ynput is the culmination of bright minds, years of experience delivering creative projects, and working through crunch time yearning for a better way of working. At Ynput, we’ve lived the "all-nighter" culture. We’ve been the TDs fixing broken links at 3 AM and the artists waiting for a render that won't start
What started in 2018 as a small team's idea to build a "reusable pipeline" has grown into a global community. From our first desk in a single-room office in Prague to powering some of the world’s most ambitious studios, we’ve remained a 100% independent, founder-led company headquartered in the EU.
We built AYON to do the heavy lifting so you don't have to. Our mission is to simplify building pipelines and automating workflows. We want to ensure that being an artist in VFX, Animation, or Games is about the craft, not the technical headaches. Success for us isn't just a stable server; it’s an artist going home at 6 PM instead of 11 PM.
A collective you can rely on
We are artists, CG supervisors, TDs, and software engineers from the creative industry and beyond, giving us a 360-degree overview of pipelines to accelerate workflows for creative teams.
Our clients are important to us, and their feedback shapes the AYON roadmap. By working very closely with creative studios, we’re not only on the bleeding-edge of technological advancements, but also take the learnings and successes of all our clients and implement them into our platform for everyone to benefit from. The success of AYON is directly linked to the success of our clients.
We believe creative teams of all sizes should have access to a powerful pipeline. Not just to move data, but to give people their time back.
Sharing industry knowledge
Our service is greatly influenced by the relationships we have with our clients and independent users - AYON's interoperability and robustness is a testament to their success - and that success is made available to any studio of any size to benefit from.
