Alienbrain was created for teams to work together (including remotely) on the massive digital art files required for game, film, design and simulation production Designed especially for 2D and 3D artists, files are displayed as high-quality thumbnails and previews, so you can find the right asset at a glance

The Alienbrain interface, with thumbnails and preview Alienbrain provides a complete and detailed version history of all your digital assets Coupling that with the Alienbrain preview capabilities, artists can compare files and easily rollback to earlier revisions Previews are available for several hundred file formats, including those for the Unreal Engine and Adobe Illustrator, even if you don't have those tools installed

Visual comparison of Adobe Illustrator file versions Alienbrain is a centralized version control system, with a master copy of all the project files stored on the Alienbrain server This workflow enables locking files to a single user so that only one user can work on a file at a time This is critical for digital art and design projects where the binary files (graphic assets, animation files or sound files) can not be differenced or merged easily like code files The centralized workflow also allows users the pull only those files they need to work on (unlike a decentralized system) potentionally saving terabytes of space
