Mindshow, a real-time CG animation company known for collaborations with brands like Mattel, Netflix, and ESPN, has launched its new virtual production platform, designed to streamline the traditionally fragmented animation process. The platform integrates tools for asset management, previsualization, rendering, and review into one cohesive system, significantly enhancing production speed and efficiency. With proprietary technologies like advanced voice integration for lip-syncing, real-time motion capture, and virtual studio cameras, Mindshow empowers creators to maintain brand authenticity while maximizing existing character libraries. This innovation comes as the global animation industry, projected to reach $600 billion by 2032, demands more agile, cost-effective solutions.
In addition to the platform launch, Mindshow has appointed David Baron, a founding executive of Hulu, as Chief Operating Officer to scale its enterprise solutions. Baron’s extensive background in digital media, combined with Mindshow’s leadership team from top entertainment and tech companies, positions the company to revolutionize how brands produce multi-platform animated content. Built on Unity’s real-time engine, Mindshow’s tools are accessible through MR and VR headsets, including the Apple Vision Pro, making high-quality animation more immediate and intuitive for global studios and content creators.
