FOAM is the most efficient & flexible production management software for Digital Content Creation. It helps you achieve smooth workflow management for large scale productions and studio facing numbers of artists. FOAM has been developed by a famous creation studio and therefore takes into account the real conditions production constraints. It allows files, tasks management, and metadata structured in a client-server way.

Asset Management System

FOAM provides out of the box client server file management system. It includes a versioning system to allow tracking of modifications and efficient file transfer. The user interface has been optimized for creative environments, thus unleashing artist creativity rather than constraining it. Based on a SQL database, the system is highly scalable and allows definition of multiple storage roots to grow up with your storage servers easily. FOAM allows you to handling dozen millions files and hundreds of terabytes. Your studio gets a digital vault to allow classification of unstructured data.

Task management system

FOAM integrates an intuitive task management system to allow you define what has to be done on each of your asset: sequences, shots, elements, game level, etc... These tasks can then be assigned to users who can directly access files and elements associated to the tasks through links. You track completion, sign-off tasks or even use schedule dates if you want to. The system has been developed for maximum flexibility and can behave from a simple task list to a full schedule plan.

FOAM Real Player (Image / Sequence Player)

FOAM comes with an integrated file sequence player. This player can handle any image file sequence and has been especially optimized for .dpx and .tga file formats. This provides each artist a disk image sequence player that can take advantage of fast local storage. Since the system is integrated in FOAM, the player can load files directly from the server when there is no local version of the file.

Network accesses have been optimized to provide a typical 50% gain over standard network file access, thus allowing to easily playing uncompressed SD sequences directly from the network when attached to a typical NAS or SAN. Some tools allow building quick raw editing of all the shots of your projects that match file patterns, thus making dailies easy for large scale productions.

FOAM Render Manager (XSI 6.X)

Integrated network rendering system allows submitting jobs directly from FOAM. It allows handling file history of different render jobs. Management console provides access to images currently rendered and job statuses. Generated files are automatically imported into FOAM system, so that anyone can use them as soon as they are rendered.
