Real-Time Engines
Development environments to create games and industrial simulations. These normally support the creation of gameplay sequences, links to scenes and environments, gameplay logic including advanced AI. They may incorporate character animation, real-world physics, and shader-based rendering but when these are stand alone they are coded under their single task. Example Product Types:
Real-time rendering (as part of Engine)
Game development middleware
Physics middleware
Production Management
Production Management Software for the Media & Entertainment (M&E) segment is a category of software that helps manage and streamline the production process or ‘pipeline’ of media content. It’s designed to assist in various stages of production, from pre-production to distribution. It is focused on Film & TV and Video Games production only.
Here is a breakdown of categories:
- Asset & Production (Games) Software: This type of software is used to manage and organize digital assets used in game production. It can include 3D models, textures, sound files, and more. It also helps in planning and tracking the game development process.
- Distribution Software: This software helps in the distribution of the final product. It can manage various distribution channels and ensure the content reaches the intended audience effectively.
- On Set Software: This software is used during the shooting or recording phase of a production. It can help with scheduling, shot lists, script management, and more.
- Post-Production Software: Used after the shooting or recording phase is complete. It assists with editing, special effects, sound design, and other post-production tasks.
- Pre-Production Software: This software is used in the planning phase of a project. It can help with scriptwriting, storyboarding, budgeting, scheduling, and more. It’s designed for creating and organizing media projects like films, games, videos, etc.
Example Product Types:
- Pre-Production Software
- M&E specialist Project / Pipline tools
- Asset & Production (Games) Software
- Distribution Software
- On Set Software
- Post-Production Software
