All users are presented with a dashboard upon login which clearly shows their assigned workload. This can be set to a view tailored for different types of work.

VFX artists will see their shot list; modelers may prefer a task list. Administrators and supervisors can chose to start from a Projects Summary page, which is an overview of the progress over all active projects.

Administrators have total control over which users have access to a project.

Quickly reference a project's shots by sequence, artist, compositor, or studio.

One-click access to report generation.

By creating reports suitable for print or email, information can be easily summarized and shared with others.

The storyboard report is great for posting in a visible area for everyone's reference.

The shot reports can be used as a handout to artists. Any report is ideal for reference during discussions or meetings.

Create any number of user types. Permissions can be set to allow or restrict access to various features of VFX Nexus.

Acesses can also be granted per user and per project in order to keep prying eyes out of specific projects due to client or company needs.

User setup takes very little time, and can always be adjusted later. Users can also be changed to a different user type at any time.

Shots are at the heart of every project. VFX Nexus tracks all relevant information and status for each shot.

Different organizations use specific terminology to determine shot status and versions. Admins can customize these terms, as well as determine how they affect the count of the remaining shots.

User Permissions apply to all shot information. Only authorized users can set the status of a shot — no sneaking anything under the nose of a supervisor.

The primary feature is the running message log. This runs like a mini-blog for each shot, allowing artists and supervisors to list requests, notes, images, comments, and changes as the shot progresses.

VFX Nexus is focused on the progress of shots. However, there are many components required to finish those shots. These are classified as Tasks.

Model creation, mocap filtering, rotoscoping, data I/O, digitizing footage, or preparing a dailies session can be assigned and scheduled through Tasks.

Tasks are tracked and receive feedback like shots. For more flexibility, a Task may or may not be associated with any particular shot.

At last, a place to keep all your project text, reference, documentation, policies, procedures, or even the favorite lunch spots of the crew.

The Knowledge Base is designed to help keep all workers informed of best practices while performing their work.

With the Knowledge Base feature, a "persistence of information" is maintained. Having one point of reference may keep artists from reinventing the wheel or having to shuffle through the network in search of a document.

Production is very time sensitive—every artist, supervisor, and producer knows this.

The Calendar creates an at-a-glance view of all projects, tasks, and shots on their due date. A click on an entry within a date reveals the details page for that item.
