Alienbrain

Alienbrain is a centralised version control system built for digital artists and designers. It stores, versions and shares any file type through a visual interface, and it suits remote teams working on large game, film and simulation assets.

What Alienbrain offers

• Visual browsing — thumbnails and previews, including for 3D scenes, so assets can be found at a glance.
• Version history — a full record of each asset, with comparison and rollback to earlier revisions.
• File locking — one user at a time can edit a file, which suits binary art files that cannot easily be merged.
• Tool integrations — plug-ins for Unreal Engine, 3ds Max, Maya and Photoshop.
• Selective download — users pull only the files they need from the central server.

Who it works with

Games, architecture visualisation, automotive and engineering, film and animation, and simulation and training teams.
