A network for distributed VFX
Netflix developed NetFX as a platform intended to connect visual-effects artists and production partners around the world. The service was in beta at the time, with Canadian partners Frontier VFX and Galavant VFX participating in testing.
Planned regional rollout
Access for vendors, artists and creatives in Mumbai was planned for early 2021, with further regions expected as development progressed. The project targeted the coordination demands of global productions, where talent, facilities and reviews may span multiple territories.
Because NetFX was a beta service, studios evaluating its historical workflow should verify current availability, access requirements, security controls and data-handling terms before using it for production material.
