Case Study: DreamWorks Animation Television achieves faster, more flexible animation look development with Foundry's Mari and Nuke

DreamWorks Animation Television creates 300+ hours of original content with Foundry

DreamWorks Animation Television faced the challenge of producing over 300 hours of high-quality original content for Netflix, specifically for their series Dinotrux. The goal was to achieve the studio's renowned animation standards while adhering to the demanding timeline of a television production schedule. To meet this challenge, the team turned to tools from the vendor Foundry, including Mari and Nuke.

Foundry's solutions proved highly effective. The use of Nuke's Gizmo system allowed the team to quickly generate different lighting scenarios for various times of day without needing time-consuming re-renders, saving significant time. Furthermore, Mari enabled seamless sharing of texture layers, which streamlined collaboration by allowing artists to work on multiple channels simultaneously. The result was a more efficient workflow that helped DreamWorks Animation Television deliver their quality content on schedule.
