Discovering InstaLOD fundamentally changed the production process at one of China's premier VFX studios.
Fontre Technology is one of China's leading VFX studios, serving enterprise clients and consumers from around the world.
One of the studio's key offerings is the full-service production of 3D car configurators for Tier 1 OEM clients. These productions typically entail repairing and recreating the CAD data originally supplied by the automotive client. This process often spans multiple weeks and requires several operators and 3D modelers working on the client's data.
Additionally, the client might desire to target different devices and platforms with their project, requiring Fontre to create several different representations of the same geometry, to make sure the application runs smoothly on all targeted devices.
One of the core components on display was InstaLOD. Fontre quickly realized that this technology could be a revolution for their entire internal production process and reached out to InstaLOD.
Within hours after first deploying the software at the studio, the staff was able to perform tasks that previously spanned several days with just a few clicks using InstaLOD Studio XL.
To the experienced staff at Fontre, a studio that is used to spending weeks on data-preparation, using InstaLOD to process data initially felt like a miracle. And the initial excitement did not subside. Right now, the studio is merely using a fraction of the new technology at their disposal. However, the cost- savings gained for the studio are dramatic and plans have been put into place to deepen the integration of InstaLOD in their production process.
Fontre Technology is one of China's premier VFX studios committed to providing integrated end-to-end digital exhibition and interaction solutions with innovative and creative technology, to deliver excellence and value to international enterprise clients.
