Technical Director at Yaga Studio
"What SYNK does is enforce a very structured workflow. At first, this can feel challenging, but once you get used to it, it solves many problems—especially scalability issues. The larger the project, the more complex these challenges become, particularly when multiple animators are working on different 3D models, rigging, camera movements, and sequences.
SYNK changes how I work by establishing a clear workflow for animators, stakeholders, directors, and developers alike, letting everyone focus on what they do best. On top of that, it provides the technical backend to support this workflow seamlessly. I find it extremely useful overall and would recommend it to anyone handling a large project with extensive animations."
