former video editor (hobby), he was sensible to the animation movie universe. Even better, our free and open-source stack based on Vue.js was very attractive to him. It was the opportunity to learn a trending framework while improving an application used in production that enhances the lives of its users. He enjoyed it too that we gathered a vibrant community of pipeline enthusiasts.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>After a few more discussions, Gooz accepted our job offer! I’m glad to announce to you that he is now part of our team. You might have already noticed his first delivery: an improved website, more unit tests for the Kitsu frontend, a color picker for your annotations, and a quota page.

Reviewing was super efficient while dealing with assets. But with assets, most of the reviews happen one by one. And it was not enough for them to review their shots.

NKI is a studio famous for is TV advertisings like the ones for Nissan, Cartier or Givenchy. They are a team of 20 on average. They provide their client with high-quality pictures.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>They use Kitsu to track their shot fabrication. Our local installation allows them to keep a high level of confidentiality while taking advantage of fast network performance.

The result is that they can now import all the persons listed in their ActiveDirectory into Kitsu. And when authentication occurred, Kitsu API refers to the ActiveDirectory server to validate the credentials. That way it is not needed that CG artists create a new account. They can reuse the same credentials that they use for the other tools of the company.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>To conclude, we would like to send a big thank you to NKI for funding this new feature!

For all the reasons above, I felt comfortable enough to move on to the next step and expand the founding team.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>When I worked with Unit Image on implementing the Zou API for their pipeline, I had the opportunity to work closely with the production team. Gwenaëlle was part of it. She was handling major productions like the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsoIUHDrPcg&ref=blog.cg-wire.com\" rel=\"noopener\">trailer of Beyond Good and Evil 2\u003C/a>. I really enjoyed our interactions, especially when talking about studio process. Her insights were very helpful when we worked in improving the Unit Image pipeline.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>It also allowed me to know more about her background. She worked for more than 10 years as production manager on many kinds of productions : 2D and CG TV shows, CG short movies and commercials (in studios like Marathon or Zodiak). She was involved in small and large teams. She also had the opportunity to work in Malaysia where she handled the entire technical aspects of this studio. Needless to say, her insights are valuable.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Months later, I heard she was looking for a new challenge in which she can use both her production skills and make a wise usage of software to manage a production. \u003Cbr>At the same time it became obvious to me that the CGWire project required more than software development activity. Building good products require to spend time with users, to provide informative materials and make sure that the experience is smoother as possible. To get the best product possible, we needed someone dedicated to these aspects. That’s why I reached out Gwenaëlle to ask her if she would be ready to handle them.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>When she saw what the software was already capable of, she understood the potential. She has always worked in CG to help studios build better movies. To her, joining a project like CGWire was the opportunity to help studios at a much larger scale. It resonated with what she wants to achieve. And the best point: she felt totally connected with the core values of the project: simplicity, craftmanship and collaboration. After some time of reflection the answer was obvious to her and she jumped into the boat!\u003C/p>\u003Cp>As you can guess: today, I’m super happy to announce that Gwenaëlle is part of the CGWire project, as product manager and business partner!

In the following we assume that the API is accessible from the \u003Ccode>http://localhost/api\u003C/code> endpoint\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Prior to write our Python script, it requires you install the API client (\u003Ca href=\"http://gazu.cg-wire.com/?ref=blog.cg-wire.com\" rel=\"noopener\">Gazu\u003C/a>) in your Python dependencies: \u003Ccode>pip install gazu\u003C/code>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Now we are ready, can write our script (name: \u003Ccode>build_file_tree.py\u003C/code>), we must start by configuring the Python client and log in it to the API:import gazugazu.set_host(\"http://localhost/api\")\u003Cbr>gazu.log_in(\"admin@example.com\", \"default\")\u003C/p>\u003Ch4 id=\"2-assets-and-shots\">2. Assets and shots\u003C/h4>\u003Cp>Once the Python client is properly connected to the API, you can run the script that will create the elements of your production. Here, we create a simple production with three assets and three shots:new_prod = gazu.project.new_project(\"Super production\")\u003Cbr>characters = gazu.asset.new_asset_type(\"Characters\")\u003Cbr>props = gazu.asset.new_asset_type(\"Props\")rabbit = gazu.asset.new_asset(new_prod, characters, \"Rabbit\")\u003Cbr>monkey = gazu.asset.new_asset(new_prod, characters, \"Monkey\")\u003Cbr>chair = gazu.asset.new_asset(new_prod, props, \"Chair\")episode = gazu.shot.new_episode(new_prod, \"E01\")\u003Cbr>sequence = gazu.shot.new_sequence(new_prod, episode, \"SE01\")\u003Cbr>shot = gazu.shot.new_shot(new_prod, sequence, \"SH01\")\u003Cbr>shot = gazu.shot.new_shot(new_prod, sequence, \"SH02\")\u003Cbr>shot = gazu.shot.new_shot(new_prod, sequence, \"SH03\")\u003C/p>\u003Ch4 id=\"3-tasks\">\u003Cstrong>3. Tasks\u003C/strong>\u003C/h4>\u003Cp>All the elements of our production are now set up.

File tree\u003C/h4>\u003Cp>We can now move to the final step, creating the folders of our file hierarchy:import os\u003C/p>\u003Cpre>\u003Ccode>gazu.files.set_project_file_tree(new_prod, \"simple\")\u003C/code>\u003C/pre>\u003Cp>for asset in gazu.asset.all_assets_for_project(new_prod):\u003Cbr>    for task in gazu.task.all_tasks_for_asset(asset):\u003Cbr>        path = os.path.dirname(\u003Cbr>            gazu.files.build_working_file_path(task))[1:]\u003Cbr>        )\u003Cbr>        os.makedirs(path)\u003Cbr>        \u003Cbr>for shot in gazu.shot.all_shots_for_project(new_prod):\u003Cbr>    for task in gazu.task.all_tasks_for_shot(shot):\u003Cbr>        path = os.path.dirname(\u003Cbr>            gazu.files.build_working_file_path(task))[1:]\u003Cbr>        )\u003Cbr>        os.makedirs(path)\u003C/p>\u003Cp>That’s it!

It means that any IT can now set up a trial instance of the CGWire stack in a minute. Prior to that, you had to run into a complex documentation to install it.
