SAUCE: Asset Libraries of the Future
25Presented in premiere at DigiPro 2020 (https://dp2020.digiproconf.org/program), SAUCE (Smart Asset Re-Use in Creative Environments) is an EU-Funded project looking at the requirements of modern asset storage systems for VFX and animation.
The project is a collaboration between Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Foundry, DNEG, Brno University of Technology, Filmakademie Baden-Württembergs Animationsinstitut, Saarland University, Trinity College Dublin, and Disney Research Studios to enable creative industry companies to reuse existing digital assets for future productions.
This video discusses some of the requirements of modern asset storage systems for VFX and animation, introducing two systems that were built to address these challenges as part of the collaborative EU-funded “SAUCE” project: DNEG’s search and retrieval framework, and Foundry’s back-end asset storage. It also presents example use cases of the asset library from Filmakademie’s experiments in virtual production, demonstrating more artist-focused and task-centred systems that enable greater asset re-use.
