Plex is an Animation, VFX and Games pipeline managing important workflows during production. Its core is a flexible and independent system for small to mid-sized projects and companies. The basic idea is to handle the file and folder structure, setup basic rules and guide the workflow to allow collaboration in a complex production environment. Plug and play.
Intuitively guiding the input and output of users to overcome problems and achieve goals.
Now you have a good game ... or pipeline.
